Hey guys,

I'm 50 and started about two weeks ago. I signed up for GT yesterday after doing the free trials of a few others and I prefer the structure and pace of GT. I bought an acoustic for $50 at a local (Ramona, CA) music store figuring that if I stick with it I will upgrade down the line.

I always wanted to play and it drives me crazy when we get together with my wife's family (she has three brothers who play quite well) and they break out their guitars and I start noticing my beers disappearing faster because I am frustrated that I cannot play.......

As it appears most on here do, I have an array of musical interests (90s - Nirvana, STP, PJ, Metallica, etc.) and lately mostly listen to the Tyler Childers/Colter Wall genre - That is the music I really want to play.........

Glad someone started this - it will be fun to 'watch' everyone progress........
