The problem with starting to play tunes is knowing how to start - regardless of style or genre. Music dots? Tab? By ear? By sitting in front of someone who shows you what to do?

In the end it comes down to finding the right notes on the fretboard by some means or other. Not everyone can read music, understand tab or have a retentive ear. Once that basic problem has been tackled, progress can be made.

Dick, I can't recall, offhand, if I've done anything with just thumb. I'll have to go back in time and remind myself. Thanks for the kind words about the videos, though I know from experience that you can't please all the people all the time!
