Hey guys just had a quick question about jumbo and extra jumbo frets, why is it harder to play chords? and when people say its harder to play chords do they mean power chords or what? im utterly confused. and im sorry if this is a noobish question, but thats why im posting in the begginers forums.

Thanks

Never heard of it being harder to play chords with different sizes of frets.
I think bigger frets are more tuning sensitive to finger pressure / slight bends, so that might be it. (i.e. it is harder to play chords in tune)

yeah, basically, if you put too much pressure down, you bend the strings out of pitch, so it sounds not in tune.
