Ok mickiebb, you have a nice guitar and a nice setup, so you ought to be a campfire sensation in a week or two -- no excuses!

Seriously though, welcome, there are a bunch of us folks in our 50s and beyond trying to learn to play the guitar here. Just about every one of us says we always wanted to be able to play and most of us ask if it's too late to start now. Of course it is never too late to start. [br][br]
Good luck, try to be patient and persistent, but don't forget to enjoy the journey. [br][br]

It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
