When you are starting you’re your thumb needs to press against the back of the guitar neck, and your palm isn’t touching the neck at all.
Hand position: Don’t grab with guitar neck with your palm. If you look down at your guitar, the guitar should not be parallel with your chest, rather the left side should be slightly moved forward with your fretting hand, and the right side moved backward with your plucking hand. Supposing you are playing a right-handed guitar, the body of the guitar should be resting comfortably on your right lap, the back of the guitar on your stomach, and the neck of the guitar tilted slightly upwards relative to the body of the guitar. Guitar position: Make sure you are holding the guitar properly. So getting back to business, how do you deal with this problem? Before you start typing "Are my short fingers too fat to play guitar?" into Google, let’s have a look at a few basic things beginners need to get right in order to position their fingers at an optimal angle on the fretboard: Sorry about that subtitle, I couldn’t resist 😀 As I mentioned, I can say with 95% certainty, that this is the cause of your problems, it's very common with beginners. Your fingers aren’t too fat for the guitar, you just haven’t developed your playing technique yet. So there you have it. If you've been asking "are my fingers too fat to play guitar?", my resounding answer is no. Their fingers aren’t curled and arched sufficiently. The guitar is not positioned correctly in their lap, the neck is too far downwards, so the hand position will be off. The most common causes of the chubby finger syndrome holding beginner guitarists back are the following: Granted, there’s not much space in between the strings to fool around, but if Johnny Hilland, and this guy, and of course the awesome Israel Kamakawiwo'ole can play well, you should be able to manage as well. 
This issue is caused by the fact that the beginner’s hand and fingers are simply not used to fretting chords. Your fingers are fine and perfectly sized for the guitar neck. This is perfectly normal, so before you quit altogether or start playing bass because of your "fat fingers", you need to know one thing: No matter whether they have short and chubby fingers, or long and skinny ones, beginners will always have difficulty fretting a note without touching the adjacent strings.
