In reply to the discussion: Older beginning guitar player [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)8. I started playing when I was 14, self taught but later hung out at Berklee and got some
great advanced lessons from student friends for free.
Started with open chords playing three chord songs that I liked, by ear.
I am a performer, and have been a guitar teacher, and can play for 8 hrs or more under the right circumstances.
I highly recommend Guitar Pro as a learning tool; but it might be too advanced for you at level of development you are in at this time.
Good luck, but you should know that you just ruined your life with this awful addiction.
