Description
Self-taught 50yo, having picked up the guitar in 2009. Self taught simply equates to having learned a lot of bad habits - now needing broken.

I learned by listening to old classic Neil Young - I like folk type music as well as slow acoustic blues; just can't seem to play the latter (the lead parts anyway). I can play well enough to sit around a campfire, singing with friends - and seem to be at least better than the small group I "jam" with.

For christmas (2014), after complaining that I have hit a wall in my playing, my wife purchased a month's worth of guitar lessons from a local instructor. After finding PB, however, I will sign on after this month of lessons is complete. I look forward to learning more theory (currently self taught) and working toward practice techniques for overall improvement.
