I appreciate all these suggestions. I also am most inspired by Loraine’s post, which is my needed reminder of perseverance.

Two questions:

1) Where do I find Tony’s stretch exercises?

2.) I have tablature for a number of Django chords. I find it easier to form a Django C chord than a barre C chord. Is it a good or bad idea to mix and match Django and barre chords starting out with this course — or will that cause confusion for me later?

That shorter scale guitar is also intriguing. I do want to get this old inexpensive Crestwood guitar to know I’ve appreciated it. Maybe I’ll get good enough some day to consider a Martin!

Thanks for telling me of your experience. And I’ll remember that use of the capo. I never realized that before.

I am so impressed with your helpful suggestions and the responses of the others. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the encouragement, and noting that my fingers should stretch more over a year. And I’ll try to fret less 🙂
