Hello all,
Recently retired/disabled and starting yet another go at learning some guitar. Severe arthritis forced me to go from the acustic to a new electric, as it is thinner and easier on my bad shoulder. I have never in the past gotten past the basic chords and some simple note picking. I have never had any GOOD lessons and have relied on books and dvd's, etc. I enjoy slow note picking to tunes like Norwegian Wood, Greensleeves, Godfather theme "Speak softly Love, etc. I can play most basic chords but have no rhythm to save my life. I did order the idiot book advertised here and hope to pick up some more tips.
Lee

Hey Riverwolf. Great to have you aboard. I've had a little bout with arthritis, myself, this year and pure black cherry juice made a huge difference. Mix in a few tablespoons with grape or cranberry juice every couple of days for a month and see what happens. This has worked for a number of people I know. Maybe you'll see some improvement.
