I bit the bullet and bought a guitar. I haven’t picked it up yet, but this is the start of my little journey. Approaching sixty and learning a musical instrument.

@dtm I took lessons when I was 14 but never took it seriously. I’ve long thought about taking it up again. You’re an inspiration to a fellow almost 60er.

@moelassus My son is a very accomplished guitar player, as well as a pretty decent luthier (guitar craftsman). I asked him to find me an old acoustic and fix it up and he told me I was better off buying a new entry-level Yamaha. Then everything I read said the same thing. $259 for the one I bought. They even have a $219 model. By all accounts they rival much more expensive guitars.

Seems like a good place to start. Start small and practice. This much we can do.
