Music is a great healer and helps bring people together like nothing else I know. Inspiring story and I hope year 2 goes well for you.

Thanks to everyone including @Cadgirl @Bill_Brown and @Mike-Gaurnier for all that info and advice. I think the take away from all this is it’s good to know what people are talking about in the videos, Acoustic Tuesday etc but there is no substitute for going into a store and seeing how it works for you. To be honest now we’re finally heading out of lockdown here in the UK after an isolating 15 months, I’m hoping I can hop on my bike and head off to a guitar shop pretty soon. I would like a starter guitar that is a little less heavy on my fingers than my Fender F3 just so I can build up some confidence and skills first, but I’m never getting rid of my Fender. It was a budget guitar back in the 80s, but it projects well and it also holds great sentimental value.

Now that’s the musician in you coming out. Either that or Tony is getting very predictable! 😄

Good move joining TAC. I started end of April and have got so much out of it. I hope you have fun and I echo how supportive the community are. I’ve been wrestling with barre chords and I got loads of useful tips and tricks from TAC members. It is simply amazing how thoughtful people are on here.

Well done on your first year. Keep on practicing!

Sounding great with the pinch notes and string bends.

Thanks @Bill_Brown that is something I hadn’t considered. My Fender is definitely a dreadnought and it is pretty wide so I do feel like I’m wrapped aound a wardrobe if I’m in a low chair! I will definitely want to buy a second guitar that is a little smaller and nimbler but also because I’d like to eventually set one up in DADGAD so I can play some more trad folky stuff and bottleneck. Long way off just now but am looking forward always….

That’s brilliant thanks @cadgirl – just what I needed. I had literally no idea about all this. I niaively assumed you just had nylon strung and steel strung. Haha! What an idiot. I have been looking at Tony’s guitar reviews online as I know I’m going to want to get another one that is smaller than my Fender Dreadnought (look at me using guitar terminology) at some stage. Pehaps a TACiversary present to myself next year? 🤔

I’d be pleased to get to clear chords in my first 90 days. Going from one to another can be my next goal.
-
I hope you will enjoy as much as I have so far. You can see how supportive everyone is here and thank you for your kind words.

You have nailed the description just fine. I will give this a try. I think having now done the B Barre and getting it 80% of the time has given me a bit more confidence too.
-
These tips are so useful from everyone. I can see that it makes perfect sense to try the barre further up the fret board and work back towards the nut. So grateful for your input @Bill_Brown.
-
You are not wrong @cadgirl ! There have been some great useful tips above that I’m going to try out and see where it leads. I won’t be beaten by wood and wire!

Thanks @Marisa. I will get there eventually I’m sure but I’m not going to let that hold me up with my other practice.
