    Please send me more songs, identify the strings by the colors, for example red for A and black is for G I think, what is blue & green for ( the middle strings)? I really enjoyed your lesson and purchased the DVDS. I hope 70 is not to old to learn.

    Of course it's not too old! As long as you have time and a willing mind and heart, nothing in this arena is out of reach. If you will send me an email to michellewillis_2@msn.com I can see what I can send to you for additional enrichment.
