Also choose the right neck thickness and width, body and weight. Some people have short fingers, smaller hands, less strength in the fingers. Take your time to find a suitable guitar, play a new guitar or get used to new techniques. During the rehearsal you have to ask the bass player to change instruments for fun. You’ll soon notice what I mean by that. Go to the music store and test ALL guitars until you get a comfortable feeling with the neck thickness, width, action (height between strings and frets), string thickness, weight of the guitar, body dimensions, etc.

Example: an acoustic guitar sounds wonderful, in particular large models. But feel free to grab a Gibson Jumbo, and you’ll understand why not everyone can play on it for half an hour. Make a clear distinction between a study guitar (a guitar that may not sound as good, but that fits perfectly in the hand, is less tiring and fits completely according to your physical profile) and a performing guitar (a guitar with the SOUND you need at that moment, such as a jumbo model, short and powerful but not to play for hours).
