Get this under your belt and learning anything else to do with the guitar or anything musical will become much clearer and a lot easier to understand.
If there are any aspects that I have not been clear on then please either leave a comment here or feel free to comment in the forum and I, or another member of the forum will be happy to assist you.

Just a quick note to say that I am now offering private guitar lessons in the Wimborne / Corfe Mullen area of Dorset - Lessons are 45 minutes to one hour and I teach both electric and acoustic guitar. Rates currently are £15 per hour
