Slippery slope is a fallacy

I use Focal Alpha 50 evos for exactly what you are talking about and it works well for me, what is your monitor budget?

I was given a bullet strat for free. Right now I pick it up every day cause it's fun, and I have been messing with different saddle heights and truss rod relief. There seems to have been some fret work done to it at some point before I got it, so as long as what you get has even frets and not sharp frets I think they are fun little guitars.

Why are you spamming firefox logo memes?

Alright, I will give that a try next time I play and see how it feels.

Like the model of the guitar?

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by hand is parallel to the fretboard, do you mean perpindicular, oh or do you mean parallel with the frets themselves?

 

Hello, I am new to guitar (3 weeks) and I am practicing every day (a bit too much some days which could be exacerbating) and I have pretty small hands. I think my middle finger measures about 3 inches.

I played a lot over the past few days and my left hand (fretting hand in my case) is sore not in a good way I don't think. I kind of have to contort my hand if I am up near the head stock fretting 1 and 4.

I am not discouraged. It seems like all youtube videos just say don't give up with small hands, not exactly helpful. I'm plenty motivated and want to keep going but I don't want to injure myself.

So all that to say any advice on being able to fret well by the headstock with small hands? I also think my wrist is not in a healthy position but I can't reach my fingers far enough apart without doing some hand yoga.
