what chords if you have fat stiff uncoordinated fingers?

any one just sing them.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

You can play "TNT" by "AC/DC" with one finger except for the guitar solo.

Whatever you do, don't use the crutch that is "drop-d" tuning otherwise known as the "smelly cat chord" pioneered by shred mistres Phoebe.........until she learned how to fret a proper chord in later episodes.

I had the 45 of that song!

(that aside, watch any Ramones or AC/DC video, most bands use very few)

what chords if you have fat stiff uncoordinated fingers?

An open tuning, then just move one fat, stiff finger up and down the fretboard as needed.   :D

Which?  The Dropped D, or open?

I've always thought of open tunings as Keith Richards' tunings. :)

Hate the users, not the tunings.

I'm referencing the talentless hacks from the hard rock radio stations who you see in guitar player fretting with a single finger.

"phoebe" from "friends" originally played "smelly cat" that way but quickly learned how fret proper chords in later episodes.

She has my gratitude.

I went through an entire issue last year and only one picture in the entire magazine had someone fretting a proper chord........and it was a doug marks advertisement.
