Learning the guitar

It’s never too late to pick up a guitar and start learning, wouldn’t you agree?. I‘m sure that applies equally to other instruments too. However, in my case it is the guitar.

I’d messed about musically in my teens at school with a couple of garage bands- not garage music that was unheard of – but literally playing music in your dad’s garage with a couple of mates and never got further than that.

I wanted to play the lead bits but I was rhythm and just banged out chords. We were bad but had fun.

I put the guitar down around my 19th Birthday and have picked it up over 20 years later still wanting to scratch a lead guitar itch.

I’m now approaching leaning with a little more maturity and patience. I have bought a great couple of books by Troy Stetina. A speed guitar merchant. I’m not into the speed stuff myself but ‘respect’ to Troy he’s good! Very good.
