Hey Sascha, hey Bill

I am in the same age group as you guys. Same stuff with the guitar, I started playing with 56, and now, I am 18 months in. The bottom line is that we are old geezers, we don't pick up stuff like a 15 year old anymore. But you learn, every time you touch the guitar, you learn. Just look at what you knew 4 months ago, and what you know now..there is a difference I guess. I often think back and say to myself, I wished I could play what I play today 40 years ago, I am sure I would have gotten laid more often😃. I knew diddly squat about the guitar, Not one note, not a chord. I bit the bullet working every day on it, and still play 1.5 hours every day. The first 10 months were a pain, it is hard, very hard but you get there. You must not set your goals too high, as Sascha said, take your open chords a few power chords and shredd away. You are playing for yourself man, for fun, you won't fill the Wembley stadium any time soon, but who knows man

keep it up
