Thanks William!

I'm going to look into your suggestions. I actually find the play alongs in the beginner level here to be very good considering the technical limitations but I still feel like I need songs I love to really keep going. I'm in the difficult position now of being such a beginner that learning any song is quite a problem though.

I'm going to look into your suggestions and what you've tried, so thanks!

Funny that we are in almost the same place in this. I'm going to try and catch up to you!

I find the instruction here is excellent and I'm really amazed at how well thought out the intro lessons are. I'm a teacher of other things (not music of course) and I'm pretty awed at how well done the lessons are regardless of any interest in guitar.

I've actually found a song here to work on for now-- the opening to Roundabout by Yes. Even though the song has four or five red guitars of difficulty, I think the intro is learnable in slow motion for a beginner and the composition is super inspiring. It's also in free time so that's easier.

Good luck on your journey!
