Was that four hours per session or four hours between sessions?

I guess time will tell, but I don't think there is an equivalent substitute for a real live person as a teacher (as long as you get the right one). You can get a lot of lesson time for $200.

I'm a little newer than you (1 week) and a little older (57 year old man). I played wind instruments in my teens and twenties but never a guitar before. My son is a very good professional musician (alto sax) and he gave me a new guitar for my birthday. Best gift I ever got. I figure that if my son became an excellent musician in only ten years, I can certainly do the same.
I think the short fingers problem is just a matter of hard work and practise. I've seen lots of guitar players who do quite well with short fingers. Good luck to us all.
