Well youngens, I'm 64 in two days and started playing guitar at the end of December. My wife bought me a second hand acoustic on a whim. I signed up to guitartricks in January and am very glad I did. Have finished Lisa's beginner's course 1 and have started the second beginner's course. Jumped around a bit to start to learn blues, strumming and fingrerpicking.

LIke everyone I have good days and bad days; somedays I think I am on my way to becoming a guitar god, others I think I will never get this stuff and should just quit. But the most important thing I tell myself is I had to sit up before I could crawl, crawl before I could walk and walk before I could run. And I am just starting to sit up. So I just keep at it. That's the best advice I could give anyone - so play, play and play. (Remember when we were kids and played all day - how good life was - I want to start doing that again.)
