After three weeks I think I am doing OK. I'm playing for an hour most evenings and have worked up to lesson 4 "Simple Melodies". Each night I practice the simple chords and then move onto the simple blues riff, which instead of ending each time I loop around and play the same thing over and over for a couple of minutes. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I can sense I am getting much more comfortable moving my fingers around. I am adding "My Country Tis of Thee" to my routine, which again isn't perfect but I'm getting there. My biggest challenge right now seems to be consistency with my finger pressure on both hands. It might sound reasonable once I get that right. I have to say though, after waiting all these years to finally start learning, I'm having a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
