    To summarize the 3 previous posters: Be patient.

    To summarize Tony: Its a journey, not a destination.

    So relax, keep it fun, and bask in the enjoyment of the journey that awaits you.

    I hear you kd61698gmail-com. I am not ‘worried’ about missing a lesson, but some of them resonate and I want to go back to them. Here is the secret: hit the ‘heart’ button. That will save it to your loved list and you can go back to your favorite lessons. I also make sure to print my favorites so I can cycle through them throughout the day or during weekends.

    Keep Strummin’!

    Moose408 and jumpinjeff hit the nail on the head! Two additions:

    1. Make sure the guitar is sitting flat on your leg. I tend to tip it back towards me so I can see the strings. This tip also rotates the frets away from your fingers. Get that guitar flat!

    2. Try a classical guitar. They have wider necks. 😉

    That was great. I really liked the percussion and low E action. I smiled for the entire performance!

    It has definitely been frustrating having the FW pages online but not able to sign up. It appears that those who are already in the FW program can now access the new version. I want to join and just received an email stating that those joining for the first time should be able to on Monday. I will be ready to start on Monday!
