Hey Charley, nice to hear from you again. I know that Carpel Tunnel syndrom. One of my students had that and in fact it leaded to a surgery and as far as I know all is fine again now. But I haven't seen him for like 2 or 3 years. 60 years ? Well thats some time - yes it's important to do things right and stay in a relaxed position - specially when you passed your 20's then it gets more and more important that you have a proper playing technique to reduce all stress and tension from your hands. If enough people really did for the certificates I would set up the thing. It's quiet a lot of work so I first wanted to hear opinions.

Hoi Hanspeter Is English the common language in this guitar club, for a better understanding for all ? You are a musician, a genuine professional, I like your work. About your request for our opinions: IF I would be that far that I could play one song on guitar, I surely would join that test program. But my knowledge in this instrument is near zero 😔 My love for guitar and piano music is real, but... I never ever started any guitar lessons. In 1986 I bought a 70 dollar guitar (in Germany) and since then it survived many home / place movings and got dusty, but not rusty. Deep in my heart I never gave up on my vision to start playing guitar one day. Never had the right leisure or time to start, but as some things have changed, NOW I have time 🙏 So I want to show up here sooner or later, I think, no later than June, but I have to pass some exams until end of May. Your willingness and time assumed, I would start online lessons via Skype with your help. It is time to do the better things in life. You can train absolute beginners, I am convinced of that. For the Guitar Certificate you can ask me 1 year later 😂 Blessings Marion

Greetings HP! Well, I have been absent for some time. Some 6 months ago my hands went numb. It's taken 6 months to be scheduled for surgery. Dr Kim is the Best Hand surgeon in the state and tells me I will make a full recovery. I have Sevier Carpel Tunnel in both Wrists. Dr Kim says it's common in long time Guitar Players who do not pay attention to the way they are holding they hands when playing. So I have gone back to the beginning and studying Music and Guitar Theory. Hands off. this has been good for me as far as that goes. After my surgery in the next month I will have to start from scratch (will kinda I guess I did play for 60 years) with my hands in position as to not re create this problem and stay healthy into my 90's like Les Paul and BB King. We can play into old age... It is so important to do it right. I would love to receive a certificate and work hard again to be a good player. Being with you for over 12 years has helped me immensely though I am usually in the background. I would really like to be more involved, everyday, and commit to being the best player I can be... and I know I can... It's what I have lived for all my life... Thanks HP... Talk soon!
