I was 47 at the time of writing this. I'm back on Guitar after many years off and need to play with others. I live in Hamilton.
I played a lot at school, learned things like Metallica, GnR, Pearl Jam, ummm.... Their are others but I only seem to remember Over the hills and Far away By Led Zep and a little Nirvana.
I have been focusing on learning the Fretboard and scales, modes and basic music theory. Pretty noob, but learning fast, and I have a pretty good ear for harmony and great rhythm. I can also sing but I don't do it much these days. I'm mostly after someone/ones to Jam but I would be happy if it became longer term.
On a side note I can Tuvan throat sing... sort of... a bit out of practice and it's really hard to teach yourself. Would love to hear from anyone that can teach me more about it.
So it's been a while, I'm 48 now, and I have come a long way, getting closer to a sound and I've become far more comfortable with the guitar. I've gotten hooked on bluesy music and atmospheric major melody. I think I have a lot more to offer now. I do whatever I can to keep the drive going, to keep picking up the guitar every day I can. I'm still a noob but I can see improvement.
I now want more. I NEED more.
I have all my gear, and then some. Been soaking my brain in guitar. Rhythm or lead I want to do it.

49 Still going. I'm comfortable with the guitar. I've worked on all the things I put above and have a firm grip with the fret board. I always practice a little faster than is comfortable and that has helped make me become faster, and my fingers kind of just do what I want without me really knowing what there up too.
I'm now focused on dynamics and feel. Trying to emote though the tone. I've made my own pedals and have can make a lot of nice tones with them. I've not spent anything on guitar stuff for a while as I am very happy with my selection. Next step is Blue Jams. I have a love for blues guitar that I want to develop into a relationship.
