This is awesome. I am glad You are doing this. I have a friend who has been after me to let him teach me to play the guitar. I want to, but am hesitant for several reasons. One, I'll have to lose my fingernails. Yeah..I keep them long..heh. Two, my fingers are mucho sensitive and I will have to learn how to not have them be such sensitive tools, but a bit more calloused. Three, I have very little time. BUT..methinks it will be worth it..if I can make myself practice(which is my downfall). I hope You keep it up and hear those classical strains flowing in record time. If anyone can do it You can.
