Since my last post I have spent some time getting more comfortable with Gloria by the Lumineers, however on Sunday (the 13th) I injured my left ring finger which has set back my playing.  Despite this obstacle I have still been able to find a way to practice and have been working on the strumming pattern as this only requires my right hand.  This time to focus exclusively on strumming is something I definitely needed and while I don’t feel ready to sing along yet I feel like I am getting to close to that goal.  Luckily my finger has been starting to heal so I should be back to playing properly this weekend.  I look forward to being able to play properly again and hopefully with my next post I will be able to share more progress.
