Very cool wins and what sounds like a great day!

The pinky idea’s a good workaround. I have difficulty with the A-shaped barre chord having the full use of my ring finger, and my workaround has been to supplement it with my ring finger to help hold the strings down.

Glad you stopped by and received some inspiration @bugmeist . Hang in there during those down periods, and there will always be a bright light that brings inspiration.

Thanks for sharing the link. I’m always looking for simple ways to have fun. I’m really happy for you, in that you found something that brings a little joy. I understand those lulls that tend to pull us down, but when we find something sweet it is so much more special. Great win!

Thank you so much for your insight @Alisa . I really have a difficult time with the boom chicka pattern. It’s something I’m working on, but I still can’t look at my hands, because I spend too much time thinking about it and it doesn’t sound fluid. I tend to hit the wrong second base note all the time when trying to do it. I’m a little more consistent with the first base note, but even there I may hit the wrong one about 60% of the time. There is a definite learning curve with that skill. @dr_dave is a wealth of information. He’s a walking robotom (word?) in my opinion. He has more skill in his little pinky that I do as a whole. I truly appreciate all his input.
