  Title : smaller hands hard playing chords  
         
  QUESTION:  
 

Maybe a weird Q for you.

My hands are small... it feels like its harder for me to do chords where you most have bigger hands.

and do you think i can be a great lead guitarist without the harder chords?

Im really good in solo playing and simple chords,but not the harder ones.

Thank you so much Mr Marty Magic
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
Having smaller hands will force you to find other simpler ways to voice chords. You DO NOT need to be able to play all the chords! Just find what is comfortable for your hands and make music with that. That will be your unique style. Do not use 'small hands' as an excuse for not improving. Just work on what you can and make music.
