Hey Lisa, I used the 'First Noel' lesson this holiday season. Ok, I did do a little alteration to better fit my wife's (wonderful) voice and changed the strumming pattern to fit me....but the tutorial was great to get me started.

We were going to do a song for a church Christmas concert but alas, family and scheduling got in the way...So we will perform it for family.

...I did sit in with the church band during a practice...been soooooo long since I played with others. Was kinda fun.

Side note, I learned that the more complex a pattern or chord choice is, the easier it is for me. Ask me to strum a simple G-D-C and I seems to fall apart...(gets out the metronome...)

Thanks Lisa! It was very useful in getting the ball rolling and I recommend it.
