Am I insane?

Rock on Soggy! All the best.
Doug

As with Soggy I took a few lessons at the age of 10 or 11, but to get on your bicycle with a guitar strapped at the back and rain hitting your face to get to your lessons was not my thing. 15 years later I got myself a keyboard and managed to get beyond Für Elise and played a number of songs. However, I never took the time to read notes.

Now at almost 43 I picked up a cheap guitar and I am very excited to plug it in tonight and with the help of the internet I hope to keep that excitement going for the future.

Regards,

42 years old and getting crazier by the day. I've harbored an itch to learn guitar that started after high school. I played trombone in the marching band but that didn't really translate well into real life (I mean who would want you to pull your trombone out around the campfire and blast out some JP Sousa?). I finally just decided that it was time. I made some noise around the family and lo and behold I got a shiny new Yamaha acoustic for Christmas. Now I'm working on my major chords and picking out some single note (and a few multi-voice) tunes and loving every minute of it.

Remember, there is a fine line between insanity and genius. The hard part is not letting anyone know which side of the line you're on!

Rock on!

Eric

BTW, I now have a Fender Strat on layaway. Let the insanity begin!
