    Arthritic Hands

    Thank you! I had forgotten about that stretch, and I'm glad you mentioned it! I was looking back at my YouTube channel and I'm thinking it's been a couple years off for me, too. I broke a string and just don't have the $$ to get it fixed and don't know how to do it myself, so I put the guitar...

    Arthritic Hands

    This is very helpful, thank you! I recall now that a couple years ago someone posted stretches and I couldn't remember who it was, so I'll be sure to check those out. I have very large hands for playing piano but apparently not for guitar, haha. I appreciate the suggestions and will, again...

    Arthritic Hands

    I don’t exactly have arthritis, but I have serious joint issues in my left hand that make the fretboard on my acoustic hard to handle sometimes. What can I do while practicing to help this? I have an octave plus reach in my hands but they don’t always curl onto the fretboard to make playing easy.

    I'm Back!

    Hi everyone! I was on the previous school but stopped learning for a while. Decided to restart tonight minus a string, lol! But it felt good to pick the guitar back up. Looking forward to learning again and hope to meet some new friends here as well.

    Learning Guitar

    Picked the old acoustic up again. I’m a sub-beginner, and my old guitar is short one string and won’t stay in tune. But here’s my try at the chromatic scale from the first lessons.

    Community Riffs!!!!

    @AdinSheperd> Thanks for the tip! I will check that previous thread out =) Calvin> Thank you for that tip, too. I will get a picture up tonight (or I think my videos might still be up…it’s in there). It’s a complete beginner acoustic but it’s working except the string issue, ha. =)

    Ed> I will have to post a picture of the guitar tomorrow. I only know it’s the really thin E string, and it’s on a 3/4 size acoustic if I remember correctly. I’ll see if I can get a string winder on my next check ☺. If I can get a single string, that would be awesome!

    Community Riffs!!!!

    A new string…and it’s probably stupid simple but I’ve been on a budget crunch, determined to pay down/off some debt, so I haven’t been able to get strings. There’s a shop in town that will restring it for me, but see above budget crunch =). That and I have no clue on strings. I think I asked...

    The Ultimate Reward

    Well deserved, Jak! You’ve done so much for the students here and your advice is invaluable! I love this school and the community here. Everyone contributes to that community but Jak really helps bring us all together.

    Community Riffs!!!!

    Miss the lessons…still working on getting my guitar fixed. Anybody got a money tree? *laughs* But once I get some stuff paid off, or at least paid down, I’ll be able to get it worked on. Still enjoying the community, though!!

    Remembering The Rev

    I will always regret blowing my chance to see Jimmy live! It was 2008 and my show got rescheduled (three years later) but I couldn’t trade things around a third time at work. Kicking myself still for missing that. But I really loved his voice, how he was so comfortable with himself. He...

    How Is Everyone Doing This Sunday/Monday?

    SO and I went book shopping all afternoon. Best way to relax during hell month at job #1. Job #2 is heading into busy season, job #3 is winding down and waiting on an interview for a fourth. No guitar right now…can’t afford to fix a broken string but hoping to get ahead soon and get back...

    Toxic Trolls

    I second everyone! I was terrified of posting a beginners video! But I received a lot of excellent feedback and tips and felt more confident next time. I have a thick skin, but it’s nice having a supportive community!!

    Strings

    Thanks all! I apologize if my post sounded woe is me…I didn’t intend it that way. Been having a rough time with some stuff and it sometimes comes across on my posts. Thanks for all the awesome suggestions! I will do some research and get some money saved up. I hope to be up and running again...
