Hey Yall!

Hi, My name is Misti. I am brand new on the guitar. Just developing some good calluses. The C chord is killing my 1rst finger but I'm having a great time and feeling like I can learn what I need to move on to really being able to enjoy sitting on my front porch swing picking and strumming some of my faves.

Keep up the good work! The calluses are beautiful, aren't they? ;)

Hi and welcome! Guitar can be hard on your fingers in the beginning, but it gets better.
