I'm a 63-year-old retired newbie and also have a Yamaha (FG700S). I am making slow progress but I am very impressed with the quality of the Guitartricks lessons. I don't expect I'll ever be a great player but I'm confident I can develop enough skill to strum simple songs and entertain myself while learning to appreciate great guitarists that much more.

Believe in yourself and be patient. You can do it.
