Good deal!

[quote=gabrieltello]Also, I am currently playing on an acoustic guitar. I've thought about the action being too high but I checked it and it appears about right. I can't help but think how much easier this could be on an electric guitar!

Glad you checked it. I think electric guitars are typically a little easier to play. :) Keep working on it!
