Be 47 next week, started 1 and 1/2 years ago. It was always a dream to learn how to play acoustic guitar. I find it really hard to sing and play, otherwise I think I have progressed well. Actually starting to nail my F major and B minors (bar's). I took lessons for a year but I find the internet a better option. I was recently given an Epiphone Les Paul and am getting excited to learn Blues. I know the scales, now I' m trying to connect them and learn cool riffs. One thing that I did was buy a good guitar (Taylor), lol I figured if I spend a grand plus on a guitar it would motivate me to learn. Seems to of worked so far. Good luck...
