Got the Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar lessons today!!! Let's get this journey started!!!

Thanks for all the information and encouragement!!!

I recommend not thinking you will learn fast. You will learn based on your effort. Stay focused on Steve's course. Minimize the temptation to grab every piece of guitar info out there. Steve is enough for the next couple years if you just focus on the course. Say the notes like Steve recommends, it will help in the end. Learn and play songs right away. There is nothing better to learn and encourage you then hearing the sounds coming from the guitar. Don't stare at your hands all the time. It is ok when learning a new form, but not for playing. Pro's look at their hands only during something technical. You should be a strumming chord monster in the next year. Don't stop because you think you are stuck. You are still learning. Move to something else then come back to what you think you couldn't do. You might be surprised. Let it rip. Play with reckless abandon after you learned the basic technique of course. Feel the music and have fun with it!

1 Steve likes music reading over tab, tab is only in first few lessons. And yes a couple of mistakes in it. 2 DVDs never updated so any reference to LMG websites just come here. 3 don't skip around till atleast session 10 , sessions 1 to 9 are the foundations. 4 check my Signature below for the link to Words of Guitar Wisdom by Steve. P.S don't forget the jam a long CD tracks P.P.S session 1 is just to get your hands moving, move on to session 2 quickly

Here's the best distilled wisdom I've found (links to topic in music theory forum):
