Hey Old Guy -- Seems like we have similar story. Anyway, GT good place to start or refresh your guitar-playing "chops". I can't imagine letting my subscription to this site lapse. Instructors, lessons, toolbox, & forums all excellent. Allows you to continue at your own pace.

Two pointers if I may:

1. Leave the guitar out in view. On a stand by the T.V. works. Grab it during commercials. Locked away in its case; it just won't get played.

2. Tune your guitar at the start of any playing session. Out of tune guitars just don't sound good and anyone in earshot (including you) will become annoyed. Nothing like a nicely resonating G-chord to perk you up.
