    Nice! Thanks for posting. I’m glad you are starting young. Starting at an older age has it’s challenges. Still, it works if you keep at it. Nice looking guitar.

    Wonderful! My favorite version of this song. You do it so well; moody and melodic.

    That’s it. It will come along in time. When we are used to doing something in a certain way, it takes time to add to our habits. Both finger picking and using a pick have their challenges. Keep at it!

  • You may be an addict! LOL

    Nice!

    I am 72.5. I just finished 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Nothing gets easier, but (and this is a big but……there’s a joke there somewhere), you will improve, get better. Yes, I started before you, 68. If you keep it up, you will be surprised, even if it is slow. Keep enjoying what you can do; chip away over time at the tough stuff. If you learn some basic chords (let’s just say G, D, Em, and C); work on them until they become smoother, and transitions gets easier; you will be able to play thousands of songs. Change the order of the chords, the tempo, the type of strumming; you can make a large variety of sounds. Work on what works for you. Keep doing the daily lessons, but don’t limit yourself. Do some skill courses if you haven’t. Pick a simple song and just enjoy strumming it slowly. Keep it fun, keep going, and you will surprise yourself. Consistency will pay off. Be patient with yourself.
