Thanks, Susan, I appreciate that! I used to live in Ohio, still have friends and family there. Mostly Columbus and Dayton areas.

I am sorry to hear carpal tunnel is holding you back in your guitar journey. My wife fought that for a long while, still has some related issues. She recently tried Voltaren for an arthritic knee, but I'm not sure if it helped or not. I just know it was too expensive for us both to be using it. I'll ask and see what she thought of it, figure it out from there.

I found a set of lessons here that I must have missed earlier. Essentially, a few videos for how to approach it, the process of learning, taking notes, practicing. WIll watch those, then regroup and see what shakes out. I will also search for Chris's advice, as you suggested; end on a positive, motivate for next session. I may work on a specific melody or riff, as you did. Scales, to get the feel for them, too.

You may be onto something, here. I might be getting a little overwhelmed in the lessons and unfocused between rock and other styles, electric and acoustic. Another problem is in lacking a comfortable, dedicated practice space. The guitar, amp, headphones don't fit in the room with the computer. Even a laptop or tablet needs a space for videos, tab sheets and notebook need another. Maybe sorting that out first will make for more frequent, enjoyable practice sessions.

So, thanks, again. Stay safe with this crazy weather moving in this week!
