Hi everyone

Thanks to all of you who helped with my query.

It's now starting to make sense. Speaking as a beginner, it really does feel like having to learn a new language. But also learning a new language which involves maths and physical contortions at the same time!

Having said that, I'm addicted and just want to improve my playing. I went to a gig on Saturday night and was very close to the front of the stage. I don't know about the rest of you, but I always find myself transfixed on what the guitarist is doing - how they play certain chords, how do they fingerpick, what funny gizmo is that attached to the soundhole etc. I suppose I ought to get a life!

The guitar I covet at the moment is a small Martin (I think it's called a parlour guitar).
The ones I actually own are an old Yamaha on which I experiment with altered tunings, and a Canadian guitar made by Simon and Patrick Luthiers which I love to bits.

Oh well, enough about me. No doubt I'll be a regular poster on this forum.
Thanks again everyone.
