One of the great things about guitar is that the tuning of the strings gives us all our open notes, and so tells us (or most of us) what is easiest to play. I suppose one measure of virtuosity could be not having to lean on open strings to make it easier. I play bar chords, and I love weird open chords that would be hard to get for most notes, but I'm certain some players get those chords at other places on the neck. I'd have to capo it.

Heute ist Gloria Coates Geburtstag - der erste, den sie nicht mit uns zusammen feiern kann. Die großartige amerikanisch-deutsche #Komponistin ist im vergangenen Jahr am 19. August in ihrer Wahlheimat München mit 89 Jahren verstorben.

Evidently I am pre-level one. An unfretted strum would have never occurred to me. It would, though, help with my problem of stiff fingers. So, in just the latest few videos, I have learned that I am strumming wrong and I am playing an A-chord wrong. What's next?

"I will see you next time."
