Hello all, excited to be here.  I never stopped thinking of the accordion salesman who showed me how to play music when I was a child of 6.  Unfortunately, my parents couldn't afford to buy at the time.


So now, my goal in life during retirement is to play the guitar.  Probably could have selected something easier, right?  But the music is so beautiful, I had to try.


So the Fundamentals lessons are great, imo.  I did try other options, but GuitarTricks is best by far.  Love Anders Mouridson's commitment and passion and clarity.  Still need to get through Level 2...


Looing forward to chatting with others, and welcome any wisdom for beginners just setting out on the journey.
