i'm with you caponi. i've been playing a long time and i still sometimes have to think about which string i'm on. i still have to take time to figure out which notes i'm playing but over the years that time has shrunk. i think it was because i never focused on theory before because now that i see how valuable that information is and how it can improve your level of playing i seem to have hung onto more in the past two weeks than ten years. i'm actually looking forward to the next lesson.
