    Hey @Rob503 I hope your health issues are netter soon. I know the set back must be a little depressing, and you may feel so deflated that you’ve contemplated throwing in the towel. I hope that’s not the case. I might take a slightly different approach to your situation. My suggestion is take time to heal. That is most important. I got tendonitis and tennis elbow in my 2nd year of playing. I was told I had to refrain from playing until healed, which might be a few months to a year or more. It was the hardest and most frustrating thing I had to do. I was afraid of falling behind, losing momentum, etc. I didn’t necessarily play, but I decided to find creative ways to stay connected. I decided to continue to go on the site every day, and to simply watch the daily lesson. I did not pick my guitar up. I reviewed some of Fretboard Wizard, I listened to some to try and determine the key of the song, and I dove more into different aspects of theory As my arm began to feel better, I began working on simple songs in alternate open tunings. Point is, heal up. The guitar is a very patient instrument. We need to get over our impatience. Good luck with it all.
