Beginner lesson layout

[ez-one]

I would like to suggest that the beginners lessons drop down menu be chaged so that the options are 1-50 , 51-99, 99-? the reason is that since a person only has the option of displaying 50 at a time, when the first drop down is 1-99 you have to load the first 50 and then reload to the next page, it would be much more convinant if you could eighter do a show all from the drop down or at least once you have completed the first 50 you could just load the second 50without having to load the first 50 first.. thanks
PS Keep up the great work, I am learning alot

can't you just use the "next" link at the bottom of every lesson page? I'm just trying to figure out where you're having an issue.:D

the issue is (and not really an issue but a suggestion) , once you are past lesson 50 lets say you are on lesson 52, you have to load beginners lessons, from the drop down menu select display 50, then after list that loads click next so that you are now viewing lessons 51 through 99. When you are working lessons 51 through 99 and going on line a few times a day to practice gets to be a hassle to repete that proceedure over and over, if one of the display options was "display all" or if there were display optionf for 1-50 and 51-99 it would elimanate having to go though 4 pages to get the the lesson that you were working on

how are the lessons going? did you start on lesson 1 and how long have you been studying guitar?

I have been playing on and off for about 40 years, what I feel is that I practied and learned for about a year and then just repeated stuff for the next 39 (ouch) started playing again fairly reg. about 2 years ago, tried several different web based sites, lessons, dvd's etc.. and it all helped some, but there were lots of holes in my playing, bad habbits, missed infor, poor form, a friend found you guys on youtube and emailed me your web site, I signed up about two weeks ago, started from lesson 1 even though I know a bunch of chords some power chords and stuff like that and a couple dozen songs. I hit stuff early in the lessons that I already knew and some stuff that really helped give me some structure. Before I signed up I was practicing/playing about a half hour two 45 mins a day, most days, over the last couple weeks I have been playing/ pracitieing 2 to 3 hours a day and only missed one day for some personal stuff that came up. Even the stuff on SUS chords, even though I used them some I did not know what they were or anything like that. I am now up around lesson 59, and having a blast, for the first time in 40 years I really see that I really can get better at guitar (I already have) I have made a ton of progress and look forward to playing. I don't really think I will ever be great, but I know that I can get better than medoricer. A month ago I would not have thought that. David and Tim have hit on the thing that was missing on web learning sites, Actual instruction in a logical and building block order. (sounds almost like a commerical) but I am extreamly impressed, I have aobut $1500 worth (maybe more) of dvds, video cds, and memberships to countless guitar learning sites, that I was able to learn some stuff from but, when you keep repeteing the same bad habits over and over you hit a ceiling fairly fast, I can see enough improvement already in a couple weeks that I am excited about learning guitar again, something I hadn't been in years.
