Way to Go Joyfinder! Congratulations! I loved your share! This week has been, by far, the most challenging! The palm muting was a new lesson for me and I got a blister on the side of my thumb after the first day of the technique. That did not stop me from playing though! The last two lessons were very tough and frustrating for me. I am loving this challenge and everything I am learning. I am willing to / and have been consistent with playing every day, without fail. I have remained dedicated to grasping the concept and applying it every day. However, the barre chords with the pinky on a fret 3 frets away felt impossible. Because I could not reach with my pinky on the very first chord, I felt defeated. Then, today’s challenge was even more involved. I reached out on the forum for suggestions on any alternate ways. I started breaking it down. Before, I found it to be painful and my fretting hand was cramping. That being said, I am finally making progress. I know I am not alone and saw other similar comments. I hope you and your thumb, hand and the rest of your fingers enjoy a little break. I wish I could join you at the beach! LOL!
