Keith we are both in the same boat. I'm 52 and started playing a year and a half ago. I actually go to a lesson for half and hour once a week and that has helped with some of the confussion. I've bought books, dvds, and go on line for information all the time. Every thing gives you a little help, and I found out you can't sustitute any of that for good ol practice. Playing the guitar is like being a kid all over again. So crank it up and enjoy the ride.
