Hello everyone.


 


I'm Chip, 60 years old.  Starting again after giving up as a teen because of injury.  Am right handed and have a damaged left hand that can't fret, but it can strum.  Decided to go left handed so have been working on a left handed guitar.  Its slow but feels good to give it a go.  Listen to Led Zepplin the most.  Went to a Tommy Emmanuel concert recently and was simply amazed.  Also saw Billy Strings.  I go to any live guitar show I can.


I have been struggling with position.  The neck sways forward when I release and fingering with my right hand.  Don't know if it is the way my left elbow is resting on the body.


 


Nice to join such a lively group!!


Cheers Chip
