@Stevep– Thank you for the compliment and for taking time to listen to my song. I bought some new strings. We’ll see how they sound.

@jumpinjeff Thanks for the reply. I will work on the drills.

@jumpinjeff do you find that your b string is a problem with strumming as well as finger picking? Because I feel like my G string is a problem when I am strumming too.
I sure appreciate the feedback!

Sorry about the video folks. Thank you so much @Carol-3M-Stillhand. I have had this issue since I first started playing again last year, and you are the first person to give me any practical advice that may actually make a difference.
I was pretty sure it was my technique, but I just couldn’t figure out why.
Do you think it could somehow affect my strumming as well? Because I do think that whenever that string is open I hear it droning out above all of the others. It could just be that my ear is listening for it now, because I am focused on it. But it is driving me crazy.
I was thinking of getting a G string that is a larger gauge than the rest of my string set just to see if that might help.

Wonderful! Loved hearing you sing along with the song. Congrats!

Well then you and I are on the same page. Here’s to more FUN!

I wish there was a way to put a smile or a heart on comments. Thanks very much you two.

Welcome! Way to jump right in!

Hey @Braden. Thanks for the kind words. I hope it gets easier in the future.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, that final G chord is tough for me to get to for some reason. I need to be disciplined and just sit down and work in that transition.

I agree Mr Fred. It is tough to move into territory where we are just no good. But that is how we improve right? Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the kind words Patty. Those jazzy versions of the G chord at the end are very hard for me to transition to. Is that what you mean? Or was it a vocal thing? Those chords are a G maj 7 and a G maj 7add13. So pretty, but getting my fingers there is really hard. But I just need to keep at it, and I believe I will get there. I am definitely better than when I started.

Thank you! It gets to the point that if you don’t just keep going, you will never have a recording. So… onward! This one was a long learning curve. Now I need to find another song to work on for a while.

Thanks Ruffin. This was hours and hours of repetition and practice. You will definitely do it some day.

Thank you @Marisa. I bought some lube and will give it a try. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my song.
