RE: New guitar just arrived in the mail !

in OCD3 years ago

beautiful guitar. Good luck with it. I love the blues and fingerstyle as well. So much great stuff online and on YouTube. I've been picking up a few book on Amazon too.

I'm currently working on "Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar" by Arnie Berle and Mark Galbo

Great introduction to fingerstyle blues IMHO.

Enjoy the new guitar! It's a beauty!

Nice, I have a whole YouTube playlist bookmarked, mostly basic technique style stuff but a few songs I would like to learn as well. My biggest issue is I need to toughen up my fingertips because after less than an hour of playing the left fret hand gets really sore lol. Best of luck with your blues ✌️

It takes time to toughen up your fingertips. I just started playing again last year, after a 20 year break. For me it was my fingertips and also my arm strength or hand strength when making chord shapes. That's really taking a long time to come back.
