[J.M.S]

I'd Like To Introduce Myself To Your Great Site And Forum. I've Been Wanting To Learn To Play Guitar Most Of My Adult Life But Never Made The Time Or I've Found Life To Busy. I've Got The Time Now And Have Realized Life Is Not As Busy As It Once Was.
I'm 52 Years Old,have My Winters Off,and Have Finally Purchased My First Acustic Guitar.any Pointers In The Right Direction As Far As Lessons Go Would Be Greatly Appreciated. Any Suggestions On The Theory Of Learning To Play Tabs V/s Chords?
Again Thanks In Advance For Any Pointers. My Main Motivation For Learning Is Self Satisfaction, I Like Most All Types Of Music,i Have Six Grand Children Who Will Make Up The Largest Share Of My Audience. I'am A Total Beginner But Have A Desire And Passion To Learn And Never Quit Until A Task Is Completed.

Welcome. Once you can string 3 or 4 basic chords together, you will be able to strum hundreds of songs for the kids.
