I'm 41 and just learning, too. Have heart! I think it's quite cool that anybody dares to learn guitar.

I kept dreaming about it. That's why I started. I was picking up a guitar in my dreams and was able to play beautifully. What dreams, eh?

I do have a background in music, so some of the things won't be as difficult for me (I can read music) but my instrument is flute. Quite a different instrument!
