An open letter to my chord hand

ebrian · Apr 16, 2009

Dear Chord Hand,

Lets pick up the pace a bit alright. The strumming hand is really showing you up. I mean, is it really that hard to jump from say, D to G within a reasonable amount of time? Seriously. I don't want to go to HR about this, but if it continues to be a problem we might have to schedule a meeting. I don't want that, and I'm sure you don't either.

Sincerely,
HQ

Since the strumming hand is doing so well.. Switch the responsibilities around and see what it can really do... :shaka:

It'll come. Really it will. Keep on practising is all you need to do.

And it is what you must do.

I remember when I first started playing guitar (early 1970s!) I had to use my strumming hand to physically grab my fretting fingers and shove them where they were supposed to be!

I've improved a little since then...

Maybe you should write this in Braille.

Ha! Good idea.

Thanks for the words of encouragement buddhu. I had to rant a bit after practicing for a while. Stupid chord hand...

I had a blind buddy who used to get copies of Playboy Magazine in Braille. No joke. The photos were the most interesting part for him, especially during the colder months' issues.

Ok, i made that last part up.
