any tips on chord fingering?

From 83340 on 1/7/2015 10:42:01 PM

Hello Gang, I am the proud owner of a Deering Goodtime and a rank beginner.   I'm finding it tough to finger the C chord without hitting the other strings.  Any thoughts?  I suspect this is just a practice/practice/practice issue.

Also I find it impossible to stand and use a strap because I cannot then see the strings.   Just sayin...

yep just practice. I can't get to many chord postions quickly myslef. Also a beginner.
I can't stand either and don't really plan to but I suspect when the time comes I'll use a bar stool to help work into it.
