Got any tips for helping a middle aged guy (50) learn to play the guitar? I have an electric guitar that was just sitting around at my mom's that my stepdad had. It's nothing fancy. Just a budget model (Epiphone Special 2) I believe.
I played alto saxophone when I was younger for 6 years. So I have a decent understanding in music. I don't have an amp with it. Just bought one of those Vox headphones amps for now. I have a few books I picked up at a Half Price Books, but not sure how well I can do just with those. Can't really do lessons at the moment. I'd love to play with/learn with others.
Any YouTube videos you all might recommend watching? There's quite a bit of content on there. My biggest issues will be trying to manipulate my fingers for all those chords and of course, these strings can be a bit uncomfortable on the fingertips. Probably will be a long while before callouses develop. Any help would be appreciated.
