I have been playing about 4 yrs. I was 53 yrs. old when I started, I'M A LEFTY!!! I bought an electric guitar and amp. I'm a production welder so my hands dont move at a super fast rate,but I do good and practice everyday. The first chord I learned was D chord, then G chord, seemed too struggle with C chord forever it seemed, so decided i wanted too play the blues, well anyway hopped around on Youtube, took some lesons, my instructor says learn songs with DCG which there are millions, ok what about rythm? I can play a few songs and they sound ok, mostly just fumble around playing riffs, 2 finger power chords minor A pentatonic box 1, 2 then I get too F chord !!!!! theres where I hit a brick wall, so I start over again. Am I missing something ? I tell myself. I seem too struggle the most with keeping time with the single note melodies, I can switch between chords at about 85bpm most of the time. Want too bee able too play songs so I joined Guitar tricks, like the struture so far and have set some goals. I got the cart in front of the horse and spent alot of money on buying eqipement, thinking this is the answer, which is alot of fun, not the answer. I have gotten over that. I have an American Proffessional Strat and Tele, A Fender Princeton Reverb and A Blackstar Studio 10 and a few pedals. I have too be able too play live by next june and have comitted to play in a small part in a music festival and play with my cousin at church.
