Guitar

[Jessica]

I've played guitar, mandolin, violin (fiddle), and ukulele for years.  The issue I'm having is my longer nails and the fret board.

I tried keeping some length on my left hand and it worked ok for basic open chords, but with other forms I had trouble fretting properly. Right hand is fine except when I finger pick  my nail polish cant take the abuse.
One thing you can try is open tuning, Dolly Parton does this and plays a lot of one finger barre chords.

I have the same issue with my nails, I have played the guitar on and off since I was 8, but these days my preference for longer nails gets in the way.

I love when someone plays the guitar, but I play badly. I tried different video lessons, probably only by hiring a tutor I can learn to play the guitar well.

I wish I'd taken it up instead of keyboard. It's a lot easier to carry about with you from place to place than a 300lb upright.
