I was looking at the Blues Guitar course - this is very intriguing, but here is my issue. I am an old goat coming to electric guitar late. I have arthritis in my hands and every time I try a video or DVD blues course, I get stuck on barre chords, get frustrated and quit. If you have a solution you can offer, please let me know. I am just not going to be able to get the barre chords (at least full ones) down, so I don't know if I should just forget about playing blues. I play fingerstyle acoustic blues and love it, but would love to find a way to go electric. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks so much for your consideration. john .
