hi , i am 46 years old, female, from beautiful nova scotia, i am self taught and started about a year and half ago,  i have a yamaha 410 or something like that and just bought a new simon and patrick,  i love love love guitar and singing,  and alcohol helps for playing and for people listening, hahahahaha,  its all good and fun

Hmm there are a few of us from east coast canada, Right on.

I'm from Halifax NS, living in Calgary. i'm self taught for about 8  months or so and i play on my first ever guitar a crafter d/6

I am a 55 year old female from England and have been teaching myself for about 9 years. I love picking and learning new patterns( Roger Guppy has helped). I have just come back from doing route 66 and met a great guitarist in Oklahoma.

Hi, I'm 63 and from Northern Ireland, (Belfast) I can read Music and have a good grasp of

Music Theory, although I learned on another Instrument, started playing the Guitar about

Two years ago'ish, not easy to transfere from one Instrument to another, but it is coming

along.

And I enjoy it very much and now have the time to get lots of practace in. This is a great site

everyone is always trying to help if they can, I have learned a lot here. As for the fingers,

it's just a matter of time, even people playing for years get sore fingers if they play too long.

And it's never too late to learn anything new?

Oh, and by the way, Welcome To Chordie.

Luck nad health to all!!!!

Hi All. Male, 53 years young and on Vancouver Island, Canada.  Been playing for 41 years and learning all the time.

hello Everyone,

I am 36 male from Indianapolis Indiana, USA, and have been playing for about 6 days now. Always wanted to learn how to play so now I am going to. I am teaching myself so I have a long road ahead of me. Any suggestion on where to start would be nice. Any "easy" songs on here to learn? Cheer ya'll!

Thanks Topdown and sorry for posting my question in the wrong forum... glad to be aboard!

Got my first guitar at about 14 and took some lessons from a very good jazz and blues style player - cut my teeth on blues!  I kind of lost interest for several years through my late 20's into my 30's - never stopped playing, really, just stopped progressing.  Got a bit more serious after a while and a few years ago bought a beautiful new all solid concert cutaway and also found Chordie!  Playing is fun again!  My playing has progressed more over the past 3 - 5 years than any stretch of time prior.  I credit this website with much of the inspiration - and some great laughs and lessons from the frequentors as well as the newbies.

Thanks to all!!  (yes, it's true: the barre chords WILL come)

g'day johnno 35yrs from down under.

started out with my son wanting to learn. so you know the old story we got the guitar and  It lasted about a week and that was it for him. so i thought why not give it ago. i've  been teaching myself for about 3months now and love it. don't know why i didn't start as a young whipper snapper.
      all the best
