hello !

Im diving back in to guitar lessons through GT after a 20 year break. Both my daughters are off to college and I can finally find some me time to practice and play. I'm 56 and stored my guitar and gear two decades. I had the steel strings replaced and the instrument cleaned up.

I love the on line option far better then meeting weekly with an instuctor so you can learn at your own pace and odd hours. The loop option is great when you are learning a new song and just want to hammer it down. I'm back to the basic course but its sparking my memory and I'm excited to wake up and jump back on to my acoustic six string.

I read an article that suggests chewing gum while learning a new skill helps keep you calm and sparks your brain to process and remember. Try it and I hope the lessons stick!
