52 here, have owned a guitar since I was about 17 or so, but never actually got any good at playing, at least not to the point where I knew what I was doing and why. Rocksmith came to the party several years back - tons of fun - and it definately made me able to play some songs, but I'm not learning anything beyond where to place your fingers and what string(s) to hit. Hopefully GT will get me more to where I want to be - able to comfortably improvise and have it sound "right". So far, Lisa's lessons are on the money - I've already picked up quite a bit and hope that the trend will continue as I finish this path and head down probably the Blues path next...
