Take small steps. Go slow. Enjoy every small win. There is no end goal to learning the guitar. It is a continuous process.

The various lessons are all good.

Hi Shulamit,

Very impressive. You are getting to grips with this much faster than I am. I am still trying to get a flamenco strum that doesn’t sound lumpy..

Great work to do your own research into the scales and then use it.

Hi Terry,

Also your age and learning guitar.

Enjoy each small win and move forward. I know I will never play like my guitar heros, but that is not the point.

I just want to enjoy the progress. Best wishes on your journey.

Hi Shulamit,

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try and see if it helps me. Tomas suggests playing the A chord with the first finger across the D and G strings and the second finger on the B string, but I had never thought to apply this as the chord moves up the fret board. I will let you know how it works after a week or so.

Playing the full F shape bar chord.

Working on being able to move to the A shape bar but that is still some way off.
