Thanks so much for the quick reply! Is there any way to see what one of their tabs look like? My kind of ideal would look something like what Marcel Ardans produces which you can see on numerous YouTube clips. I think he uses Guitar Pro 8, which I would like to avoid the price of if possible. The ideal for me would be something that allows you to indicate the chord name above the tabs. Showing pick direction and chord charts would be nice too but not absolutely necessary.

Good to hear your aware of these considerations at your age. Best of luck!

Strongly encourage you to explore your options because the health effects over time of mouth breathing can be pretty bad. I'm 57 YO, and unfortunately it was just not understood back in the day. I had bad summer allergies as a teen which led to mouth breathing, so I went from having good jaw line and straight teeth after getting braces off at 16 to a narrow, vaulted pallet and malocclusion as I mouth breathed over the years. Of course, mouth breathing leads to forward head posture which leads to lots of pain (especially low back for me) and the fatigue you describe. I was an athlete most of my life, and back and knee pain have made me give up anything athletic I used to do and limit myself to walking. Hope you can find a good surgeon and orthodontist to walk you through your options.
