Thanks, I'm currently learning the fret board and developing calluses. Concentrating on the diatonic scale, I'll figure out the pentatonic next. Fender apparently offers on line lessons free, I'll check that out too.

I have a long row to hoe before I can play Mary's songs, she doesn't do simple.

Torturing my guitars is the first thing I do when I get up, and the last thing I do before bed, and some in-between also.
