Welcome to a guitar trip for the musically retarded

Started guitar lessons Christmas 2010. I've been self abusing a fretbaord (aka self 'taught') for a few years but getting no where fast.
Getting a pro on the job seemed like a step in the right direction. 

Rather than keep paper notes from the lesson sessions I'm going to post em here.

Share the pain right?

How hard can hitting 6 strings be...

'PullingOff'
It is actually a guitar term... :P

Legal stuff:  

• I'm musically retarded and this is going to be my take on the guitar; at the very least that is going to be full of holes, errors and lots of bad timing.
• Also note I love love love guitars and pity the fools who don't play em.
