Gidday from another fellow Kiwi. Joined GT about 5 years ago at the age of 54. Never regretted it. Was totally new to guitar. Started with fundamentals and then moved on to blues 1 & 2. Have been naughty, haven't spent much time on theory. Too busy learning songs. For a long time I would finish learning a song to my satisfaction, then immediately move on to a new tune. Problem is, I kept forgetting the songs I had learned. If someone asked me to play a song I could only play snoppets of old songs or most of the latest song I was learning (probably a sympton of my age).
Over xmas I decided to choose my favourite 4 acoustic guitar songs I'd learned in the past and re-learn them. I am now going to dedicate a few minutes of wach practice time to playing these 4 songs so that I actually have a small set of songs I could play at any time.
Now I have to do the same with my electric! But wait...... there's a cool new song for me to learn....😃
Enjoy!
