Hi @Gord001 , True confessions: I have been at this solidly and faithfully for coming up on six years and I still get lost on the E A D strings. I have the GBE strings nailed down, so much so that I am playing intuitively on them 70% of the time but I still get lost and crash and burn. The good news, the recovery is so much faster now and I have been told by loved ones they can’t tell. I have very little musical aptitude (naturally) so for me it has been repetition, repetition, repetition. I like @Michael-K73 ‘s idea of using the tab sheets but I never figured that out either so I got stuck with the only thing that worked for me, repetition over time. I initially balked at the idea and became frustrated by the time element but I learned to let go of that and focus on the joy of the sound and the touch of the strings and that has led me to becoming the player I have always wanted to be. Don’t give up, find the joy in the ride.
