Good evening! I have wanted to play guitar since I was a kid. I tried to take lessons when I was in college... but the instructor was a music major and we got so deep in the weeds at the very start that my head was spinning. Gave the guy hundreds of dollars but learned nothing... except I wanted to play and thought it was out of reach.
Graduated... life got in the way... now I'm almost 59. Was at a Goo Goo Dolls concert a week an a half ago. I bought a signed guitar at the merch stand. It is sitting in the other room until I can get a display box for ir. The desire to go get that guitar out was so strong... I went to a pawn shop and bought a Squier standard strat with a humbucker and a Fender Mustang I amp for $270 out the door with all the goodies... hard case etc. And yeah... I know.... it's a Squier. I didn't want to shell out the cash for a Fender until I see if I really CAN start to learn to play.
Wish me luck!
