Greetings everyone, from the frosty epicenter of Covid-19 in Scandinavia.

I was climbing the walls during the latest lockdown of my workplace, and decided to tidy up in the basement - where I found my old Santana acoustic guitar I got for my 17th birthday from my parents.

It's been 28 years since, and haven't touched it for 27½ years. Amazingly, I could tune it without snapping any strings, and started strumming the (very) few chords I managed to learn back then.

Wife was less than impressed with me. Happy wife = happy life, so determined that this time I was going to learn how to play, I picked up a "silent acoustic" guitar, found guitartricks by their excellent online reviews and set out from the top.

Currently ~75% through GF1 with Lisa McCormick (who is an excellent teacher!) and taking my time, making sure to correct all the bad habits I picked up as a teenager.

Good luck to everyone here, and fingers crossed that we all reach our goals! My (not very modest) long-term goal is to be able to play Asturias by Isaac Alebeniz.
