Hi Ian,

I might be one of the other two that Faith was refering to. I'm in Hooksett, NH, just outside of Manchester. Weird reading your post. I too started off almost a year ago using an Ibanez 20 that was loaned to me and now have my own Breedlove Discovery Acoustic. I am a beginner as well and concentrate mostly on acoustic stuff, strumming country and folk tunes and especially love fingerpicking. I have been studying Lisa's fingerpicking program and am up to level 2D. Trying to master the song "Water is Wide" which has been a struggle but it's getting there like all things. I love the acoustic sound of fingerpicking, but I also work my way into a few classic rock tunes via Caren, Doug, Anders and Mike.

Wherabouts in NH you from? We have another guy here from Plymouth and I have a sister who just signed up as well. After the pandemic I'd be up for getting all of us New Englanders together and if we can see Lisa play that would be great. Maybe she can put together an informal workshop for us.
