    Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it. I have been playing about 5 years. I usually play the Cadd9 chord instead of the C chord because it is easier for me. My middle finger on my chord hand is difficult for me because I smashed it many years ago and it never healed just right. I’ll keep trying and maybe I’ll get it someday. Thanks again!

    Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I have been playing for about 6 years. I know how to play a lot of songs (not from memory). I was hoping to learn more about chords and chord transitioning not so much of pentatonic stuff or finger chords that I will never remember. I don’t want to be a lead guitarist. I just want to play a bit better around the campfire. I think I’ve had the wrong expectations for TAC. I walk away from every lesson frustrated and I don’t want to practice what he is teaching. Thanks for the encouragement.

    Thanks. I think Tony does a good job with his lessons. It just doesn’t seem to be working for me.

    You’ll find that it is a very easy transition from G to Cadd9. I have used it for several years. Have fun.

    Thanks for your concern. I also have issues with the left wrist and hand. They are challenging at times especially when it’s cold. Not much can be done about my finger I should need to power thru it. All I really want to do is play songs for my friends when we’re camping. As long as I can do that reasonably good I’m happy. Thanks again.

    That’s a bummer. I broke my left wrist in 2019 and needed surgery with two pins. It’s healed but is still a bit of a problem when it’s cold. I also fell back in September and overextended my left hand. It’s healed but still a problem when it’s cold. I hope your issues get better with time. Thanks again.

    Thank you for your reply and advice. My middle finger is the problem because I smashed it many years ago and it never healed right. I’ll try your suggestions and maybe I’ll get it eventually. Thanks again!
