Linda, I'm so glad you found a guitar that fits you! That's probably the most important thing, even more than whether it has nylon or steel strings, etc. etc. It sounds like you're motivated to work on it, and that of course is what counts. I agree with those who urge you to keep it out -- a guitar stand is a big help!

Over the many years since I first started playing guitar, I went through a couple of very long periods when I didn't play at all, and when I started up again, I was surprised to find that, after a bit of work, I was able to play much better and more smoothly than I had way back when. Of course I'll never be what I consider a "good" guitarist, but I can accompany a song and enjoy doing it. I have a lot of bad habits, but I can do well enough that I'm not really motivated to force myself to play barre chords, for example. My hands aren't very strong, so I keep extra-light strings on my Martin, and it works out well. Just keep experimenting and practicing, and soon you'll be all set!

Most of all, have fun!

Nancy
