Well, I'm brand new to music of any kind.....playing an instrument that is. I'm a 70 year old grandpa. Borrowed a young friends nylon string acoustic guitar 3 weeks ago, signed up with 'guitar tricks' and am working through Lisa McCormick's finger picking tutorial...lots of fun. She's a good teacher. Also started private lessons once a week....my third lesson is in a couple of hours. Have learned Em,Am,G,D,C,B7 chords
so far and working the scales. Learning the first part of Malaguena through my instructor...starting to sound pretty good...just the first few bars. Also learning a few bars of Folsom Prison Blues through YouTube tutorial ..Dario Contese(sp) Thinking seriously about purchasing my own guitar...looking at LaPatrie Collection...seems to be a good one from reviews, at least for beginning to intermediate. Anyway, I'm having a ball learning something new...oh, yeah...and my fingers hurt!
