Hello!

Wow you described my journey perfectly "try hard, fail - try harder, fail, and then give up frustrated"!

I am 57 newly retired due to work slowdown trying to learn guitar and this time NOT give up and make it through. Like you I raced through Lisa's lessons with a mix of some songs on the beginner list and this far sore fingers tell the story of staying the course (drum strike ba'doom).

Admit to being instant gratification type so time will tell... Good luck to you hope we can virtually encourage one another via forum.
