Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am trying so hard. It is hard sometimes and I have owned a guitar for years and never really taken it seriously. I used to pick it up and then give up after a day cos there was no improvment. But now i am older and know that perserverance is the key. I can play the intro to sweet child of mine, all of Mama said by metallica and most of hero of the day! But now I am gonna pretend I know nothing and start from scratch! But cheers again. Its nice to have support!
