thank you
Ken...thank you very much for your insightful views of Barre chords. I don't consider your note a rant at all...what I found to be most helpful was the part about "it's a long ride...." might as well enjoy it.....it is truly a very long ride. This is not anything that you can have expectations for quick lovely results. I have been playing for three months now. My husband for over 20 years. I keep smacking myself because if I had learned when we first met I'd be great by now......better late than never I suppose.
Someone asked about finger pain in one of the posts and I just wanted to mention that I had that question too when I started and a month and a half after the fact. More recently I don't experience pain in the same way. I think it "hurts" any guitarist because skin in just not made to be cut into by steel and that is just that......but the pain lessens over time....now I find it to be somewhat of a pleasure when my fingertips hurt a bit......it means i had a good long practice.....and on that note (no pun intended) i'm off to practice....
best,
Rebecca
