Hello Darren. Presuming you're Aussie or Brit using the vernacular "Parachute Regiment" and a previous nick Dazza2466 (a typical Aussie name contraction). Having read through your six previous posts (e.g. 07/22/20) to try and get some background dates, past experience etc. Understand you have a brain injury from a work related incident, one symptom of which mentioned by you is epilepsy. Are there any additional presenting symptoms which might affect your motor skills relative to playign guitar, i.e. co-ordination, or brain function relative to learning that would be of importance to know in order to offer meaningful "guidence"?
[br]While determination, repetition, perserverance, patience & time are five primary ingredients of any truthful answer, more info is required for any guidance to be targeted and meaningful beyond that or banal phrases of encouragment.
What "difficulties" precisely are you having?
i.e. Forming any chord per se, forming particular chords e.g. F, Bm, forming particular types of chords, i.e. barre vs open, playing chords in a song at tempo, just playing a chord progression e.g.in C, I vi IV V fluently, or transitioning from one to another at all (basic) i.e. A-D-A-E-A?
Example/s? Be specific.
I note in post of today's date you also mention "I am struggling with my strumming", subsequently offered sterling advice by JeffS. So it'd be helpful to know how far into and which course are you attempting since you've restarted, as in another much earlier post of more than a year ago (07/09/2019) addressed to Anders sub-forum under your previous nick of dazzz2466 you mention "I am having some difficulties on the Beginners Rock 1 Lessons"?
If you're a beginner or re-beginner after a lengthy hiatus, you should start here and [u]work through following the course structure progressively[/u] with consistency. Rock Level 1 is not the place to start unless you are an intermediate-'beginner' or more experienced, which it doesn't sound like from the tenor of your posts..
Until we know more, general guidence was offered in my second paragraph.
[br]Best wishes & cheers,
