Hi Tom, and welcome to Mudcat.

As far as finding resources for guitar learning, I'd start by browsing through these threads and finding tips that suit your level - most of the content is about acoustic guitar - and there are links to other threads at the top and throughout.

There isn't as much talk now at Mudcat about guitar picking as there was a few years back, probably due in part to the death of Rick Fielding, an avid poster and guitar teacher (among many other talents). However, several of the posters in these threads are still active, for example M.Ted, John Hardy, Mooh, and Mark Clark. If you post a new thread with a guitar question, you'll get responses.

Good luck, Marion
