Hi Guys and Indeed Girls, i am so please to have found this site, found it by coming across Mojo's video's on Youtube (thanks Mojo).
Little about me, well i am just coming up to sixty years old now, been fiddling with Guitar for quite few years now but since having 2 strokes lost everything i had acquired, came out of them as different person, no memory of chords or anything, just could not hang on to information, still pretty difficult to do so, but i remembered the guitar at home lol and was told i used to play, sounds stupid maybe but it was that bad just couldn't remember.
Anyway diden't even want to pick up that guitar, so i have brought myself a secondhand Yamaha FG720s, the strings felt like they were trying to slice my fingers into potato chips lol, anyway have changed them for lighter ones and feel much more comfortable.
So finding this site has given me confidence and therapy for my old Brain, the three chord stuff is just about right for me now so can learn few tunes to play for my grand children.
Thanks again.
Jim

Good guitars Yamahas for the dosh. I have a Yamaha F310 cheapest guitar in the shop - new strings, a tweak and a saddle shave and it is a great player
