My name is Al, I live just outside Boston.
I started playing when I was 20 years old, played pretty regularly for about ten years, and was self-taught. Good enough for Doc Watson, right?
Sort of like the guy who represents himself in court instead of getting a lawyer. He has a fool for a client.
What I didn't realize is that he was sitting on a porch with a bunch of good old boys and getting a lot of help. And I developed a bunch of bad habits, and never progressed beyond a certain point.
I'm 75 now, and figure it's about time to learn to play this thing. I have two decent guitars, and am enjoying the process of having a system to use to learn. What I knew well, of course, won't be wasted, but I'm able to correct what I'm doing wrong. Really enjoying the course!
