My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

I’m returning to guitar in retirement. I was primarily a rhythm guitarist, playing a 12-string for my own singing and group singing. After about 20 years of not playing at all, I want to return to it. I have time now as a retired person, and want to: 1. get my body, arms and fingers back in shape for playing (there’s now quite a disconnect between what my MIND remembers and wants me to do, and what my body parts seem capable of!) and 2. learn more about fingering and fretting tablature, which I never learned much about being self-taught on a 12-string.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

I am trying to play at least a little bit each day, but I’m finding a 5-day a week goal is more realistic. I don’t have a regular time set for playing. My schedule is very flexible, so I don’t have trouble finding time to sit down and play, but it’s better to have the freedom to make day to day adjustments. I play in my office/studio. I’ve made some good adaptations to a chair that is making it easier to hold my guitar, plus it is my creative space for many things I do.
