Hello and welcome to you both.
Grab a doggie blanket and bed, a squeaky too if you want, and make yourselves at home.

70 year old from San Antonio. Been playing for about 2 months now. Discovered Jusinguitar after about a week and a half. Tried another but was jusr one chord after another that I wasn’t really learning. I am starting module 5 of level one. Very slow. I can fake it through about a half a dozen songs but not really playing them well yet. Not been able to play the last 3 days or so due to trauma in my index finger from strumming. Anyone else getvthat?

Welcome, Greg!
Man, it’s hard to remember 3 years ago, lol, I even checked my Learning Log and didn’t find anything early in my cough career, but I do remember at one point getting tendonitis in my strumming elbow.
Are you using a pick? I can imagine that problem happening to me if I wasn’t using one. If you are using a pick, maybe you’re just holding onto it with a death grip?

Thanks for all the welcome messages. Yes I am using a pic.it is tge vibration from strumming thatvis making my finger numb, especially under the fingernail. I am in lesson 1 module 5 learning Eleanor Rigby. It is one of the easier ones I have been trying to learn. I about have the chord progessions down.

I’ve not attempted to read much of this thread, given it’s rather spectacular size. But I thought this video of a gentleman explaining how he was able to apply neuroplasticity techniques to address his 60+ years of stuttering might be some inspiration. Old dogs definitely can learn new tricks, although some dedication to the goal might be required.
