That’s great!!

@Syria Thank You!

The Guitar I use when on the road is a Taylor GS Mini. Not to cramped. I do bang it up a little. Mainlly when I’m moving around to get in the seat. Don’t bother me, these Guitars are prety tough. If I do get a nick that just adds character LOL.

Your fingers will start to loosen up throughout time. I had the same issue last year. Especially now when I’m learning new chords.

Here’s what I try to do as much as possible.

* finger, hands, forearms exercise and stretch. Tony has a video about this.

* On Wednesdays, when you’re working on scales try to keep them puppy’s separated while playing scales.

* Even though it’s tough try to use your pinky more often. There’s several pinky challenges here on TAC don’t skip them! It took me forever to separate my two love birds. LOL! Ring and pinky. I think there’s a video also for finger stretching.

* Last and most important, trust the process, if you work on it every challenge it will happen in time. January was year 2 for me, my fingers are getting better but I continue to work on them every challenge especially my dinky pinky.

P.S.

If your also talking about being able to form chords properly. Tony has a speed drill on video about this.

1. Place fretting hand on lap.

2. Count backwards from 5,4,3,2,1

3. On 5 raise fret hand to form chord. On 1 strum down once then single picking EADGBE to check for a clean chord.

Good luck!

GUITAR GEEKS UNITE!

@albert_d

Thank you!

Love his music and all the history. Yes T for Tx is on my hit list along with the Pokadot Blues.

Just like Tony said about other artist in our challenges. His signature technique is in every one of his songs! That’s what makes it so much fun because all your hard work doesn’t end with one song!

Thank You! The guitar I was playing is an GS mini by Taylor. I tried both mini Taylor and Martin. Same price but the Taylor just sounded warmer.

Jimmie Rodgers is considered the Father of country music. He was the first inducted into the country music hall of fame.

Here is a short documentary of his life as the Breakman.
