I am an 83 +yr old male,w/Glaucoma+low vision.No prob'.Can play accoustic guitar,pick out songs w/chord accompanyment."Kitchen Junket Style".What I need are SIMPLE runs between chords and maybe a few EASY "fill-ins"(what are they called?)after each line .I cannot read musicn-never have-call it a mental block!Easy beginnings+endings would be nice-I sometimes repeat a line for that.This is for my own enjoyment.Imagine you are instructing your 4-yr old,perhaps.(What I would REALLY like to be able to do is Pick fingerstyle like Earl Scruggs!!(Never happen)My Hero.
Thanks for listening.

Hey Ebenfrank,
I may have something for you, and you can even work on your strumming techniques. These are short runs in between chords, and several boom chick patterns used for bluegrass. You mentioned Earl Scruggs, so I hope this is what you're looking for.

Every other one is with fills, or go through all of them if you want to work on your strumming. I hope this helps, and let me know your progress.

Hey Ebenfrank,
I just noticed you don't have full access, let me know what key, and I'll see if I can help you figure it out.
