Thanks to all!!! i picked up my “new” Fender , blue slated, acoustic guitar today. Stan, I checked the frets and they are slanted off so I can’t feel them on the sides. Bill, I also rechecked for good seals on all sides. Jonathan, store person, hooked it up to am amp and it just sounded wonderful! My dream would be to play like that somewhere, someday. It fits better on my lap, too, so I am really stoked! You’re right Loraine!
As always thanks to all of you for your helpful support!

Yes, I agree. My brain is struggling w/ all the ‘duties’ of the fingers on both hands. Coordination to the extreme. LOL, yes, belly, head, simultaneously.

Can one reply to oneself? I just have to share….
Finished Lesson 2, Hi E, D & Lo E. I never looked at the tabular! I just recite the musical alphabet and know right where to go on the fret bar. Makes so much sense and I understand….
Feeling good!!🤩

I thought I was familiar w/ chord shapes, but apparently only in the key of C, at least I guess that is the key they are in. I took the barre class that Tony offers a while back. I tried playing an A-shaped barre chord with index barring 3rd fret, but that’s not a C chord, which, from my understanding, is B/1st fret, D/2nd fret, & A/3rd fret. So I DO understand that I’m missing some cognitive theory here and will get there eventually. Thanks for your help! I WILL get it eventually.

OK, so the same chord doesn’t mean the fingers have the same shape when it moves up or down the fretboard. That helps. Thanks!
I guess I’m not understanding my ‘guitar progressions’ chart because a C chord, in key of C, is the same placement on the fretboard as a C chord, in key of G.

Thanks! I plan on taking Fretboard Wizard but am currently on Fretboard Navigation.

I get it!!! Thanks Stan S.

Thanks Loraine! It caught my eye and I had an awful time staying calm and ‘disinterested.’ I’m going to check the electronics and frets this week.

Thanks! Yes, I checked it on google and Guitar Center was selling it for less than a new one. I checked it for nicks, etc., all looked great. Checked the space from fretboard and strings and I thought it was great as well. I’ll check to see if frets are sticking out, not sure I understand. I also need to check if the electronics work. The tuner does but I didn’t ask to check the ability to use an amplifier. Will do that.
Currently guitar is on lay-a-way since Guitar Center bought it 6/6/21. Have to wait 30 days to ensure it wasn’t stolen.

Oh my!! That is sooo true!
