I guess the best place to start? I tried learning a few more hard complex ones and ended up just making my untrained tendons saw

What vitamin d supplements do you guys take? Do we need to be careful of a specific type, form or quantity?

After a few years of noodling and random, unfocused or untracked practice, I've started tracking and taking practice seriously. Progress has sped up so much and I'm loving it, but 27 days in, 35 ish total hours of practice, my fretting hand is starting to feel a bit stiff and maybe very slightly painful below my knuckles playing certain chords.

Where did I go wrong here? Should I have taken a full break sooner? I didn't think I was going that hard, but maybe I went too hard too fast?

I'm hoping I can fix whatever this is just from a day or two off - it doesn't seem injured injured, but seems like if I push past the stage its in now, it might be.

I also noticed with one particular measure that involves some back and forth and stretching, I'm getting a very slight weird neurological-like feeling in my pinky even when its not being moved - again, think I've been overdoing this - or that my hand is just pretty exhausted.

The way I've been practicing is in bursts, so like 5, 10, 15, or 20 min bursts usually throughout the day.

I guess I should be stoked that I've actually even learnt the ability to sing and play at the same time full stop, as a couple of years ago that seemed impossible. The only thing is that its so rare I like hearing myself when recording. I know this is pretty normal but how do you get better / more confident vocally while playing? If so, how long does the grind go on for? Is it just a case of getting so comfortable playing the guitar parts that you can really focus on the singing?
