True, I did not learn to play my guitar overnight. But, I did have a music instructor who taught me in a systematic manner. My instructor first taught me the basic nomenclature of the guitar. Then he started teaching me how to hold the guitar. Then how to fret one note and get a clean sound. Each lesson was followed by a lot of practice!

I hoped my new "instrument" would also have a systematic (the key word - systematic) learning system provided by the makers or a third party.

I have used all the help sections mentioned in this thread (and greatly appreciate the help!), but there is nothing systematic about them.

I will check out the DVD as mentioned!

Thanks to all.
