I decided to spend alot of time learning finger picking before I get involved in chords. It seems to me that it will make my fingers and hands more coordinated and less clumsy so that when I start with chords it will be pretty easy. I like to start with the harder stuff.
The problem is I have these small hands and thick fingers so finger placement is a tough one.
However thick fingers actually make my flute playing a bit easier.

It seems to me I have a easier go finger picking rather than chord transitioning. (cursed barre chords) I attiubute it to my giant hands but it's likely due to lack of focus & motivation to mature as a player.

I can sing and drum and play the gitter. I can hold a steady one drop on the drum kit, but I love hand drums like djimbes and binghi drums. I can't really finger pick the guitar but I can play chords and sing all my favorite songs!

I can play a little guitar. Though it tends to hurt my hands and fingers. I love to play hand drums. Although it isn't very fun by yourself. I used to play the viola but that was a long time ago.

1st off, I very rarely watch TV, I do enjoy watching sports but otherwise I can do without it, 2nd, I'm sure there are people out there living without everything, I have a hard time believing there in such good shape though. Living in the wild without modern day stuff is a hard life. I lived in a tent in the wyoming mountains for one week in november, that was hard enough. Can't imagine what january and febuary are like
