I am 62 have short stubby fingers and a brand new Yamaha steel string accustic.
Started cource two days ago and love starting from Zero. I probably has not gained zero yet.
But I train 20 min a day, before body start killing me, but I have strong will and one day I will play a couple of songs.
I just write to encurage other older folks, yes it go slow, and some of us dont have long slender fingers, and no voice either.
I would call myself musically dyslectic, have failed on many instruments before.
But thanks to daughter and a ukulele, I realized «I can do this», and yes your program go in a speed I love and I resee things.
Thanks a lot.
Warm regards from Borge in Stavanger in Norway
