Sounds like there are quite a few guitar pickers here in North Carolina. Thanks to all for your help and advise. Great site and forum with a lot of knowledgeable musicians.

Don't worry about your fingers loosening (?) off. It'll happen and you won't even know it. There are a few of us on the forum who have come back to playing after a long lay-off. I think it's been much more enjoyable this time around. Maybe that's down to Chordie and just the sheer enjoyment of playing for fun. Enjoy it, your grandson will now see you as a guitar hero. Brilliant.
Yea, they get better each day I play. I find playing to be quite relaxing.
I get a kick out of jamming with my grandson Jake. He can read the actual sheet music and pick every note without a miss. I'm impressed to say the least.

Hello Chordies,
This is a great forum and web site for old guys like me learning to play the guitar all over again. Its been nearly 40 years since I played. My 8 year old grandson is taking guitar lessons so I felt this would be a good excuse to buy a guitar and start playing again.
What I have discovered is that my fingers are not as agile as they use to be so I am retraining my mind and coordination.
Does anyone have any suggestions for finger exercises that may help?
Thanks,
Darrell
