Hi Mart, I'm up the road from you and an hour north of Kingston. I'm pushing seventy and started cold here almost four months ago. I'm thrilled with what my fingers will do. The Guitar Fundamentals lessons have been just perfect for me. I did skip over the melody section because I had no calluses yet, so after I finish the rest of the chords section, I'll probably go back and do that.

I tried to teach myself piano for two years with poor results. Then I found a program online and its teacher and I dug right in. I have a lot of patience and discipline which seem to go a long way toward making up for the talent I lack. I figured the guitar would allow me to work at a less rigourous level, provide the instant gratification of strumming along to 'real songs' and also help improve my sense of rhythm. All that has come true and more.[br][br]

I think my low expectations and high motivation work in my favour.[br][br]
