Hi All.
I'm 68 years old and completely new to playing the guitar, but not new to playing a musical instrument. Since the age of 11 years I've played a variety of brass instruments.
Having retired 12 months ago, I decided (or maybe my wife decided for me 😄) that I needed a new challenge and on a recent cruise vacation I was inspired by a guitar player who entertained onboard. That got me watching a few YouTube videos about how learning to pay the guitar, especially for people my age, was good for your wellbeing. That was it! Decision made!
I now own a Yamaha SLG200S "silent" guitar, which enables me to practice without annoying the neighbours (or my wife). I've also invested in an amp, so that I can enjoy the full sound when no one is around to complain about my practising my chords!
Choosing GuitarTricks was easy! A little bit of research on the web and a brief trial with another app led me here and I'm really enjoying the experience of learning a new skill!
