I turned 50 last November and felt like a fossil on this site. I've been playing since I was 11 but took 15 years off to raise kids and recover from some medical problems. It is really nice to know I'm not alone on here! I'm retired so I have plenty of time to play and I'm lovin it. I play a Fender Strat and have a Peavey Windsor half stack and it is a good amp for what I play, but I want to get a Marshall for the tone. I played a Fender Twin for 20 yrs so I figured I'd try something different. That's what makes this so much fun, always something new. BTW, I have been practicing triads and Chris Schlegel does a great job teaching them, Thanks Chris!

Hey K2BT
You're never too old to learn, and it seems as though you're really enjoying it. The other guitar player in our band is 50, and recently started learning hybrid picking. He's a great player anyway, he just wanted to learn some new tricks. There's just a hint of a grin on his face, when he plays double stops now. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, and keep on picking.
