Hi @Loraine . This is the first I had heard of essential tremors so I looked it up and read about it. I am so sorry to hear about your hands having this condition. Like @stevieblues I don’t have any experience here – that said I would offer ideas for your consideration and discussion it others with more experience. One, I am wondering if having a guitar set up that provides very low action would be helpful (less fretting pressure require). Second, perhaps exploring an alternative guitar tuning (like an open chord) might allow you play and reduce the amount of fretting that is required. Third, would a classical guitar with nylon strings help – ie. Are they easier to fret (again, I do not have experience here). Finally I am wondering if some light hand stretching and strengthening would help – an orthopedic doctor and/or therapist may I hope others here at TAC have some ideas and ideas @Loraine .
