I hesitated joining TAC because of lack of musical background. I tried trombone in Jr. High with little success and no instrument since. I am 78 years old with working man’s short, stubby, stiff fingers and had slim hope of success playing guitar. But I had the desire to play. My younger brother has made a few guitars and plays well and was my inspiration. I want to surprise him and play along with him some day soon. I am struggling a bit fretting and with rhythm, but I see improvement even in the short time of the first week. The lessons are great, I AM a guitar player!
