Why I'm Here | I guess you would consider me an older beginner. As a teen I attempted to learn guitar and a couple of friends helped with a few chords and riffs. It just didn’t stick or may be I didn’t stick with it long enough. After I was married I tried half heartedly again and got the same results. Last summer I decided playing guitar was something I really wanted to do. In my mid 60’s I guess you can say this is my bucket list. I bought a Yamaha FG700S online and started practicing chords. I even took a free online course but found it was not exactly what I needed. Most of my playing will be solo. Hopefully when I’m comfortable with myself I will play occasionally with my son who is pretty good, but he is very busy at work and doesn’t play much any more. What I really want to be able to do is use a combination of chords and single notes to play a song. Checking site after site Tony’s comes closest to offering what I want. I like Bluegrass but I guess I’m more of a country fan. I hope to be able to take chords from I favorite songs and add my own melody over them. Progress is slow but hopefully devoting a half hour or more a day will be enough to reach my goal. |
