Jesse,

That is pretty exciting for me, as I have just picked up the guitar after about a 25-yr absence. I never had lessons, just knew how to play a few chords in my teens. My 12-yr-old daughter and I have decided to learn together. So...we've got the books and we're working our way through learning how to pluck the notes. The tips of my fingers are tingly but no callouses yet. She has a child's beginner book and I have an adult beginner book. Each evening, we fight over who gets to play the guitar. I told her that we could be the next Judds, to which she replied, "what's a Judd?"

Maybe SOMEDAY I'll even be able to play a Gordon Lightfoot song like that guy on You Tube.

Thanks for listening.
