Well 50 isn't that old or......nevermind! I was looking for a good website to get back into the guitar and I think I found it. I've been playing off and on for 40 years and it's amazing how much you forget if you don't keep in practice. I played in bands in the 70's & 80's and in '89 I broke my neck in a car accident. It took 15 years to get enough feeling back in my hands to play again. This past summer I decided to get back into music and bought myself a Fender deluxe ash strat and a Peavey Windsor half stack. The amp could use better speakers but it works for now.
I don't work anymore due to an injury while I was in the army, so I get paid pretty well to sit home and get back into practice. I'm would really like to play in a band again because it was the most fun and satisfying job I ever had.
Thanks for putting this website together. In the past month I made more progress then I thought possible. I wish there was something like this 30 years ago! For those just learning to play, just don't give up. I know it's not easy but before you know it you'll be playing songs from your favorite band-and loving every minute of it. I know I do! Take care and God bless, John
