Thanks for the welcome Bubba. Appreciate it.
Thank you Bubba Jordon!!
Thank you very much for your welcome to the site and your comments. I am amazed at how friendly everyone is here. It is a welcomed change from other sites. I am a brand new player/beginner and have a lot to learn. If you have any suggested helps like you tube videos etc. that you recommend for an absolute beginner at playing any stringed instrument, please tell me about them.
Thanks,
Peaceiscoming
