Happy New Year! Just joined GT and like some of you, I used to play as a kid, now 50-something, I have started playing again. I'm part of an all Girl rock band called OBT2 (OddBall Take 2). It's been very challenging and fun! I too have arthritis problems in both hands, one of which I have had surgery on. It's been difficult re-learning how to play, and I am looking forward to Using Guitar Tricks to re-learn how to play!
