That’s something to celebrate. Well done @IanGx

Some good advice here, something you can try is put a capo on the 5 th fret this will simulate a smaller guitar and if you are able to form the chord here easier (I recently went through this and came to the conclusion it was guitar/setup as no matter how hard I tried I would get a slight buzz but then didn’t when I had the capo on. Then I went through the thought process I needed a wider neck more space but if I could do it further down the neck why not at the top which led me to looking at my hand position instead of getting a new guitar (( which I will do eventually just not yet)) when I started making subtle changes to the positioning of my wrist this would push my fingers more upright so less contact and this has fixed it. For me I’m I’m ok with a standard c chord but when I’d try and introduce hammer ons with the middle I’d always mute the string but it has got a lot better now and once I get that new guitar with a better set up I’ll have much better form and technique from working this through. Don’t get me wrong I went through a tough time with with this to the point of stopping enjoying it but I’m through the other side now. Video yourself on your phone it can give you a real insight into what your hand is doing. Sorry to ramble just sharing my experience which might be different to yours but I had success working it through before spending £££

Good luck

Awesome Michelle

That’s the one! Did you know we would have finished 12th in the last olympics if we were an independent country. Also known as gods own county but I think a few other places lay claim to this. Now back to the thread looking forward to watching this, I have been delving into a lot of Celtic folk at the moment and looking forward to being informed cheers

Great work @Philb happy anniversary

Nice job Phil. I like these as with some skills it’s hard to measure improvement it just seems one day it clicks. These you can see the results of your efforts. I do the same slowly increase the speeds. Not at the dizzying heights if the speed challenges but getting there.

Nice job Alfred. When I saw the title I thought it was going to be a song off of one of my favourite albums urban hymns. Different lucky man tho, well played

[Fly]

Big win! I need to up my game Ive been happy with slow progress but I think I need to raise the bar. I aim to get all the finger exercises at 120.

[Fly]

I always enjoy watching your videos Omar, you make it look easy.

[Fly]

I approve. Great heartfelt song.

@Cadgirl i only thought of it as it is something I have recently gone through. I even came to the conclusion it was the guitar not me but being in lockdown and not being able to go out shopping for a new guitar made me work through it. Not saying that this is the case here for @Dimebag he might just need a different guitar because of setup/ physiology, just sharing my experience.

Can’t wait to get a new guitar tho I will definitely be getting something a bit smaller with a lower action and after wrestling with my basic entry level guitar for so long I’m hoping it will bring a new level to my playing.
