It looks as if you are already subscribed to this list.
Thanks for signing up previously, and thanks for being so interested that you signed up again.
It could be because on one page you saw an offer for TABS and on another page saw a blog signup.
These things happen.
No problem, I am happy to have you on board – and don’t worry you will not get double email.

I haven’t been receiving e mails lately. Just curious if you have my current e mail address.
Previously it ended with .ca but now has been changed to .com
Everything else remains the same.
Thanks Adam (from one of your loyal fans)

I stopped playing the guitar 50 years ago because I got married and had to move about as a news writer. Now that I’m retired, my wife bought me an acoustic guitar, but to my horror, when I started to play it, my fingers hurt like hell. It’s been 3 months now trying to build callouses, but to no avail. Age has replaced my finger tip skin with onion skin. I bought softer strings, lowered my guitar tuning from E to C and my fingers still hurt. I never played professionally but I played chords and sang for friends and family when I was still full of piss and vinegar. My daughter bought me a keyboard when she found that I was having trouble playing the guitar. But I just love the sound of music coming from guitar strings. And when I accidentally came upon your rendering of The Girl From Ipanema, I vowed that I would donate my left testes to play half as well as you do. Do you think my picking finger days are over? I really need your honest take on this, Adam.

Nin, hey man – well first off, I work really hard at my playing so when you hear a youtube take, that’s usually take 35 , which I find barely passable!
My suggestion is this ….if your guitar is a steel string, GET A NYLON STRING GUITAR! Way easier on the fingers. I may in fact switch also 🙂
2nd, please go take a few lessons. If you are squeezing too hard (I often do) you need an outside coach to help you & show you a few tricks. Well worth the dough.
By the way, I have an online school 🙂 https://studywithadam.com – that said, an in- person lesson would be a great idea.
All the best – AR
