PHC-
Welcome to TAC!
I have a couple of thoughts and suggestions for ya……
First off- Read, and re-read, and re-read again- the last sentence in Moose’s first paragraph- (about being patient with yourself). He nailed it.
ESPECIALLY— (being a natural “leftie-playing-righty”)…….. Make sure to do at least SOME stretching/warmup exercises before EACH session. You can find a course for these in the “Skills Courses” area.
(Don’t know “where you are” in your guitar-journey)- but I’ll maybe suggest this— what gauge are your strings(?). Maybe/possibly, it will seem “easier” to play with a set of “light” or even “extra-light” strings(?)…..
Maybe(?) also have your guitar “looked at” to see if the “action” is too high. This can make a HUGE difference in the instrument’s playability– and your enjoyment of it😀.
Alright, now, go back and re-read Moose’s post- (yes– again).
Remember-
“Progress over perfection”
“Expectation is where fun goes to die”- (my all-time favorite quote/saying)
“It’s about the journey- not the destination”
Don’t be a stranger here in this Forum….. There is an incredible group of people in here!
