Im originally from Wylam just out side the Toon ! Im living in Iowa USA at the moment. I can still get "The one and only" so it is not so bad !
Can you play bar chords ?
Check out some of my lessons and instructors page (may be helpful).
One of the things that helped me out was getting hold of a song book (with chords and lyrics) by a band I liked and going from their. I borrowed a KISS song book from a friend but I don't tell many people about that as I have never been a huge kiss fan! It did teach me about strumming (making an approximation of the songs rhythm) and a bunch of new chords which was very helpful at the time.
Learning bar chords will also help a lot.
My instructors page and www.studiotrax.net for all things recording.
