That_Guy, Thanks for starting this thread. I only started this program last month and now into the 5th week. Still in the 30 day program. Took up the guitar after a near death experience at 31 years old in a night school class for 6 weeks and afterwards life and family distracted me away. I kept the guitar (Fender Acoustic) and now retired decided after another life threating experience to try it again. I appreciated all the tips from the other members and hope to enjoy this group as well as playing in the future.

I’m still new like you but I found that by going slower and letting the previous cord play out I’m able to relax and move my fingers to the new cord without too much difficulty. watch how slowly Tony moves from one cord to the next. I also tend to move quicker than he does but by slowing down I’m more relaxed. Good luck.

Thanks again. I’ll give it a shot. If anything, I have persistence.

I just remembered another reply and thought I’d forward it along. “It is now time for some “Zen” We are all trees in the forest. This pain is the price we pay for our love and desires. You are on a good road. As you grow you will overcome many obstacles. When the pain leaves – you must find it again. This is how we grow a strong tree.”

Thanks for the reply. I still have the sore fingers and got advice ranging from getting softer strings put on, continue to play through it, run your fingers up and down the strings and use rubbing alcohol on the tips of the fingers. I’m doing the alcohol and playing more to get stronger calluses. I received a lot of encouragement in the Forum. Also, not pressing so hard on the strings has helped. Good luck with the operation. I know it has helped others.

Loraine, I’m playng the CORDS, specifically the G Cord and I cannot get a clear sound on all the strings. My ring finger on the B string sounds like a thud. When I lift the first and middle finger I can here it fine but when I add them the B just thuds. Could I be doing something wrong? Hope this isn’t a bother. Thanks, Mike
