About 15 years ago my wife gave me a guitar saying I needed a hobby that involved thinking. I started with a basic book and just plunked along with no focus for a couple of years. Then I took some weekly lessons for a while but never really got regular with practice and eventually stopped the lessons and ignored the guitar in its case. I had noticed Tony’s posts on Facebook but did not really investigate. Finally, as a summer faded into fall this year, I realized I needed to do something to challenge myself mentally mind. I signed up, did the five and thirty day challenges and now at it everyday. I have developed some arthritis in my left thumb that make some chords not really available to me. Despite that, I am doing daily challenges. It sometimes requires two or three sessions to get through the day’s lesson and I’m still slow to get fingers on correct strings but I am continuing and know I have learned things and am more confidant than I was in previous weeks.
