@grantinvanman the numbers … they’re like gibberish to me.

I think the real trick is understanding how to actually hold your fingers on the strings and how to hold onto that plectrum thingy.

I’m thinking about glueing it to my fingers to make it behave. It’s probably the result of an accident I had as a kid (I’ve got a nice 10 cm scar on my wrist … ). As a result the tips of my fingers are a bit numb.

Finding an actual teacher that has the patience and skill to make that part understandable is probably what I should be doing instead of looking at youtube videos of various folk claiming they can teach how to play.

Got to admit that the time I spent with Rocksmith and getting more than the occasional note to play was amazing. The difficulty spikes that would happen once it noticed you could hit the notes was annoying as fck though.
