I never thought I was too old to learn guitar. I just recently caught the "bug" of wanting to play after coming back in contact with several friends from high school that have been playing for 30+ years. They are phenomenal from my perspective.
I don't want to say I don't want to be great because of course I do!! I would be happy to be able to sit down and play competently.
I love this web site. I am following Lisa's 'Guitar fundamentals' and I am really enjoying it. I tell my friends that ask about the site that it starts out kind of slow, but I love it that I am playing simple melodies.
I am currently up to the 3 string melody 'Early Bird Gala.' I'm finding that from repeating these drills I'm playing and getting the feel of it without looking at the frets or the strings. I'm really having a ball.
I went from knowing absolutely nothing about the guitar to where I am playing simple music. I absolutely love it. Thank you!
