got my first guitar at age 46, I will be 50 in a couple days. Been having a lot of fun, but I am admittedly very bad. The thing is I won't give up, I am getting better. I jam with a few guys at least once a week, take private lessons, and just joined Guitar Tricks. Keep on rockin!

Welcome. Keep having fun...the rest will come.

Happy Birthday!
