Thanks Dave.

I've investigated that A7mod voicing from all angles, pun intended, and I'm reasonably certain by now that the problem as I'm actually encountering it with it isn't either an adaptation issue or psychological block, rather a body type physical flexibility and overall finger length limitation issue -notably between joints. I will keep beavering away nevertheless as is my wont.

Re the personal tuition availability. Thank you. Had been aware. That's certainly stored away for future consideration.

My assessment right now is that I'm not sufficiently advanced to yet validate a benefit versus cost per lesson premium of any personalised additional tuition program, which rather negates the reason I joined Guitar Tricks in the first place with an annual subscription rather than Jamplay's sub and perpetual push buy by the module model or JustinGuitar's increasingly value added 'sold by the slice', and, 'extra per additional topping', necessary to access the 'tastier bits' or advanced material of his "free" hook model.

Not the only, but a significant part of the reason I stopped playing, or really rather continuing learning guitar when I was 20 years old long before the advent of publically accessible internet and this kind of tuition was the cost of lessons/tuition, which were only available as one-on-one or teach yourself with a book, the former's rigid linearity and pace restricted to a single necessarily scheduled lesson a week which coincidently didn't fit with either my shift work or other demanding life committment (effectively a second job and income) then.

Inarguably the most significant, a self-funded self-starter, I couldn't afford both, and my motivation for wanting to fly as a career had a much higher priority, so [u]very expensive[/u] flying lessons and objectives competing with guitar encumbered with time restrictions -there were preferred age guidlines and max. age cutoffs in both the mil and airlines then, were triaged the priority. Ultimately as it is in that "take no prisoners" industry, aviation became an all consuming mistress who would brook no rivals, particularly in the military in this country where pilot's course scrub rate averaged 65% of actual starters, not selection screening. I succeeded, so at least the choice/sacrifice wasn't for nothing.

Tempus fugit. 40 and a bit years on, here I am again, kicked off by a je ne sais quoi impulse out of the blue 13 months ago now in 2017. The passion for it which has been unwavering since I started has taken me quite by surprise, any novelty, immediate excitement, or stimulation associative with any new toy or venture long elapsed. Has me for perpetuity methinks. Will review the perceived benefit of personalised premium tuition/lessons once I'm there -I'll 'know', or hit a wall -vs a plateau.
