Strumming My Pain

I'm teaching myself how to play the guitar. I've always wanted to learn and it's on my bucket list. Emmy received a guitar from my sister years ago as a Christmas gift so....why the hell not?

Most of what I do is self-taught. I still have lots of lessons to learn: piano, crocheting, drawing, etc. I'm sure I could benefit from an expert's advice but I'm still enjoying the process. I must say that my fingertips are sore as are my joints. I don't know what hand exercises other than practicing scales and chords will alleviate the pain.

Seems silly but I'm proud of myself for picking this up. Dr. Z will understand this. I've tried to eliminate all joy from my life as punishment so introducing something into my life? Woh.....feels weird but I'm going to keep at it.

Now back to my chords.
