Hello:
I have been wanting to play guitars for years. Received a guitar as a Xmas gift several years and ago and it became a dust collector under my bed until I finally brought it out it in March.
I have been taking private lessons for nine months now. My fingers have healed but sometimes my ego gets bruised. I guess I thought playing guitar would be easy!!! Ha! What an eye opener! I'm having a blast. I told my instructor that I would be taking lessons from him until I'm 70 and then I'd go pro. He's holding me to my word.
Anyway, it's slow but steady. Just when I think I'm not getting any better (you know, one of those "bad" lesson days when your fingers don't want to cooperate) I take out an older lesson, and "lo and behold" I've actually improved.
I hope to get a lot of awesome tips for the older "new" players. And I hope I can offer my insight as well.
My goal is to play for me first....friends and family second....and who know...maybe even strangers.
