Dear Kizzum @KSM
I love nasty guitar but I don't play. Kind of like I love football but I stopped playing when I was 13 when the boys got too big. Since I'm now self-employed and plenty of extra time, I'm trying to learn the mechanics of guitar. Kind of my own guitar appreciation course. I just got learned on Drop D by Rick Beato. Anything you could suggest? Or I could take up Spanish instead
P.S. Notice the pics of Houston, Tx are always at night. As long as the electricity is working
Lily,
Bart is a fantastic guitarist, you could have asked him. But that's fine - were here now and I shall reply to you as best I can at this moment. I am sleepy, you see.
@TigerLily If you are serious and I think you are - I applaud you (

) Starting with a drop D is not the way to begin your journey. Start with standard tuning and simple chords like A, E, D - G, F, C and you'll branch out from there. In your search engine type in A, E, D, chord progression.
You are "petite" (your word) so I am willing to bet that you'll never hit the stretch of the Lightning Strikes riff. It is a beauty for sure. This guy has to sit down to compensate for his short chubby fingers. King George would play it in a standing crouch. You will see the stretch in the main riff.
PS. When I was self employed I didn't have ANY free time until eight years after I started. You must be very good at what you do.
