Thank you so much for putting this community together. The resources, free TABs, and the supportive environment here are truly inspiring. It feels good to be among people who share the same love for fingerstyle guitar. Lately, I’ve noticed something exciting in my own journey… I started blending my passion for guitar with YouTube, and honestly, it’s been an eye-opener. Not only has it pushed me to become more consistent and creative with my playing, but I’ve also begun to see some surprising results both in growth and even income. It made me realize that the same love we put into fingerstyle could also open doors on platforms like YouTube. 🎥✨ If anyone here has ever thought about sharing their guitar journey on YouTube or is curious how it can work alongside their playing feel free to message me. I’d be happy to share my experience

The other night, I was vegging out in front of the TV with my guitar in hand, thinking, “Hey, why not annoy my family with some fingerstyle?” Lucky for me my electric guitar isn’t loud enough to trigger an evacuation. Anyway...thumb on strings 5 and 6, index on 4, middle on 3, and ring finger on 2. Everything was going great… until my picking hand decided to cramp like a clown in a tiny car. } Does this happen to everyone? Should maybe do more finger stretching? Let me know!

Hi, my name is Izabela. I'm 49 years old and I'm from Poland. My primary goal on the guitar is to get back to a comfortable level after over 20 years of not touching the instrument. I'm not posting a picture, as I'm shy like that, but my current guitar is a Yamaha NTX3. Thank you for having me here. Izabela
