I tried to learn guitar a couple of years ago. I wanted to learn something which required me to use my fingers differently than on a keyboard. But, as someone in their 50s with a lifetime of working on software I found it practically impossible to get my fingers to curve the way they needed to for the guitar. The physical pain eventually made me give up. If anyone has any tips to work around this limitation will be great to hear
I’ve never understood why the ability to play music is still locked away behind such difficult, even painful ‘user interfaces’ of traditional instruments.
Why don’t we have more beginner-friendly and ergonomic instruments? Is it just because they’re seen as ‘cheating’?
