I picked up guitar 3 years ago, but stopped playing during grad school for the past two years. In fact, I actually was dumb enough to sell my Strat because I was convinced I wasn't playing again.
I went to the Rock Hall this summer and was both inspired and sad that I had given up. So, I saved some money this summer and purchased an acoustic guitar and I am now going through Beginner 2 course.
I'm a bit older, but I know that if I start now I will have the rest of my lifetime to enjoy music.
