Hey Tom, it’s really up to you how long you practice. But yes, if your fingers are bleeding, that’s definitely a sign to stop!

Hey Tom, Sounds like with all your life experience, this will be your time to master the guitar.
For finger stretching, they will get more flexible with regular, persistent practice over time.
Best of luck!!

Hey Steve, for “Lord I Need You”, you can use the driving pattern for strumming, as it is a 4/4 time song.
Hey Tom, just keep moving forward. It’ll all come together with time. Best of luck!!

Hey Thomas,
- If you head over to my shop page, I have a link to the capo I use as well as a bunch of my other recommendations: https://simplifiedguitar.com/shop/
- Hmm, I couldn’t say for sure. Could also be your frets are worn down or the bridge. I would take it to a local guitar shop (when the quarantine is over:). And let them do a full service on it.
- This will resolve itself in…

Hey Jean, glad you are enjoying it.
This is probably happening because you have 2 windows open, and a song in each window in your browser. Just any windows you are done using and it should solve the problem. -

Hey Michael, sure, I can go over that in next week’s live class.
