Hi Ken and welcome to GT!
Well he is right about a couple of things.. the "instructors and members are helpful, and the lessons are great on Guitar Tricks". Not sure about his comment regarding your choice of guitar. Each guitar, even guitars of the same model, have a unique quality to them and no guitar can be judged as "sucking" until you have at least played it yourself. If the guitar stays in tune then, at this stage, that is all that really matters.
Just one thing though.. if you make a mistake and want to change a message that you have already written, there is an EDIT button you can use on your message to save you re-typing it again, and duplicating the message again in the forums. :)
