Thanks Dave, I'm tryin' hard to make up for lost time and i try to make the best most efficient use of my time, so usually 2hrs is the minimum by a long shot. My wife had to come out of due to health ressons, so i'm working lots to keep afloat. I don't know how to work any harder at this, and i will go the more individual lesson approach if we can get past our current hardships and see the real benefit of private lessons. I am desparate to reach my current goals though and will figure it out Lookin' for my next Beatles tune then i'll move to something else.......Thanks Again D
