hi all - I am a newbie with only 7 months under my belt so far BUT - I am 69 years old. I’ve been a drummer since I was 14 years old but osteoarthritis has taken my ability to kick the kick and hi-hat away from me. Refusing to give up on music I decided to learn to play the guitar (electric). I’ve learned a lot but I just can’t seem to get my fingers to stretch apart or separate enough to be able to make 4 or 5 fret stretches and make barre chords correctly. I’m looking for advice from anyone who has overcome this difficulty with the how to do answers! Thank you very much. S S
