Hi all,

Amid the covid 19 crisis and subsequent lock down I've decided to make use of the time at home to learn guitar at the age of 47.

Bought a secondhand Yamaha 2 days ago and been working my way through a few beginner tutorials on YouTube.

Only discovered this site today and watched the introductory videos and will probably sign up for full membership tomorrow. It is worth it right??

After a couple of days trying to play a few chords and a few basic one string songs, it feels like I'm going to be the one person who's fingers are just not going to get it. [br]I know it's a bit early to be having so much doubt but I just can't seem to imagine my hands and fingers one day doing what a competent guitarist can do?

Any words of encouragement ?

Any other newbies out there wanting to inspire each other and track each other's progress?
