Ok, I'll chime in too. I'll be 63 next month. Picked up a ukulele 2 years ago and last year bought myself a guitar for my birthday. I played around all year, writing songs, having fun ... basically with a small handful of chords that were easy for me. I just joined guitartricks yesterday and look forward to filling in all the gaps and learning to play well. Side note - playing music and singing is great for the brain ... alzheimers research says. :) Just sayin' Thrilled to be here. :)
