Hi and welcome to another newbie. I as well am a 51 year-old beginner to the guitar, took it in high school (way) back in 1982, nothing since then and remeber nothing either.

I purchased a Yamaha Pacifica Gigmaker bundle with the PAC012, and love it and Lisa's Beginner Lessons as well. Been working on them since mid-December, still finishing up the Beinner Lessons 1, Part 2 - simple chords, and am finding like you that practice is key, and patience with chord changes is so true ;-)
