Some awesome and encouraging comments here since I last checked- thank you folks!

I particularly like JeffS65's note, especially the words about not focusing on mastery before trying something different. That's a good piece of advice which is sometimes easy to forget. And I've found, even with my limited time practicing, that the 'break' of trying something different sometimes has a magical side effect. I.e.: a few days later, I come back to whatever had me stuck and it is suddenly a lot easier.[br][br]I've been at this learning guitar thing for about six weeks now. Its slow, I get angry some times at my stupid fingers, but... I think I'm almost detecting progress ;)
