Hi - Until this past Janurary I'd never even held any musical instrument. At the tender age of 74 and looking for a new challenge and opportunity to learn this is what I landed on. Classic Rock, Country, and some Folk are all I listen to. I started lessons at Guitar Center in Janurary and discovered I actually had "some" natural talent, then the virus shut them down. Guitar Tricks has everything I was looking for and then some, taught in a way that resonates with me. I'm very visual, but also need to grasp things intellilectually to learn. This is perfect and available 24/7.

Thank you Guitar Tricks!
