We tried to get lessons going, but Covid I guess....so we're gonna put her on YouTube for starters. You're right, I should just sit down with her and get going. I've got an old 5 string I never learned either. I need to just learn the guitar and get with the banjo later. I actually learned some chords on it, but those finger rolls are tough on a beginner, and I lost interest. By God, I'm gonna do it. If I pick it up, I'll invest in an electric. 

Guitar sales have skyrocketed as a result of COVID, with so many itching to learn, so it's a hot topic at the moment with a large community just getting started.  And there a LOT of great resources on YouTube especially.  The one challenge with not having in-person lessons is no one to watch how you're doing things and telling you there's a better way.  But I'm also a pretty firm believer that the way that works for you IS the best way.  The important thing is stay loose, have fun and keep working at it.  There will be up days and down days, but spending even just 15 minutes a day will net some pretty impressive progress in fairly short order.
