I very quickly realised I have no musical talent whatsoever but I wont let that stop me.

Anyway, hello everyone....

I'd be willing to bet that you have more talent than you think. What you might lack right now is the physical ability to play as well as you would like. That's because everyone starts right there; hands like two left feet. It's always good to know that you are in the same company of every guitar player ever...including the legends.

So, enjoy, stick to it and most importantly, remember to have fun playing the things you do learn and when striving to reach a new goal, it's usually not a matter of if you can but when you can.
