I agree. The topic is really good and includes a lot of useful information. Thanks, guys. I started learning the guitar only two months ago and sometimes I just want to scream, but how great it is when I finally see the result Usually, I just watch videos and look through the different guides on the Internet. It is awesome that we have such a possibility today. I haven't heard about the guitarpass site, thanks for sharing, I'll check it out for sure.
As for the theory, I've already begun learning it. Btw, I use Fortenotation. This is a good and useful music notation software that allows me to write the chords down, save my score as a PDF file, send it, print it out, etc. The process is pretty exciting, I should say. And there is a free version that is enough for the beginner, in my opinion.
Someone mentioned here that lessons with a teacher can help. I'm sure they can (I learned the piano when I was a kid, so I know that there are things that are better and faster to learn with a professional).
And Bill, I can't help saying about your patio view. It is amazing! It must be a perfect place for practicing.

If I pick my #1 string (E), when I damp the E string I still hear a vibration in the guitar.
If I go string-by-string to the others I still hear it.
If I put a finger across all 6 strings it stops.
Could it be in the bridge?
Keep pickin’

I still think that it's so cool that you are picking up this hobby now. I played daily for 15 years and finally got burnt out on it and haven't picked up a guitar in a few years now. reading threads like this make me want to knock the dust off one of the many I own and get to it.
Keep strummin away man!

It’s moving forward, albeit slowly. Having fun, though. Earlier this week there was some confusion with my lesson time, and the woman with the following lesson turned up a bit early.
She also has a GS Mini, and the 2 of us played chords and Craig lead on a couple simple songs. That was great fun actually hearing some music.

Bill, reading your “the 2 of us played chords and Craig lead on a couple simple songs. That was great fun actually hearing some music.” is awesome news. Practicing at home is just part of the drill and we all do it. But if you get a chance to jam with other guitar players just jump all over it! You will learn a ton jamming with others when you can do this, and it is likely a fun time. Great to hear your progress, now go out there on your deck and play some tunes!

PM sent. That’s very kind.
