Faith83: Thanks. Yes easy until power chords. I am so good at ode to Joy that I don't even need the tab anymore. It was such a great feeling and I was enjoying it so much ... then the damn power chords came lol. [br]I had never picked up a guitar at all until Nov.

I have an acoustic and I took it in and had someone restring it and adjust the strings as much as they could. It's in perfect working condition. [br]Maybe I just need to chill out take a breather and up my practice time? I have been practicing once per day for up to 30 minutes, I usually quit when my fingertips can't take anymore. They had gotten nice and tough until now it's on different parts of the fingertips now while reaching for these new chords. [br][br]
