Hi guy's, 53, I'm a perpetual beginner. Took lessons as a 16 year old and again in my mid twenties. The old guitar would sit idle for years then I would find some time to pick it up and try to re train my fingers. My son started taking lessons a few years ago and watching his progression spurred me on once again. I really like this site, doing the basic picking styles at present by Lisa McCormick, great instructor. Couldn't agree more, hang in there! Smoke On The Water, right on!
