Roger, I just went out to the lesson site and read some of the lessons for acoustic guitar, particularly the strumming lesson as this seems to be my biggest problem. I was very impressed and I can't wait to get home to see what else I can do with this site. I have no sound on this computer at work, but the one I have at home does. I don't know what "experts" will say, but as a "beginner", I was impressed. Thank you. annap
