    just play 'Lukin' for 10 minutes a day.:)

    Honestly, I did that and my fingers(though very small), became more and more comfortable doing power chords(Nirvana helped too)

    When I first started out, I found (completely by accident) that the easiest way (E form chords) was to put my middle finger on the G string and slide it up to the required position. All my other fingers just seemed to fall into place around it. I seriously can't remember practicing them for hours.
    It took me MUCH longer to play an open 'C' than my first barre chord.

    I learned power chords by using my thumb. Horrible thing and I still play using my thumb. If I had to play a chord that didn't include the low E, I would be screwed. I can play them fine now but I spent 4 months re-learning everything dealing with power chords
