Hi Chris,
Thanks for responding. I was just looking at some of your lessons. I do want to get more proficient in the blues, but also like older rock and also acoustic. I think I'll take a look at the visualizing tutorials you listed. That seems to be where I'm lacking. I know parts of the fretboard well, mostly the key of A, and can move around fairly well, but if the key is C or G, or E, I have to go 'wait a sec, where is that, oh yea, should be here', things like that I want to improve. on.
I'd say I'm probably an Intermediate, but have a long way to go and much to learn.
Thanks
Michael
