That is the book I the posted chord illustrations from. Whose name did I notice on the cover just now? Mel Bay.

I thought perhaps I was struggling so much because my hands are too small or something (since I struggle to reach strings.) Then Erika pointed out that children play so small hands was not it. Plus I compared my hands with several people and they seem to be pretty normal sized. <BR/><BR/>Melissa - Thanks! <BR/><BR/>Kay - You mean Lego's have some purpose OTHER than crippling me when I step on them barefoot at 3:00 AM? I'll be dogged!<BR/><BR/>Cecily - I hear ya. It's a good thing men master doing things one handed at an early age or I would have really been in trouble! <BR/><BR/>Tanya - Ha! You know, yesterday I tried just doing some "lead guitar" from memory, just trying to duplicate what I heard. I can do that! (not well yet of course!) I can handle one or two strings it's the chords that are killing me. I am getting better though. I can change positions and do two cords in under a minute now! :)NerdyRedneck Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197976874612713015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957327370323163720.post-60433569814686770422007-11-26T10:24:00.000-08:002007-11-26T10:24:00.000-08:00You can do it.
