I'm an older beginner, 63. I went to a concert back in March with my daughter and as we were leaving the venue I noticed that someone was raffling off one of the most beautiful acoustic guitars I had ever seen. My daughter suggested that I buy a raffle ticket but I declined due to the fact that I cannot play. She said, "Dad, you're retired, you can do anything you want." So, a couple of days later I bought a gutiar and joined Guitar Tricks.
