Janetquick - Good LUCK !! I picked it up at 51 (this past February 2019) and I love it.
IN Fact, I JUST discovered the JAM STATION on GuitarTricks - tons of great backing tracks. It is awesome, you can practice scales or lead licks or practice playing along with the rhythm guitar (I guess?). Anyway, intended to spend about 20 mins. practicing today and I have been JAMMING with Jam Station for the past 4 hours. My fingers and arms are going to fall off, my back is sore, but I really don't want to stop. This must be what "crack" is like.
