Good to hear teach.

It can get daunting....but as long as your curiosity and want to improve stay up you'll be fine.

If nothing else, get the TGM "basics" down....you don't have to be Yoda, just get the basics. One thing at a time (hard to do though with all the stuff to learn).

-Imparatives- trace straight plane line, flat left, lag.
-Essentials- rhythm, stationary head, balance.
-Hinge action.
-Lag.
-Plane.
-.....lag.
-Plane.
-Imparatives (if you hit a bad shot ask yourself what Imparatives you were lacking....work backwards).

etc.

Just don't try to know everything all at once.
