I, too, think you will greatly benefit from what GT has to offer.

I'm 38. I started playing in July after a guitar was gifted to me for my birthday. (Well, technically two...an acoustic and electric.) I had never played an instrument when I was younger but always wanted to learn how to play guitar. But I thought it was something only "musical" people could do and that was definitely not me.

(Side story here: What made me fall in love with guitar? When I was very little, I remember my pastor singing and playing guitar to O Holy Night every Christmas Eve while candles lit the church. It was an experience! I couldn't believe how beautiful that guitar sounded. Ever since then, I've wanted to play.)

But once I had the guitars I was determined to learn how. I knew getting a local instrutor would be 1) impossible due to cost and 2) impossible because of COVID. And I knew I needed a structured program so I quickly found GT videos, fb page, site, etc. And then I was hooked! I am in Fundamentals 2, but have dabbled in about 25% of the acoustic course. I have been playing lots of songs, full songs!

But best of all, the confidence I gained from learning how to play transferred over to other areas and I am just generally a happier person. Now I am about two months in to learning how to play the ukulele too. I have definitely surpised myself! And I think you will too once you get started on this path. The instructors here are great and available for questions as well. You can definitely tell the hard work they put into getting these lessons just right. And as you can see, everyone on the forum is quite helpful, too.

Good luck to you on your journey!
