I’ve ran into a road block in my training. I need to play a chord that involves my pinky finger. Unfortunately, I haven’t used my pinky at all and have zero calluses. I tried using it but it hurts pretty bad. Any tips? I’m gonna do 10-20sec holds with my pinky on each string but man it hurts a lot.

Hey Nailiens! I'm curious, do you tend to play guitar while sitting or standing? I'd say I tend to play sitting, but I actually prefer to stand when I have the choice. I recently put a strap on my primary acoustic and have the feeling I'm gonna be having a lot more standing/walking practice sessions 😆

Sorry in advance! I know people ask this sort of thing this all the time 😅 I got my first acoustic 🎉I love it but it is definitely harder to play than electric. It feels okay at the low frets but, at fret 12 is this a normal amount of action? The bridge is a little bit flatter than the 9.5" curve you would expect. I am planning to put on the D'addario light strings, and am wondering if I should do anything to the bridge, like sanding or even replacing it?

So, I requested membership and that came through. Then I filled out my introductory post. Then I checked the boxes (in this case, circles) for "Welcome! Start here". 😊 But I still don't have access to the lessons and tabs under the Classroom category. What hoop do I have to jump through to get that? 🤔 MG 😀

Anyone know how to fix this sound coming from my amp? She was thrifted so I assume it’s because of that. Does anyone know a quick tip to fix till I can get a new better one? I already turned the aux cord around, and cleaned it. I tightened my capo and tuned my guitar. I also lowered bass, gain, and treble, but the sound persists. It only occurs when I pick the 3rd string, not sure why only that one. Any tips will be appreciated.
