What a lame ass segue into an informercial post to try and sell software. "Registered User" status.. no surprise there. Gee, thanks songsturgeon3.

Sierramoon, there's nothing wrong with that approach at all, I sometimes do that myself. The only key thing that I learned the hard way is that as you encounter new chords, maybe some changes or fingerpicking patterns that may be tricky, its important to divide & conquer. So I make sure I have the chords down pat, the changes smooth, and the fingerpicking mechanics correct before I try to bring them all together to actually "make music" or play a song. I used to try and push through, learning all at the same time, figuring that my chords would get smoother with time. I found it took a lot longer to get the chords down.

Christopher covers this idea of getting the chords down first before you make music really clearly in GF1, and its sage advice.

Oh, and I also make sure I wash my hands before I play. I use Dove soap. I find Dove soap leaves my skin feeling 32% more revitalized than the leading brand, and leaves a fresh scent on my guitar after practice. Yes, Dove soap works very well for me and I would recommend it to friends, family members and any guitarists looking for an extra fresh session.
