Hi.
I am 59 years young (well! sort of) and have been playing for 5 years. I seen the country blues series and had to join up. At my age playing the guitar is all about fun (country blues sure does look like fun) but at my age learning seems to take a long time, but hey, as long as it is enjoyable.

I live in Sydney Australia and with the wonders of the internet I am looking forward to making the most of this great site.

You know what Jimbo, you are about to be bombarded with friends. Get ready.

And oh yeah, you'll be learning a thing or two on that guitar as well.

Welcome aboard.

G'Day Jimbo,

Welcome to TG, although as a founding member I guess you've been here a little while now anyway. Don't worry about age you are in the general bracket of most members, even Chris aka Neverfoundthetime, (he'll get me back for that don't worry).

The new section looks good and will keep yu occupied for quite some time so enjoy yourself.

And don't be a stranger to the Forum, lots to learn here also and a few laughs.

regards

Chas (A Scot not a Kiwi in New Zealand)

Welcome Jimbo! All Aussies welcome on the forums... they tend to have good ideas.
As Chas (the honoured, fellow founder member and oldest ever recorded kilt wearing Kiwi) mentioned you are just about of average age so no worries! My learning moves at a glacial pace sometimes so join the club. Have fun on the forums!
