If you guitar feels hard to play it may not be your fault.
Do your strings hurt and cut into your fingers when you play?
Are your strings hard to 'bend'?
Do your strings feel tight on the guitar neck and make it hard to hold them to the fretboard?
When strumming the Guitar do the strings feel ridged not giving easy vibrations?
If you encounter any of these problems I suggest that you change the strings for a lighter gage string. This will loosen the tension of the string and make it easier to play. Especially for beginners this is a technique that will reduce the necessity to use force when holding the strings against the frets.
Dirty and grimy strings.
Have you changed your strings recently?
Are your string dirty?
Are your frets dirty?
Does your fret board and strings feel sticky or not smooth to touch?
Your strings should shine not grime. Dirty strings dull the sound of your instrument. The string is also weakened because the dirt helps oxidize it making the it more brittle and prone to break. This can be solved with a new set of strings of course but the grime will re-appear. Fast Fret is a guitar polish for strings and frets to wipe of the dirt keeping them new and shiny with a vibrant sound.
