I'm a 57 year old male from Wales/UK. I happened to come across my 45 year old Eros Jumbo in the attic just before Christmas, my mother bought it for me for my 12th Birthday.
Finding it, resurrected my interest in the guitar, I searched the internet for different types of tuition, and what I discovered on the computer, convinced me to start taking lessons again as a hobby for my eventual and impending retirement.
My wife bought me a Rockburn Les Paul copy for Christmas as a surprise; unfortunately I also bought a Stratocaster copy to learn on; OK, they're not the real thing, but certainly good enough to learn with. I'm really enjoying all the modern technology and on-line advice that wasn't about in 1968.
Hope my ability goes from strength to strength in the coming weeks/months!!
