COMPLETE newbie an started the core lessons track. I am wondering how fast/quickly I should progress with the lessons and wondering if there is any way to get feedback on how I am doing? Right now everything has been just about the guitar, reading tabs, etc. No real playing. Been doing just a chapter a night. Trying to take it slow and do a little each evening is my goal. My most recent lesson we just learned the C & G chords. Was hoping for explicit homework assignment kind of thing, but have not gotten any (yet). Was also wondering if there was any way to do a skype thing or something for somone to give me feedback as I progress (hopefully). Also wondering what/how I should have my amp set? I don't know anything about all of its knobs/controls.

fyi- My setup is a Squier Bullet Strat w/ a Peavey Transtube 258EFX (using headphones).

Thanks,
Jason
