1. From Tim Campbell – Check out “Axis of Awesome” for a humorous yet instructional video of the simplicity of some music…
2. From David LaFerney – sing with yourself
3. From Jim Merritt, George Berrill and Kingstumble – if your fingers are too cramped try a wider necked instrument.
4. From Alaina Spencer – a classical guitar has a wider neck AND softer, easier-on-the-fingers nylon strings
5. From Tom M and Mark Castelletti – try capoing up a few frets where the frets are closer together. Move the capo down as you progress. Mark suggests that you tune down as you capo up.
6. From Gortagnan – keep your fretting nails short.
7. From John Montgomery – Study with a good guitar instructor.
8. From Sunny’s Gadget Reviews – try something new, a new chord or scale, every day or week. Keep adding to that knowledge and skill set.
9. From Gary Fuller Sr. – for late night, considerate practice get an electric guitar. Unplugged of course.
