New Begginer

Hi I'm a newbie. I'm older there the other last newbie 58. I took lessons when I was 9 for a bit and the teacher beck then must had been old fashion. Needless to say I did not learn anything, at least that I can remember. Then I picked up the guitar again at about 40 but really did nothing. Now that I'm retired I want to learn very badly.
First thing I never learned how to read music, the bars and notes stuff. And I'm lost here already. I joined yesterday and got the beginner stuff but it really see where it goes into detail on reading it. Or is there something here on this site I missed. Any help would be great where to start. I have been through a lot of the beginner stuff and i'm jest lost. Thank you

Hey BJCleage, ]
Welcome to guitartricks..
If you look at the red banner on the home page you'll see. "LESSONS"
Click on it and go to core learning. click on it and you'll get fundamentals 1 and 2. Start on 1 and will give you basic info about guitar which can be helpful in asking questions. Fundamentals 2 gets you into the actual playing of chords and scale and how they go together.
Hope this helps.. good luck

BJCleage, welcome. I'm also starting over trying to learn guitar in retirement. We may not have the muscle memory of some of the youngsters on here. But it is nice being able to pick up the guitar and practice whenever we want!

Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.
