My general goal is to get better at flat and finger picking, learn more new chord shapes, and have more fun playing guitar.

My initial goal was to form a guitar playing habit. Over the last 6 months, I’ve done pretty well to play each daily challenge. I’m feeling more comfortable with the fretboard and picking.

My biggest problem lately has been lots of pain in my fret hand thumb. I’ve been applying Tony’s guitar stretching routine and try to help with this. I’m also doing physical therapy work for an injured left arm. My next goal is to get back to a more relaxed way of playing, but it has really been a struggle.
