Hey dude, new here as well. I'm also in Pittsburgh Pa. Just though that was cool. Although I'm half your age(not that that matters or anything) this is my 3rd time trying to learn to play as well. Your post reminds me much of my failed attempts in the fact that I've never had other musicians to talk with and no one I know cares about music in a way I do. Anyway long story short just wanted to say hi as I'm trying to meet other plays to help keep me motivated this time around.
