Hi Ron,

Congratulations on joining GuitarTricks and getting back to your desire to learn to play. It WILL happen!

And it is perfectly normal and totally to be expected - that we will feel like Elaine on the dance floor (this gave me a good 😂) at times, most especially in the beginning!

Don't forget, every one of the instructors here, and every skilled musician, each had their 'Elaine' periods. None of us were born knowing how to play the guitar! 

Take it real slow. Know that it takes time and LOTS OF REPETITION to learn a new physical skill - but once it begins to bake into your physical memory, then it becomes something you can count on, and build forward from. 

Slow and steady wins. Have fun! - Lisa
