Well, I've now been practicing daily for about 3 weeks, and things are really starting to click. I love it. The fingers are getting tougher, and they're getting longer (not really--just seems that way). My fingers are learning where to go, freeing my brain to look at the music I'm trying to play. I'm starting to figure out how to play a few things by ear. The fretboard is starting to make sense.
Just wanted to say thanks; this forum has been a lot of help.
Now I'm heading home to practice.
