jang, it took me a few months to get basic chord transitions down, but that's because I rarely practiced them. I was all about lead guitar and still am!

Ha,, I bet the hand is pretty sore after that then. Hey man, I watched a video you posted where you did a Black Sabbath song (if I recall right) and well done!

I'm just going to work through GF1 and GF2, get all the fundamentals down, and then delve into the lead stuff too. By that time I'm looking to be the owner of a Gibson Les Paul. Eventually a Fender strat to add to the mix as well.
