I have learned the basic open chords, basic travis picking, and am struggling to get bar chords down. I have the Gibson home study course, which is really nice but it seems like I will really slow my progress down if I go back and start learning to pick notes to sheet music.
BTW... I love this site! I decided to learn guitar about 3 years ago. My wife bought me one of the Esteban packages which came with a cheap acoustic and several videos. That lasted for about 3 months until I got too busy to keep up. A year ago this month I decided to give it another go. This time I am a lot more motivated! I practice an hour a day, every day. My biggest problem is that I tend to jump around too much. I am an extreme type "A" personality so I tend to get the basics of a skill down then move on to the next without really mastering it. I NEED STRUCTURE! Then I discovered Guitar Tricks. Voila... just what I was looking for. Now the challenge is forcing myself to go back and master the beginning fundamentals.
