    As a thought… Have you looked at shell chord voicings? If you need to play a 7th for instance the voicing only uses the first third and seventh note. For non extended chords you can look at using triads. I’m sure there are other ways around using 4 fretting fingers to get the job done.

    As far as building triads, you can learn that in the fretboard wizard here!

    If it is something that is recoverable I wish it to be speedy for you.

    Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Yesterday my mother was moved from the hospital to a convalescent center, where she will be for a couple of weeks before she can come home. I am back home and headed back to work tonight. Mom is on the mend and Dad is a lot less distraught, and has a couple of projects to distract him in the form of some songs we are trying to learn to play together in parts.

    While I played a lot with Dad during this, I didn’t do much in the way of practice so now I can pick my routine back up and keep plugging away at new skills. New skills were definitely secondary to helping Dad through this, and playing familiar songs a lot was a good salve for him.

    @Marquita I’m glad you took some time to heal, wish I could have made the VOM’s last weekend. I made Friday but missed the rest

    That is a feat I have not yet been able to accomplish past the 7th fret. Great work. I’m going to have to take a page out of your book!

    That’s fantastic Mike… I still have no idea how the guitar player from the Animals can pull it off with a flat pick…

    I can’t wait to hear it!
