How do you keep fingers close to fretboard?

Start with your fingers on the lowest string, matching your fingers to the frets so your first finger is on the first fret, second finger on the second fret, and so on. Pluck that string as you play the note you fret, keeping your fingers close to the fretboard at all times.

Can you play guitar with bent fingers?

They'll do just fine. If you blame your finger size or shape for lousy playing, remember Django Reinhardt, one of the biggest names in the history of guitar.

Should your fingers be straight when playing guitar?

Depending on the shape and size of your arms and hands, it may not be possible to play with a completely straight wrist. Most guitarists have to bend the wrist slightly. You should aim to find a position that allows your fingers to fret notes while maintaining a relatively straight wrist.
