Before you get into your second lesson just reflect for a moment on lesson 1.? Are you sure you understand everything?? Is everything clear to you?? If not, go back and revise.? Do not rush on regardless of whether you understand each lesson.? Pause and satisfy yourself that you do understand.? That way you will make the most progress and derive the most enjoyment out of your course.
Read each page carefully and revise any point which at first seems a little strange
Give as much time as you can to practice.? It should be a great pleasure to you.
Please don't be impatient.? The better you understand these first lessons the quicker you will proceed in the future.
As you are new to playing guitar you probably found that your finger tips became sore after only a few minutes.? This is normal (no pain no gain).
Rest assured that your fingers will harden up very quickly but in the meantime give it a break and come back to it after giving your fingers a rest.? There is no need to rush through everything in one go.
