@Steve Krenz suggests on one of the DVD lessons for Session 7 acoustic players consider switching to lighter strings to make learning Barre chords easier. I put Elixir extra lites on my Takamine GD93 Friday. It was a great suggestion. Sounds great and It easier just a bit easier. I do get a little buzz on low E low notes if I don’t get my finger closer to the fret, but that’s probably good practice anyway.

@matonanjin @pkotof He will be missed. Great tunes for so many decades, and I can’t even guess how many times I listened to Devil Goes Down to Georgia. Sometimes over and over till my mom turned him off.

Keeping going on Session 7. Slowly getting that index finger strong and straight. Found the secret that the finger shape for F and 4 finger open C is the same which makes that chord change nice. Maybe nobody talks like that and says 4 finger open C. Like Home On the Range and it’s a good one for learning to sing and play at the same time. I think one more week and it’s on to 5 string Barre chords.

That’s a good video @NeilES335 And very long..... Long.....
I bought a Fender Mustang GTX this week. I’ve been watching tons of videos and doing hours of research on amps. However, you never learn much till you do something yourself. I choose the Mustang because it gave me the chance to learn a lot for a reasonable price. Lots of modeled amps built in and all fully adjustable as the models on which they’re based. And effects, of course. While it’s just DSP, it sounds good enough I think to help me discover my sound. Maybe that will help keep me focused on my guitar.

I started session 7 last week. I’ve not quite got my open chord transitions as clean as I want yet and continue to work on them. It will take quite awhile to get that left index finger strong enough to play barre chords well. So I’m just working on the shapes and the exercises on that first page. Steve’s new workout series on barre chords was really good and is a great new companion to this session.

I’m glad you found a new home for these. I’ve been buying the series on Kindle. Not a great representation but good enough to read.

@Joao Peneda Nice post. I think you are being too hard on yourself. Life happens, and we never not Wharton’s fate will bring us next week. I think the main question is “Are you having fun learning and playing guitar?” I find guitar very hard to learn — I’m only starting session 8 as I continue to struggle with chord transitions. I’m having a great time, though!
I do think that completing L&M Guitar will let me do wonderful things. This isn’t the first instrument I’ve learned and having previewed the entire book, it’s phenomenal. But, completing all the sessions is secondary to enjoying the journey. Take your time, learn what you can when you can, and relax.
