I am 53 and decided to learn guitar as a new hobby. I spend a lot of time away from home in hotel rooms with work and guitar is a good way to pass the time. I just bought a Tanglewood TW28 and she sounds beautiful - well at least she will when I can play.
I have started lessons but must admit I am not finding it easy and progress is painful.
I don't think that I can add much to the forum other than share my journey towards learning to play, but I have lots of questions I hope that experienced players can help with.
hi chris
the pain soon goes away..it wont be long before you're chucking stuff out of the
hotel room windows and having the time of your life
but until then practice as much as you can... its really worth it
practising with metronome is very important
get familiar with the piece you're practising
play it a tempo thats comfortable and fluent ( using the metronome )
then..keep increasing the metronome slightly as you get use to the current setting
your playing should be fluent at all times
