- I took an introduction to guitar as a sophmore in high school then picked up a few things here and there and then played very little then nothing in the last ten years... until last year.
I started taking lessons and got bit by the bluegrass bug.
It's slow going at age 51 but I have a very patient and encouraging guitar educator who is a member of this site.
I'm simi-retired with a great wife and two grown daughters.
Oh yea, we have a five year old dochsund.
