Old dude, new to guitar

Third time trying to learn guitar. First time I was young kid in the mid 70s trying to teach myself with a really terrible electric guitar my dad had brought back from Vietnam. Second time was in the late 80s, I was when in the service trying to teach myself on a Washburn electric and Zoom pocket amplifier I picked up at a pawn shop. Now that I am much older, I've learned from my past mistakes in knowing that I need help to do this. I bought myself an Epiphone LP, love that tone, and a subscription to GuitarTricks. So far, in just the first few lessons, I have learned more than all my previous attempts. I'm feeling optomistic about this time around.

Anyway, Hi.

Very similar story for a lot of us on here - if only we had internet and online lessons when we were young.

I just finished F1 and now I'm on to F2 - about 2 mos. Learned so many simple things that opened up huge doors of knowledge in F1 and F2 is mind-blowing by comparison. There is a light out there, but Lisa M keeps moving it down the tunnel !!

Oh, I was going to say, I try not to do anything with the electric yet except play it on the "clean" channel on my amp. I am aware that I can now make a billion different sounds and I do not want to get distracted before I learn everything there is to learn about the fretboard and how it all goes together and the best patterns (scales and (1,4,5)) to learn.
