  • Wimpy pinky and new callous on ring finger

    Posted by CMcK on December 11, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    Before I started TAC (less than two weeks ago) I thought I had a breakthrough just learning ADE chords. But then I wasn’t making any progress. Now I realize how much work I need to put in using my (wimpy) pinky and ring finger. I was surprised that I can now play a C chord. Still not sounding great but improving every day. I really appreciate Tony’s experience as a teacher and how he reminds me to just keep going!

    @CMcK Welcome to TAC! It’s funny when we begin on our guitar journey, and it’s true, we often are frustrated or feel that we are not moving as quickly as we had hoped but then we have those exciting moments of clarity or where something just clicks or falls into place, and that’s what I think keeps the excitement of learning the guitar so freshen our memory and that it gives us an energy to keep moving forward because we want to see what’s next and we want to improve. Great win! BTW, that dang C chord seems so impossible at the beginning I hear more people say that they have difficulty with that chord over all the other others, except for the barre chords, of course. But even that is conquerable as you’re experiencing.
