Hi Gang, Just joined the site today. Although I have played for a number of years I started with fundamentals 1 and 2. Thought I might be able to break some bad habits..My name is Terry and I am 70 years old. Due to arthritis in hand and arms i have to make some adjustments to the way I hold some of the chords. I have a hard time holding a full barre so I just barre the first two string and hook my thumb over the top to mute the bass E string. I alm really looking forward to a long and pleasant association with many of you in this forum. and maybe even ,finally learn the proper way to play the guitar.
