Intrduction

Hello, my name is Margaret. I’m 56 and on disability. I took up guitar to keep busy and enjoy life. I’ve had hand surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel and trigger finger. I can’t stress the importance of physical therapy stretches. My forearms and fingers clamp up and I can’t transition well on some days. I’ve been playing for months. Watching You Tube and Justin Guitar and Worship Acadamy. Areas I need to focus on is actually playing a song. I see chords on top of words and strum but unless there is an animated song showing beats per chord I’m at a wall and I can’t sing to keep rhythm. The 7 day challenge has a break down. But I’m not sure about the on going lessons. At least I did not see a cheat sheet. Perhaps the videos playing slow will help. Another area to work on is chord 1 minute transitioning exercise. Finding an anchor. I use a metronome app and a drum beat as well as for strumming. It can be like finger yoga. I try to stop my lesson on a successfully level so frustration doesn’t take over.  I also pray for guidance. I enjoy worship music and 1960s and 1970s classic rock. I need to learn xmas music for this year. The song library has a good selection.  I’m waiting for a light bulb in my brain to light up like an epifnia (spell?). Thanks for reading all this. God Bless your learning pace.
