Satman, gitaardocphil, oldsoulman are youngsters......I'm 61 and just started playing "again" about 3 years ago. I played in high school with a group (didn't everyone??) and then didn't play until 3 years ago. I enjoyed it during my high school days and do again, maybe even more so since I have the time to try and get it right. It's amazing how much I forgot from the old days and find that making the chords isn't as easy as it used to be too. However, I don't intend on giving it up.......I want to take some lessons and see what else I can pick up to make me sound better. Right now it's mostly chording but I would like to do a few riffs or be more of a lead player than I am currently.

Re: Squire Affinity - Telecaster (8 replies, posted in Electric)
Congratulations on your choice....I too have a Telecaster although I went another step up and got a Mexican version. Can't comment on the other amps that the folks have suggested but I'm doing the best I can with a Fender G-Dec 15. There is an upgrade to that amp known as a G-Dec 30 (it has a larger speaker, some more juice and more sound options) but the small version is doing a fairly good job for me so far. I don't play much during the summer unfortunately, but do play with about 10 other people at our park in Florida when I'm down there in the winter time. We're playing some country, some blue grass stuff and lot of other junk I've never heard of until we play it. So the trick is to hone my skill at playing by ear, I guess. Good Luck on your amp search.
