Hey everyone,

Put me down in the "Absolute Beginners" group as well. I'm lucky enough to be working from home these days, as are many I know, so I try for a post-coffee, pre-Zoom practice session of about 30 minutes or so, then a longer evening session after dinner.

I find that ~ 30 minutes is the upper limit right now on how long I can go before my fingertips and/or arm muscles just let me know it's time to stop. But that seems like progress to me - a month ago it was more like ten minutes. But when my fingers are hurting or I get a little muslce cramp I stop and watch some videos for maybe ten minuutes then pick the gitar back up.

I got the guitar as a late birthday present a month ago; my deal with myself is that if I can keep up a daily practice schedule until my next birthday, I can buy another one . . .
