Hi EddieG115,

It's never too late to start playing. We're glad to have you on board! And don't worry about taking breaks from learning, you have to learn at your own pace. But if you can, just be sure to pick up the guitar every day, that way you have a mental and physical connection with practice. It really helps!

And another word of advice: don't over think it! We have an entire blog post that talks about how to get into the right groove for practicing right here: https://www.guitartricks.com/blog/Super-Easy-Tips-for-Practicing-Guitar

Also, that's a really nice Les Paul you got there!
