Retread from Ohio, USA
I have come back to the guitar after more than 20 years away! Yes I am an old fart.
My first serious turn on to music was seeing Elvis Costello on on TV in 1977. I also heard Rush for the first time that year. I put together a small kit of drums and began to jam with a guitar player. Next I started ushering at a venue here in Cincinnati and was lucky enough to work two B.B. King shows in 1979. I then saw Fandango (with Joe Lynn Turner who sang with Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen) at a live outdoor show that same year. I bought an Epiphone Classical around 1980-81 and enjoyed noodling with this for a while, while I continued to play drums through out high school. I briefly sang in a rock band in 1982. I bought a 1964 Fender Mustang in 1984 but still just noodled, never really learning any chord progressions or runs. I worked as a sound man from 1983 to 1985. This gave me the opportunity to work around some pretty diverse acts including Wendy O. Williams, Exciter, Alan Holdsworth, and even Prince. In 1985 I walked away from music totally to become a soldier. After this I went to college and then became a family man. I haven't made much time for live music since '85. But I discovered jazz last year and I am really serious about learning guitar now.
I bought an Ibanez AFS75T and a Fender "Eighty-Five" amp recently and now I just need to discipline myself to practice and maybe DVD/CD-based lessons.

Welcome, Timothy!!! From another Cincinnatian!!!
Originally from Columbus, OH, but been in Cinci for over 18 years now.
That Ibanez looks sweet!! I've got an Ibanez AG85 that I love! And I've been getting into jazz, too.
You've come across one of the best....No, the best place to learn guitar! Some of the best lessons and a tremendous bunch of folks of all levels. All very encouraging, too.
If you want, you can PM me and perhaps we could hook up somewhere and jam or talk or have a cup of coffee. If not, well, that's cool.
Again, Welcome!
