Jerry ... welcome to the forum with the most egotistical, hot headed, stubborn, maniacal, opinionated, GREAT people you will EVER find ...
As a former (wow, I REALLY used that word) accordion player, I too had my left hand 'flop around' for some time, but corrected that by having the 1-3-5 fingers permanently cemented so they can hit a triad ... ... you'll do fine ...
Best of luck with your new board ...
