I can relate. I got my first guitar 45 years ago and have always had one. however other than learning a few chords never took the time to to get better. In the last year I've been searching all the sites and think I will get the most from this site.
I have always liked blues and the 70s classic rock. Now that I have the time to pursue learning the guitar, I am looking foward to getting better. I asked an instructor if I was to old to teach and he said absolutly no, he said remember you will never be as bad as you are now, so go for it.
