48 here. I’ve struggled off and on to get good at guitar for years now. I broke my finger when I was 15 and it didn’t heal well. This makes guitar that much more difficult (it’s my left index finger). It has pushed me to give up on guitar and try bass in the past.

I’ve been on GT for about 9 months or so now and have improved. That being said it seems like the easier thing for me all things considered would be to pick the bass back up. Like a lot of you, I’m busy as hell and don’t have more than 30 minutes or so a day for guitar. That combined with a wonky finger that doesn’t bend or straighten all the way can get a bit discouraging. In contrast, I can play basslines with no issues other than lack of talent :)

Feel free to chime in. I’d love to hear what you guys would do if in my same boat.
