I had the same problem for a long time, but I bought one of the those 'gripper' hand strengthening things, i just use it while watching TV and it seems to have worked for me.
Like Roger, I don't think you should go around squeezing ferrets!!

Re: Martin or Taylor (24 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi Patrick, I have both a Martin and a Taylor, it really depends on what I am trying to play as to which I prefer, the Taylor sounds best for some and the Martin for others. If I had to choose between them, it would be a very tough choice but I think I would keep the Martin.
Incidently, I bought the Martin 'on-line' because it was a bit cheaper, when I got it I was so bitterly disappointed in it. It sounded rubbish. It wasn't until I had a brilliant local shop set it up for me properly that I grew to like it.

Hello every one
ok it's been six months since I picked up the guitar and I can play a few chords and some strumming patterns
not so clean some times. the thing is that until now I only can play a few ballads not so well , like: Knocking on heavens door .and house of the rising sun . it's this normal?
other thing is that I cant sing, I sing worst than an asmatic goose
I can't believe that when I was a kid a used to sing in the school chorus:-(any ways the singing it's another story:-)
thanks in advance for reading my post
pardon mi english since it's my second language:-) if you can play some ballads after just 6 months you are doing good!! if it was so easy to play a guitar everyone would be doing it - wouldn't they?
=================================================
wish you all the best

Topic: strumming without a pick (11 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I am not very happy with the sound I get strumming without a pick. I like the mellowness of strumming without a pick but find I keep hitting the odd string too hard. How does everyone else strum without a pick??

Re: What kind of guitar do you have? (240 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have had a Taylor big baby for some time and I think it is absolutely brilliant, I have also just bought a Martin DM (like two days ago) and so far I am not that impressed with it. I know I should have tried before I bought but nobody local had one ( I had been told they are good) so I bought one online. It may be that I just need to get used to it.

I have been playing for around 8 months now and am still haviing trouble with Barre chords, I can form the chord OK, but when it comes to changing chords whilst playing I can either change with no interuption of strumming but a duff chord or I can just miss a strum or two and get a clean chord - which is the best way to go? should I practice quick change or clean chord?
