Hi all, After a few weeks of lurking I've signed up and this is My First Post here. I'm from The Netherlands, just moved from a city to a village and am enjoying practicing without disturbing the neighbours. Not that I've had complaints, my downstairs neighbour told me he could hear me getting better, that was good to hear because from my viewpoint I'm hardly getting forward because I keep bumping into my own limitations which is frustrating and blurs the more objective noticing of my progression at playing. I've only played guitar for a few years, had 1,5 years of classical guitar lessons and almost one year of flamenco guitar. and still going. I read somewhere that there are 10000 practice hours before you can consider yourself a real good guitarplayer so I'll be on stage by the time I have one foot in the grave LOL After trying out some soleares and a bit of rumba I'm into tangos now, I really like the alzapua parts and I'm trying to wiggle in a little embellishment which sounds so cool when my teacher plays it so I want to learn how to do that too. However I'm having major trouble with barré chords, my thumb starts getting shooting pains and my indexfinger just refuses to to what its told. So there, this should do it for now, what else can I say? I'm a new string junkie hence the name, not that I give in to my addiction all the time, but when I have new strings, I LOVE 'em. I buy the D'Addario Pro Arte hard tension, I find the lesser tension annoying to play, I might try the extra hard tension ones at one point but not in the near future. My guitar is a cheapass Juan Salvador 2C classical guitar but every guitarlesson my teacher laughs and says "it remains amazing what a big sound this little guitar has!" Greets, newstringjunkie
