Welcome to Guitar Tricks.. If you can swing the cost of the full membership, you might want to take a look through at everything. Even hang on to your teacher if you can afford that.. You may find commond ground through Guitar Tricks.
Anytime you need clarification you can ask the instructors in here. Work with the time that fits you.. Or ask thru open forums..
BTW, I was born and raised in Ma.. Berkshire County.
Good luck on your guitar endeavor..
