Great advice guys. Of course you are right. Start with the basics, major's and minor's first and go from there. You have put me on track and I appreciate it greatly.

Southrnrockr, I think you have answered a second question for me. That is-should I learn to form all the cords in the open and first position with my last three fingers instead of my index finger so moving up the neck will be easier?

I would appreciate advice on this from anyone.

Doug_Smith, To answer your question. I have a minor musical background but it's been so long that at this point it's irrelevant. (some things just don't come back).
I started back with the guitar in Jan. and concentrated mainly on scales. Then used minor pentatonic and blues scales to improvise.
However, I wanted to play recognizable songs so I tried tabs but found it confusing as you move up the neck. (I guess I'm a bit of a simpleton) lol I know it takes practice.
At this point I don't feel that I'm making any significant improvement and I know that learning cords is something I need to do.

Thanks guys,
Danny

Thanks Jay, I'll try it. Your right though. Between the pickup combination's, the tone adjustments on the amp and the tone adjustments on the guitar the possibilities do seem endless. Some of the variations are also very suttle. I'm finding myself leaning toward the single coils. At least for now.

Thanks again,
Danny
