I didn't know where to put this, because it mostly applies to new students. Over the years I've noticed that one of the hurdles in learning to play guitar is reading music. It's essential in learning to play, because we see a note and have to identify it before we react by fretting the proper string and plucking it, then hearing that we've done it correctly. Learning is worlds easier IF we know how to read music. Fortunately, this is something that can be learned apart from playing our guitars. We learn it by rote (doing it over and over until we can do without thinking). To assist us in this, a website (free) has online drills. It's an asset we shouldn't ignore. The website address is below. Lotsa luck.

Thanks John!  I had visited that website in the past, but completely forgot about it! 

It is amazing how much that really helps, just doing a few minutes a day.

Getting the note recognition down takes one piece out of the learning puzzle!
