I agree. It makes lots of sense frustrating as it might be. Your hands are only as good as their weakest part. If you have a broken finger, your grip is not what it should be. In your case, the tendons/surgery affect your whole hand. Therapy is the only way you'll make any progress. It must be very hard to just all of the sudden stop using your hands. I can't even imagine what that's like. We're rooting for you Nela.

A customer of mine had  to have surgery to repair a torn hamstring. Her leg will be immobile for 6 weeks. It starts off in a cast bent at 90 degrees or more. Two weeks later it gets re-casted in a less of a bend. Then two more weeks, a re-casted again in less of a bend. After 6 weeks she can start therapy. A hamstring is not something you want to mess with.

That's a great frisbee dog right there!!!!! Is she pure Border Collie or a mix?

If you do say so yourself. Do you pat yourself on the back while you play? That would be an awesome talent!!!

Obviously we are all guessing because we don't know her. But I'm thinking some sort of learning issue also.

I don't know about everyone else, but I don't know tones and such. I know very few notes on the fretboard. I only know my chords by shape. So 5 years in, for me anyway, theory doesn't come up alot.

I love my Yamahas. I played a friends FG700S a few years ago and really liked it so I went looking for one. I came across an FG730S and snatched it up. I also have an FG Jr. It's a 3/4 size of the FG family. Can't go wrong with a Yami!!!!

But yeah, what Beamer said......

When it rains it pours, literally for you. It will all blow over. Look at all the things that have gone/are going right. Keep plugging along and remember who you lean on for support.

I've been "chopping" since I first learned to play. I thought it was cool and gives a little more feel. I have never broken a string doing it tho and I run 11's on all my 'tars.

I'm not a collector either but there is one that I would love to have. It's an upside down bi-plane. Anyone heard of this one?

I have a Yamaha FG junior that is pretty small. Plays nice just like my other Yammis. The Ibanez Daytripper is a smaller scale too. Haven't played the Ibanez tho.
