.....2 weeks down

jgault · #1 March 20th, 2008

Hey everyone:

My name is Ed, from Indiana.

I started to learn about 2 weeks ago. I'm just now to the point where my fingers aren’t killing me! It’s been a fun start but has been harder than I expected. I’m trying self study. I think it is going well. Playing guitar has been a lifelong desire but somehow I never have got around to it. At 47 years old I guess I’m a late starter. Over Christmas the kids got a “Rock Band” video game. We all had a blast playing it. It got me thinking that It would be much more fun to play the real thing than to play the video game. So here I am. My kids are also interested and want me to teach them (they don’t yet realize that I can’t play either).

A few weeks ago I picked up a used electric guitar and a practice amp.I’m interested in playing blues and classic rock and a bit of country music.

This site has been a great help. I check it often and I’m not yet through all of the posted lessons.

Thanks to all of the participants on the forums.

Best Regards

Ed
