If this forum is a place where a newbie can ask what I’m sure would appear as ‘dumb’ questions, then I’m all in.


I purchased a Fender Player SSS and Fender LT50 about 10 days ago and I’m on Fundamentals I, Lesson 6.


Having studied the piano for ~10 years, my biggest challenge is my ‘piano brain’. The piano keys are logical. Chords are logical. The guitar strumming notes are anything but logical. They’re ‘upside down’ with the top note at the bottom. The notes do not seem to follow a logical pattern. And then there’s the fretboard!


But I love the tone of just ringing any note or strumming. I’m totally down for the challenge. It’s forcing a brain to learn totally new and difficult problems that keeps at least some of the little grey cells from going out to lunch.


My goal is to play some of the slow Pink Floyd tunes.
