Welcome

So in a nutshell, I didn’t learn to play guitar until I was 57, even though I had been trying since I was a teenager. 

The difference this time was I followed the learning path, practiced each day (still do) and realized this is a very difficult instrument to learn. This realization made me slow down and accept that some skills will take more time than others. 

Once I had some fundamental knowledge down, I started setting my own goals and working towards those. 

Best of luck
