    Congrats on the guitar!

    On any guitar skill or technique, the thing I have learned is, practice, repetition, and time. I get so impatient with certain things (like making and transitioning to the Bm chord smoothly). I am better than last year, the year before, etc; and depending on where I am moving to it from, may do it well enough for that piece; but still find some inaccuracy or inconsistency at times. My old fingers just don’t want to cooperate at times. Keep going, and enjoy the new guitar.

    Nice channel! Your property looks great. I was just in PA in September to visit my daughter and her hubby in the Oley Valley. You are playing well. Thanks for sharing! Stay warm now.

    That’s the way you do it. Keep going! Do the best you can; enjoy the journey; don’t stress over slowness, imperfection, etc.; and you will see improvement. It creeps up on you. Consistency pays off; even at 10 minutes a day. I know I ended up spending more time many days, and venturing into other areas; but that is okay also. Keep well!

    Welcome to TAC CamiB! I cannot speak from the small or medium hand point of view of a female, but even as an average hand size for a male, older though (73), with arthritis to some extent; some chords and stretches are tough. There are short cuts to some chords (making a partial chord and strumming only some of the strings); but I think the main thing may be as already brought up, use a guitar that is smaller (3/4 size is pretty popular and available in many different brands and price range). Also, just keep going. Practice, stretch……and keep going. It sometimes seems a slow process, but you will figure it out for yourself. Enjoy the journey!
