Hi Jean!Great topic, Michelle! (Although it's not great that you're frustrated.). I think Neil probably came up with the best answer--that sometimes you just need some "work arounds."
I was having that trouble of putting the third finger over the fourth that Vanessa and Neil helped me with (and the problem started to correct itself quite quickly!). Now just for those big stretches in the second part. They're coming, but clumsy, but I know Sandy has some work arounds. Maybe I'll have to pick her brain.
I retreated a while ago on the second part of Romanza. The first part was easy enough, but I found myself becoming disoriented between reading the music and finding the right frets on the guitar. Maybe after Rosa May I'll give it another try.
But I loved seeing everyone's tales of their "Terrible Tunes." It makes me want to check them out to see what makes them so terrible.
Keep going, Michelle.
BTW- Why does Kevin call you "sis?" Is the answer the obvious?
Well I'm glad that me throwing my hands in the air has been beneficial for you. It definitely helps to share and our gurus absolutely know their stuff.
You probably should ask Kev about the sis thing. But, I can tell you that he's definitely been a big brother to me. He's encouraged and supported my playing in a bunch of ways. He's simply a sweetie and a hell of a guitar player.
