Hi all. I'm a newbie here and posted an intro on that thread. I've done a yr with a teacher but mostly tried self teaching with books, videos and dvd's. GT may be the incentive I need for a step by step guided progression as it's motivation to pick up my guitar everyday... but, I have a question about my guitar itself. I really love the rich sound of it, but wonder sometimes if it's just too big for me. I can form a number of chords except my dreaded F's and B's. I've used it for 7 yrs now and I've gotten used to it but sometimes it feels like I'm reaching over it. In the videos no one else seems to be doing that (unless everyone else is just way taller, I'm only 5'3"). I have a smaller one but if I pick that one up it feels like a toy to me and I miss the chords because they feel too cramped. Signing up today came with a promotion of the intro learner's guitar which I assume is smaller... Does it sound like a good thing to you, for me to re-adjust my learning to this smaller guitar, and will I be able to apply what I learn to mine when I pick it up? Thanks, Evelyn
