Thanks every one for the kind words and encouragement.
What does anyone think of my left hand position.
I think I've got the baseball grip all the time (except for when I'm playing bar chords).
First time I've seen my playing on video and I have to admit it does look any where near as bad as I thought it would, but most of the time my thumb is up over the neck and there is no space between the bottom of the neck and my hand.
