Old is bad word! We are all coming into our second, better life. I started about 2 months ago taking lessons each week. However, I went through Hurricane Irma a few weeks ago and the wife of the teacher gave my spot to someone else. I had only 4 lessons and was playing a simple version of Cripple Creek. Because of not being treated very nicely, I looked to the Web and found GuitarTricks and signed up. I am on my second evening and have been impressed with what I am learning. I had tried taking up guitar in college, but that really was to get close to the cute track star that would graduate a few months later. Many years later, I wanted to try to seriously apply myself. I am also trying to learn the Mandolin. How old am I? 64. So don't be saying that bad word around here! ;) Taking up an instrument is giving me something new to learn and enjoy. This is much better than trying to learn a new language for something different!
