Older beginning guitar player [View all]

I started learning guitar,11 months ago,at age 58....I notice,in another thread,Scuba,also began at a later age...Are there others??

There are so many questions I'd like to ask,I hardly know where to begin..

For comparsion purposes,how far did you progress over your first year??...Once begun,were you surprised at how much time and effort it really takes??.

Teaching yourself??....With books??....Internet course??..Private tutoring?..Did you start with simple open chords,or the single string method?..Acoustic or electric?..Practice daily?..How long??..How long CAN you practice before your arm/wrist/hand/fingers get tired or sore??..

I guess that's enough to start with......
