Hey Russell, yea, that’s a tough one. But awareness is half the battle. Now you can know the right techniques to conquer it and with a positive attitude, its just a matter of time. Do the launching point practice, and slow it down super slow. If the song is usually at 120 bpms, slow it down to 80, then slowly increase it by increments of 10 as you get comfortable.

Hi Sheila,
I am getting started again at 62 years of age since 15 when I taught myself a few chords. I am so excited!
I too want to learn to play for our worship team at church. I am ready for the discipline required.
I pray that all goes well for you and that you accomplish all of your goals.

Hello Ken,
I bought my first guitar at the age of 15. I taught myself a few chords and that’s as far as I went–no lessons for me either.
I am so excited at my age to finally learn to play and to play well. I know that it is going to be a process and require much work, but I do believe it will be well worth it.
I wish you well!
