www.justinguitar.com/en/BC-000-BeginnersCourse.php Scroll down for the lessons. My instructor is a 45 year guitarist. We play a song every week. BUT, the emphasis is on smoothness and timing. Go back and re-read Roadkings comments. 1-2-3-4 with a metronome if possible. Then 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. Very structured, very rhythmic. Eric Clapton reminds us that in the beginning he put out records that didn't stay on the beat. Not cool. You will now see him foot-tapping throughout every song to stay on time.

So, what makes a clapton model special? (Yes, Eric is special.)
25 dbz boost circuit. neck shaping. piece of wood behind trem unit.
For my money, the American Deluxe strat or the G&L is just as good. The Deluxe has a boost circuit (S-1) and better body shaping at the neck pocket.

Here's what a link looks like (simple form.) www.cdbaby.com/cd/crossfiregospelband Nice music. I've returned to take guitar lessons after a 20 year break. The teacher (veteran rocker Mike Hutchens) refused my offer of a new bottle of aspirin.

I'll be glad when my local pro has an opening which matches my schedule. I'm jealous of you guys.
Did I tell you I traded my strat project for a Thinline? Great guitar.

My son's instructor gives him more than he can keep up with in 30 minutes each week. Also, learned this the hard way, don't put up with an instructor who doesn't play along with the student. It sort of simulates the band experience.

A guy named Terry Kath (Chicago) was playing balls out at a very young age. Even Hendrix called him the best he had heard.
The band Chicago may not suit everybody's tastes, but Terry laid down some killer licks in the late 60s and early 70s.

Understand what you are seeing. These are power chords (read, guitar for non-players.) If you want to play it like the record, I (seriously) suggest following along with the song.
Another approach would be to try out some of Mojo's numerous 3 chord songs. Surely there is something in his list you find interesting.
I'm a life-long beginner and I have found the approach you are taking to be the right one for me. That is, learn a song.

How do people make wood look so good? I don't get it! Take a look at PRS tops. Unreal.

I see you are married. The iron and the hoover. The iron certainly helps one remember to vacuum the floor!
They were really thinking when they built that amp. The lights could really come in handy in a dimly lit venue.

Quite a few country artists leave their road gear at a rehearsal hall called Soundcheck. It flooded. Keith Urban and many others will need all new gear.

Yes, it just happens. You're old. Beats the alternative.
