    Thank you guys for all the great advice and making me feel better! Sorry I haven't been on lately, but life hapens/been kind of tired and crabby all week. I do appreciate you all taking the time to read and respond!! I confess I stashed the guitar that night into the back bedroom out of...

    Frustrated Beginner

    So I've been working through strumming and chord changes, reviewing past lessons as needed. I fully admit I don't practice as much as I should because I don't have a good space to practice in/don't want my SO to listen in. Thus, I mostly practice on Saturday nights when he's not home. Anyway...

    Comment by 'Aightball' in media 'Chord Review'

    Thank you!! It's so fun to see the progress and to think I might some day strum a song! I'm practicing again tonight and focusing on strumming. It's rough, but it will get there!

    Comment by 'Aightball' in media 'Chord Review'

    Thank you! I’m definitely finding the challenge in coordinating my strumming hand with my chord hand. I will work on that and see if I can get better :)! Thank you for the feedback!!

    Chord Review

    I have some work to do, but challenged myself tonight to just play the chords. Don’t think too hard about it, just play. CC welcome as always!! I hope posting these videos where I practice and make plenty of mistakes encourages other beginners to share as well. This is a wonderful community...

    Comment by 'Aightball' in media 'Help! Muted E String'

    Thank you! I tend to sit on the edge of our recliner, so I might want to consider a different chair...and I will definitely see about a foot stool to get better posture. I will definitely work on posture and curling fingers more...that's a challenge I've been working on for a while =)

    Comment by 'Aightball' in media 'More Chord Practice'

    Thank you! I feel a bit more confident now when I go to practice =)! Haha...yes, I do have a lot of extra string...I broke the original low E string on day 1 (because that's how talented I am), but had a replacement. I haven't quite learned how to spool the extra string so I just sort of...

    Beginner Chord Question

    That’s a good idea. I always think I can’t practice without strumming but just sitting and moving positions is a good idea!
