With a Norah Jones Piano-vocal-guitar book, I figured out how to read the chord diagrams, and slowly began to play...very slowly. It wasn't until a friend of mine suggested we play guitar together that I truly began to practice (because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of him). So, thank you R.S. - I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
