Hello, I'm an oldish beginner (52 next month). I try and learn a new skill or take up a challenge every year and this year it's guitar playing.

previous challenges have included completing a History Degree (that took 6 years), learning to play Sax, learning to ride a motorbike, taking up running (last year - can now run 10 miles), taking part in a 85 mile 24 hour walking race (tried 3 years in a row and the furthest I got was 56 miles and then I broke myself badly).

It's great to read about everyone's journey with guitar and pick up hints and tips.
