hey, wish i knew how to answer everyone individually and specific to points you all made as you do to me, but am i ever relieved to hear i should hold off on this and that it will naturally come up in this program! i will have a look at the blues link you sent me Christopher. I did purchase the D'addario strings as per suggested, and thanks Faith for the encouragement that i will get this! I just learned to make the F Chord and i thoughts months ago when seeing it, i never would be able to. so one step at a time, not jump up a flight all at once! Thanks again
