Im new here and would like to introduce myself. My real name is Tom and I played guitar from the age of 11 to the age of 21 off and on and then never picked it up again until I was 50. Im now 56 and the last 6 years I have learned a lot. I own a Fender Strat and a Carvin Acoustic. I lean more toward acoustic for some reason. I enjoy basic theory but don't want to be one of those players who knows all theory front and back but can't play a song from start to finish. I love Bluegrass, Travis Picking and Classic Rock. I wish I had all the guitars I bought as a teenager but I don't, as I sold them all back then. A 78 Gibson 335, 78 Les Paul, 2 1979 Strats, A 77 Taylor 510 and a Martin DC40. Ouch, it hurts not to have them but Im happy with what I have now, at least now I can play some! I was a letter carrier for 33 years, retired and the economy is so bad Im working part time in a bakery now, but I enjoy it. One wife, 3 cats and my dog, Molly. That's about it. Glad to meet you all.

Tom- welcome again! Great introduction! Man, did you come to the right place with all us 50-somethings. I just turned 57 so I'm just a little ahead of you. This seems to be the place for us players getting back into it again after learning when we were kids.
Well don't be a stranger on the forum and let us know if we can ever help you with anything.
Happy Playin' and Cheers! :cheer:

G'day from another Australian Tom. Great intro and thanks for taking the time. I think you will find plenty of people here relate to your preference for acoustic, I sure do. Glad you took the time to introduce yourself and welcome aboard. Cheers, Tony.
