Thanks to all the great suggestions and words of encouragement. I didn’t think this would be a cake walk but I guess I underestimated the difficulty. I’m used to using my hands and sometimes having my fingers in strange positions (I’m a veterinarian and do a lot of surgery) but trying to straddle my fingers across the frets has been a lot more difficult than I was expecting.

I’m going to stick with it, do the lessons each day, and then see where I am in a few months. I’ll try not to get frustrated as I have been these first 2 weeks.

Thanks again to all who replied.
