Welcome aboard Ric!

I believe that you have come to the perfect place to continue to learn how to play the guitar. You will have a great instructor in Jonathan and a supportive group here. With practice, it won’t be long and your wife will be requesting songs and rejoicing in your success. All the best to you.
