Dear Guitarists,

Have been enjoying this thread.

Any suggestions for someone who played guitar for accompaniment for 20 years, followed by a 15 year period of near-abstinence, now struggling with the effects of time, arthritis, and medicine to "get it back" ? Really missed my old 3/4 size Martin, finally had the neck repaired. Find the spirit willing, flesh painfully weak, esp. thumbs. Exercises? Bright ideas?

Thanks to all,

Shula
