A setup is a good idea for any guitar. New or old. Hopefully the store did that for you when you bought it. They don’t always do that and it may have solved your problem with the Yamaha too.

Prosthetics are possible too. Just ask the famous guitar player from Black Sabbath, Mr. Tony Iommi.

This Is What Happened To Tony Iommi's Fingers - Grunge
Iommi is generally considered one of the best rock guitarists of all time, a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Those are crazy feats when you consider he's missing a couple crucial body parts needed for that … Continue reading

Go slow. Time and muscle memory is the only way. Better to go slow and memorize the right way than to try to play at speed and keep getting it wrong. Patient practice is the key.

LOTS of ways to do this with browser plug-ins and software. I suggest you do an internet search because I’m not about to tell you on his own site how to get content from Tony that he clearly doesn’t want you to have (or he would have made it available already).

Yup… just thought you should know. Most people post without ever realizing what they’ve given away.

Just remember that you lose ownership of the video once posted and YT can do whatever they want with it. Pretty much the reason you don’t see my stuff there…. and won’t.

Yes, that’s the way power chords are made/named.
As to pinky use….it depends where you put it down. If you put it at the 3rd fret on the 4th string (while keeping the shape you’ve already described) then it’s still an F.

Definitely. For the purposes of TAC either would be fine.

Good luck with the surgery this week Loraine! I’ll be thinking of you.

Words of wisdom (as per usual) from JJ. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Absolutely agree. I’ve met both Bob and Andy on several occasions and they’ve always been nothing but kind and generous with their time. No need to be “petrified” of anyone like that. These are, as you discovered, just fellow humans.

It’s been good to get to know you and see your progress over the past 4 years @Loraine. Yes, lots of progress. Keep it up my friend!

Amazing! Thanks Moose408!

Well thank you Loraine! I had no idea actually but I’m flattered. I rarely make it to the East Coast anymore. My family has passed on or moved away from where they used to be. I got as close as Chicago last month but if and when I get anywhere near your area again you KNOW I’ll find you Loraine. Of course if you ever get to California…
Best wishes for your continued success on your guitar journey my friend!
