Hi and welcome Scott

I got into songs almost right away. I was 55 when I started, almost 56.

No real schedule per se. It's basically self directed. Fundamentals is a good place to start, as well as some easy songs if you're up for it.

I started with an hour each morning: chords, scales, etc. Then moved into Blues and some theory. There is a lot to learn. A nice easy pace may work well for you.

Best of luck
