First off. This site is great. I became a full member on day one of reading through this site. I'm 42 yrs old and just got a guitar, through encouragement of my wife, she bought it for me as a Christmas present.:) I've always wanted to play and now that the kids are older I have the time and dedication. I've been practicing every day for at least 45 mins, fingers are killing me, but I heard this will pass. I have some beginners books, plus with this site and I'm taking some lessons starting next week, just to make sure I'm on the right track. My quesiton is this: Is there any order to learning ? IOW, do you start with cords or notes. Every book is different in this area. My preference is Classic Rock, Skinnard, VH, Boston and country. I love the classic rock unplugged, so with that said, I decided on an acoustic guitar and will later move to an electric acoustic. Anyway sorry for rambling on.
