@OhWowMan , I guess it’s all about what you are looking for. You are probably better than you think. I would recommend listening to some of the songs played in the Forum. Usually you can watch how they are playing the guitar, giving you a better idea of how to get the strumming style right. But, I like your idea of having an instructor. You can’t go wrong with one on one instruction. He (or she) might be able to help you figure out just what you want to do. Strumming, Fingerpicking, flat picking, etc. It would make you play in front of a real live person, which to me is the biggest step of all. Good Luck.
