Hey again Warren. Yes my wife, and both of her parents are musicians. She is a violinist, but plays some guitar which is where I learned. Funny story, when I was in the second grade about 500 years ago it seems. I got frustrated trying to play the recorder. A teacher told me that maybe music just isn't my thing. That stuck,,,,for years. I never even considered learning to play music until I met my wife. When we met 7 years ago I told her that I am not musically inclined. She called BS on that and asked if I wanted to play music, and that answer was yes, guitar. Soon she bought me an entry level acoustic and started teaching me chords. She told me straight up that guitar is not her main instrument, and if I wanted to advance I would need to seek instruction. But in the mean time we have had a blast playing Jimmy Buffett songs on the porch, as well as tons of other songs you can just strum chords to. I had put off going further than that for a long time. But now something just welled up inside and I really want to learn guitar, and more about music. After learning to read tabs on here, last night I sat down and (with some trial and error) played the Star Spangled Banner. It needs work,,,,but I did it! I actually played a song by playing indevidual strings. I never dreamed I would be able to do that. I have a long way to go but man is this fun. Last night I also learned the G major scale and am going to move on today or tomorrow to the next lesson. This is so much fun, and I'm in this for the long haul now. No more on again off again if I can help it. At 45 years old I'm learning a new way to play.
