Hi there .
I'm 63 now and started playing guitar 2 years ago.
So I purchased an electric guitar.
The last time I touched this sort of instrument I was 16 !
I started looking at some videos on YT then I suscribed to GT.
That was great at first and helped me a lot especialy learning with Lisa's beginner's course.
But as I'm french I had some trouble to understand everything explained.
After 2 years of "sterile internet wandering", I was not able to fix on a precise goal, so I tried blues, rock, soloing, and so on, total mess.
At the end I went with a french guitar teacher, and restart all from scratch.
Back to the basic, I learned a few chords well and I'm now learning only rhythm wich I think is the foundation of playing guitar.
I've read your posts and I find that we most all share same troubles at start.
I think the most difficult thing in playing an instrument is to find a goal to acheive before going any further.
I wish you all the success you diserve in your learning.
Regards form France
