I've been struggling with some things for quite a while, mainly due to my small hands not being able to stretch very far.
Well, today I was able to go from fret 1 to 4 pretty comfortably...still needs some work, but was surprised when I was going through my chet atkins book and was able to kind of do that....and the big one was stretching from 3 to 7 to hit the G Bass note and the B high note.
Finally! Now to be able to make the changes comfortable and without thinking....
And no more excuses now I guess LOL.
In Space, no one can hear me sing!
Congrats! These victories are just what we all need once in a while to keep motivated.
Recently, I have been able to successfully make a full barred F chord without looking (most of the time) and in rhythm. This is a big accomplishment for me and has helped with many songs I have been having difficulties with.
"Can't help falling in love" was the song that opened this door up for me...

I had just the opposite happen. I had been progressing nicely wioth guitar and fretboard. over the wekend I jammed with my oldest friend. we have jammed together for years and years.
anyway, somehow I had forgotten all that I knew and played terribly. I sucked big time.
he couldn't believe it. I was able to turn my amp way up. since he lives in the countryside on a farm we can do that.
being loud didn't help.
that is me. one day a happy genius. the next a total no finger doofus.
way to go Joe. watching your videos for a year now and I see progress on a weekly basis.
you will be so far ahead you'll be a dot on a horizon.
A big "thumbs up" for that Joe

Alan, thanks, it's a big thing for me to be able to do that, it was one of my "limitations" I had thought.
