Well, I have a grasp of how various things work, though I can only identify the notes of the C Major Scale on the fretboard and by moving the notes up or down, I can find the other Major Scales (I'll have to find a way to memorize the formula, so I can play the other scales more easily...). My biggest problem right now is actually strength, speed and dexterity in both hands (and precision for the right hand).

As of right now, I can almost fluently play the main riff from Aerosmith's Dream On (the simple riff that plays during the beginning of the intro and during the verses) but I can't play the end part of the intro so it sounds right, as well as the simple chord progressions in the Guitar Fundamentals course and House Of The Rising Son as taught in the GF2 course (a bit slow on the arpeggio-track, though) and a somewhat slow-paced pop-song called Unbreakable, though that also halts a bit at the end, due to the strange chord-shapes used.

I'm mainly trying to learn to play those three songs for now. I don't feel like I need too many songs to work on, at least in the beginning.
