It does sound tricky. You are one up on me since you can read the
music. I tend to work things out by ear and limit myself to songs
that I like and can do a decent job playing..  as in, there's a
LOT pf music I might like but I wouldn't insult the original
performer's by doing a poor job of it.   B)

Again though, I'm talking guitar and there are a lot of ways
to play a guitar, with a bar and multiple finger picks, or using
your left hand to for the chords and using a single or several
finger picks, and by playing bar chords up and down the neck
rather than using proper fingering to form what chords you
need mostly in the first 3 or 4 frets..

I am generally jusing a single pick (or finger) with an occasional
extra note thrown in. I think learning using bar chords is easier
but I never got into it. It may be easier but there's a certain
talent in getting clean sound with them as well.
