I did it! I managed to play a clean C chord a couple of times today. I'm not saying it's going to be perfect every time, but 2 days ago I just could not get a C at all. Thank you to Bill and Dave (Bill your little videos are amazing - you make stuff so clear and you're not too prescriptive to try little 'cheats')

I am finding that my fingers start to get sore after about 20 minutes and then I can't play anything clearly and the frustration sets in, so rather than carrying on and thinking I'm the worst guitar learner in the world, I stop and go back to it next day. I guess one good thing to come out of this Coronavirus epidemic is that as I have lost my job for now, I have more guitar time. [br][br]

One more thing that causes me frustration and which I'm trying really hard to overcome, is that I can play the sax and because of that, I irrationally felt that I should be able to learn guitar really quickly. Stupid huh? I've been playing Sax for 15 years and I'm still rubbish!
