Picking up the guitar again
-
The brand has a well-traveled history!
Yeah, maybe half an hour a day. Trying to get back to the piano as well.

Ok I'm in! I'm going to practice at least a half hour a day, too. Scales, chords and songs. I lost a lot but I don't think I'll have much problem getting better.
Piano is another issue--I never had it so learning new stuff is an issue. I recently got a piano teacher and was doing the proscribed Diabelli over and over and making the same mistakes over and over till my wife came downstairs (my wife's "office" is located right above the location of the piano) and closed the fallboard and said, "that's enough of that!"
But I'm in for the Coffee Guitar Club.

The past number of years every time I pick up the guitar or Dobro, the CTS starts to act up. Not so much on my picking hand but my left, fret board hand. Got so bad ten years ago that I couldn’t feel the Scheerhorn bar in my hand. Pretty hard to play lap Dobro when that happens. Not at all the case with the piano.

I have been so focused on piano that I have hardly played my guitars over the past 5 months. My callouses were so good that I can still slide up and down the neck and play any barre chord in any position. I need to start doing daily practice or I will pay the price. I have decided to sell a guitar or two. I just don't play all of them enough to justify keeping them.
I have learned 2.5 new Chopin pieces since November. The latest is the Op72. No1. Nocturne. Such a hauntingly beautiful and difficult piece.

Gemini comes through again. I don't know why I even bother with web searches anymore.
I’ve moved off of google searches almost completely. The exceptions are things that are faster there. Example, a quick F to C conversion - google comes back instantly, AI thinks a bit.
That said, these days the first thing Google shows you is what Gemini thinks about your search request, which is often helpful.

You folk have encouraged me to pick up my guitar again, but my fingers bend like a piano player if you know what I mean. But I'm determined to learn. Maybe a bit of this

jon you tease. Is that ten strings 🤪 my fingers and brain have enough to cope with four
Promised myself to learn when retired so no excuse, and even prepared by aquiring a few nice instruments. Here's the nicest being played by an American professional on his cd,
unBEATabLE Songs. Oh to play and compose arrangements like David:
