Hello All,

52 year old here.

Proud owner of a Cort flat top, Washburn 12 string flat top, Yamaha classical and a Squire Strat. Owned a 78 Les Paul Custom but sold it to buy camera equipment which I sold to help pay for kids schooling.

I have been a guitar fan for as long as I can remember.

Never really learned how to play any of them.

I have made a commitment to myself to learn. Only problem is I recently tore a rotator cuff in my right shoulder that will require surgery. Now I will not be able to play for 6-8 weeks or more.

At that time I will hit it again. I WILL LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR!

Until then I will read and watch vids and practice left hand tech.

Great site and I look forward to learning alot. Also glad to be a member.

Hi Russell, great to have you here..you're in good hands with the Guitar Tricks team! Alot of friendly and informative advice to be had as well as all

We have a member who injured one of his hands back in school and just now is picking up guitar again but had to do it left-handed because of his injury so you're not alone in the challenge department, heal well!

welcome to the site...this is a great place
see ya around the boards!

Hi Russell,

Welcome! We're glad you're here.

I'm a big believer in "multi-modality learning", which is a fancy of way of saying that there is plenty you can learn about playing guitar, even without having the guitar in your hands.

Watch, listen, read, think, visualize. It will all add up to learning, and when you're ready to put two hands on the guitar, you'll have that much of a head start.

Keep us posted - Lisa

I am back in the saddle again.

Shoulder is still sore and healing but I am able to start working on the guitar again.

I have finished fund 1 and very much enjoying it.

"I WILL LEARN HOW TO PLAY GUITAR"

Thanks for the great site.

Congratulations! Welcome back to the guitar.
