Hello everyone, new to the site and just finsihed a skim of Fundamentals I & II. Wasn't able to take it all in cause I'm anxious to get started with the meat and potatoes, but I'm sure I'll go back for reviews, especially on reading music (tho I didn't see any videos for that segment).

I've been playing acoustic rhythm/"hunt-peck" type picking and lead for some 30-odd years, but never did get any good (all solo lessons by ear and trial and error stuff), but I'm ready to start the actual learning-it-the-right-way process; hence my moniker: 'learninganew'.

Classic Country, some new Country, but not much. Really kinda into Bobby Howe's stuff. But I also wanna do some NEW stuff in the Country/Rock/Blues genre, ala Eagles, Clapton, Buffet, etc., so not sure where I'm gonna start.

Chris, you're pretty amazing buddy; enjoyed your lessons.

Currently using a low-end Epiphone (abt $150), and may need some tips on new strings, setup, etc.
