101 Things to do before you die?

This is one of them and I can't believe I waited so long to start playing. I am a little bit older than most of you (a lot really) and I guess I have raised the average age (and probably lowered the average standard of playing) but I enjoy the site and learn something every time I log on. I bought a second hand Yamaha semi acoustic about two years ago. The guitar has stings that would work well on a cheese cutter or some instrument of torture. Not a good idea for a Newt with soft fingertips. I made no progress and gave up. Then a year ago I bough a second hand Squire Strat (black of course) Love at first sight . It came with a Marshal practice amp and a Zoom 505 effects pedal but most of my playing has been unplugged or headphones via the 505. I stopped playing for a while but got hooked again in November and I try to play most day. Got a Korg PX5D last week and that has added a whole new dimension. I have learned a huge amount. Enjoyed most of it but, when I listen to the weekly challenge, even the so called beginners, I realise how much I still have to learn. My aim is to enter at least one weekly challenge before the end of the year.

Welcome. It's inspiring to see people try new things, reguardless of their age.

I like the "Uncle"/ "venerable" idea.

And/or have a new membership status of "venerable" or "Uncle".

"venerable" is OK but "uncle"....please no!

Plus a "Yoda" status. But only for Alan Ratcliffe that can be.
