I have total confidence in you, Jo. Is there something specific that has you high-centered? Maybe open it for discussion here.

I'm hoping that a "Whole guitarist" will step up to the plate (baseball expression) and teach you ascending and descending runs between chords.

Also arpeggios. That would really give you Kate and Nina's vibe.

Let finger-picking evolve in it's own time while keeping that carrot within plain view.

I'd recommend both Country and Bluegrass as starting points because they are generally easier to learn.

Knock 'em dead, m'lady!
