Right there with you, jrpierce. I am the same age as you. I am finding this a little harder than I expected, but I am fully committed. I will be playing this guitar just about every day for the rest of my life, health permitting. Eventually I might even get reasonably competent!
Looking forward to hearing how it goes with your journey.

It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
