JonathanKeymasterHey Cheryl, what a great story, thanks for sharing. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to create music. I hope I have a part to play in making that a reality for you.
The pinky finger will be your weakest, and will usually be the first to give up. But with practice, it can become stronger, make clean notes, and last longer. Keep chipping away!
Yes, playing the guitar is like playing the drums, with the added stress of finger pain. There is a lot of multi-tasking going on. That’s why I always talk about breaking things down into parts. Separating the different aspects of playing into parts and mastering them individually before putting them all together. Many people try learning strumming, beats & measures, strum dynamics, chord positions, transitions, clean chords, and then singing, all at the same time. And they end up frustrated and not learning anything at all. It’s too much for your mind to handle at once, and you’ll just spin your wheels.
I hope the lessons and practice techniques help you to break things down and master the different aspects of playing, so you are able to put them all together into a song successfully! I’m looking forward to seeing that happen for you!You never fail until you quit!

JonathanKeymasterHey Cheryl, I also noticed that the text of this post shows a lot of HTML code in and around the content. Do you know what happened? Did you input that html manually? Did you use your phone to make the post?
I’m asking just because I want to make sure I work out all the kinks on the forums, and if there’s some type of error, I’d like to make sure it gets fixed. Thanks!

Brad HorneParticipantHi Cheryl
Yeah what john said !?
So much truth to what he is saying. I know i have wasted years trying to do all at once , ending up not do any much good, hence back he eight years after i started trying to get a good foundation down. Break it down, one small piece at a time.
Great story though, thanks for sharing

Cheryl DavidsonParticipantThanks for the comment, I usually try to build on what I can do, add in pieces I struggle with until I can. It takes time and dedicated practice.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Col 3:16
