With a 70th birthday approaching I have decided to learn the guitar! At the moment my practice consists of hurting my fingers but the toughening up process is the first challenge to be overcome, or so I have been told. I went to my local music and instruments store (shout-out to Intasound Music of Leicester) accompanied by a guy who has been a touring pro guitarist for years and came away with a Cort G200 + amp & accessories for a very reasonable price. My friends view, not a great guitar not a terrible one but eminently suitable for a learner. It sounded good to me when he played it in the shop! Recently I have been gifted a Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass. I think I have more the temperament of a Bassist, possibly? Once become proficient at holding down the strings I will be looking for a local teacher to give me lessons. That's my introduction. KTF!
