Yes! As long as that "time" involves practice. :cool-new:

As you get old your fingers get crooked so you have to adjust your aim. And, when your pinkie knuckles lock up on you, you can't always go from the E to the B. Finger exercises help. Just started working on hammers and pulls, my next mountain to climb. I close my eyes when I'm trying to concentrate on lyrics and structure. I also practice standing up and walking around sometimes and make believe I'm BB King. Since I'm all alone when I practice, I don't mind making a fool of myself. Of course I do that in public enough too. S'all good. :biggrin-new:

What happens to me sometimes with longer gigs is my left hand starts to cramp during that last set.
