Todays goal - update

Great excitement when I came home from the office as the DVD's from Guitar Alliance arrived today. I've now had a good browse, and although I am not a beginner ( the materials are definitely targetted at beginners), I have found some useful items. Mind you I did have an initial problem playing the DVD's as I don't have a DVD de-coder on my system, so the Quicktime/Windows media programme did not work. Fortunately I have another programme VLC media player which did work. It was a pity there were no instructions or guidelines in the package. Rest assured, I have emailed Kenny making this observation!
So where have I got to today?

•  I think I now understand how TAB works - I'll try the exercises on Fretboard Memory DVD tomorrow ( I still believe being able to read the notes in the traditional way is important, but then I did 'cut my teeth learning the piano first)!
• I  understand the purpose of the inlay markings on the fretboard  - and to think I thought it was just pretty decoration! Now  I wonder why my small guitar doesn't have an inlay at the third fret, or two markings at the twelfth?
•  I am feeling more confident with the Barre chord structure. I can find and just about play F, G, A & C using the barre chord at the inlay points. Doesn't half do my hand in at the moment...... and my large steel string guitar - well I haven't a hope! The strings are set too high off the fretboard. That not withstanding, all in all not a bad couple of days! 

Wish my fingernails didn't grow so quickly -  good job I have an emery board to hand on the keyboard!
