Good afternoon (well it is in London). Eight months ago at 58 years of age I decided as a lifelong lover of rock music to try the one thing I have always wanted to do, which like all of you is to play the guitar. I bought a cheap kit off e bay and realised i had 10 thumbs and two left hands but i loved the racket i was able to make.

Eight months later I am still loving it (and still rubbish), i have bought a new guitar (Yamaha Pacific) new amp (Roland Microcube) and had over twenty five lessons. It's improving but I never realised how much hard work is required.

I dont know if 58 is to old to pick up a guitar for the first time but as Bryan Adams said "18 till I die":

My taste in music is Muse, Paul Weller, The Cure, Springsteen, nor really into metal.

Anyway, thanks for reading this.
