Finding Her Strength Through Strings
Kamelah’s guitar lessons in Fort Worth are more than just music classes. They’re part of her way of managing the physical and emotional weight of chronic conditions like arthritis and lupus. With her instructor McKinley, every lesson is built around what her body can do that day. Instead of pushing through discomfort, they adapt, moving chords higher on the fretboard, shifting hand positions, and easing pressure where needed. Fort Worth, known to many as Cowtown, has long stood for resilience. Kamelah’s journey feels like a quiet echo of that cowboy grit, strong, steady, and determined even when things get hard.
Turning Pain Into Power Chords
In a recent lesson, Kamelah worked on E minor and A minor chords, with transitions adjusted to reduce hand strain. McKinley introduced the E minor pentatonic scale and tailored each movement to accommodate her joints. By lesson two, they added wrist positioning adjustments, explored power chords like E5 and B5, and practiced progressions from a Japanese song that spoke to Kamelah emotionally. For someone navigating both the highs and lows of chronic pain, these chords aren't just notes on a page. They're a form of expression, giving her the tools to say things words sometimes can't. It's fitting that in a city shaped by cowhands and hard days, music becomes her way of holding on and pushing forward.
Carrying the Spirit of Cowtown Into Each Song
Fort Worth’s Stockyards might be filled with echoes of old Western songs and rodeo announcers, but for Kamelah, the city’s musical spirit is alive in every small victory, like nailing a clean transition or fretting a new chord shape without strain. Her lesson with McKinley touched on fretboard navigation using dot inlays, introduced the spider exercise for dexterity, and broke down hammer-ons and finger placement with care. What might seem like basic technique for others becomes a real achievement for her. That spirit of doing what you can with what you have, no matter the challenge, runs deep in Fort Worth. Kamelah’s music, quiet, intentional, and full of effort, feels like it belongs here.
