I started playing in March of 2013 at the age of 38. Something I just wanted to do and never did. I picked up a fender starter set ($200) that had all I needed, then come home and signed up for GT. It has been great. I now play 30 minutes to 3 hours each day depending on available time. I also have upgraded to a MIM HSS Strat, Mustang amp, BOSS GT-001 Processor and studio monitors. I am pleased with my progression. Most of the time if I start to stall, I switch it up a bit and try different scales, or different genre of music and it kick starts me.

Now I jam online with friends almost nightly using jamkazam and have really gotten into blues and improv.

GT is the only lessons I have ever taken and they were great. I will be re-upping my membership soon even if for all the songs alone!
