Played guitar for 40 years - chords mainly, not a lot of picking. Then had a breakdown and about five years when I neither played nor sang. When I came to pick up the guitar again, I couldn't play it - chubby fingers had become slightly arthritic too. Went looking for something easier and found the autoharp. Holding down a chord with one finger really appealed to me. And I am now more musical on the harp than I ever was on guitar, would never have dreamed of doing a guitar solo but can solo on the autoharp.
