Mostly the time of it. I tend to have very variable times I can devote to these things. Maybe I'm free at 10 PM or whatever. I was planning to do that once I got enough of the basics down.
I'd find a local guitar shop and ask them to help you out. They'll help you pick out a good $400-$600 electric and also set up the guitar for you. Setup and good strings make a big difference. I'm not very good and I don't play much anymore, but a good set of strings is the difference between me sounding competent and it looking like I've never picked up a guitar.
Setback! I knew there had to be other setback players out there somewhere. I was raised in a setback-playing home. My father played in a league back in the 60's. Ever played the variation called "Southern Setback"? I'm trying to teach my kids, but with no screens involved, I just can't get them interested.
Don't know what kind of Setback it was. I think I played whatever the other guys in the UConn dorm played.
How this. You don’t need a new guitar. I will Skype lesson you for free once a week for next 6 months. Maybe once in that term take a 90 minute drive to old Lyme and I will take you for a real lobster roll ;-) and spend a couple hours with you for a face to face ( which is a good thing to do). If you really want it. It’s what you do in between the lessons that counts.
Bags.
Fashion. I should care more about it but I just don't. Therefore, I suck at it.
Last year I played disc golf for the first time and I had no idea how serious of a sport this is. I am going to hone my skillz this year. Righty. And yes, it is more difficult than it looks.
I'm a better cornhole player lefty than righty. Like you, i'm righty on most everything, but I do have decent amibidexterity (if that's a word). I can bowl lefty, and was competent switch hitter.
Fashion is the most useless trade in existence.
I bet you are.
Yes, because the biggest clutch play was me hitting the tiny quarter sized red dot for max points with my last throw during corporate team building axe throwing, when I needed exactly that many to win. Split that baby down the middle. Kirk Gibson's walk off homerun, and Malcom Butler's game winning interception in the SuperBowl are worthy, if lesser achievements.
to be fair, it forced a playoff, and I'm sure hole-in-ones are far more common in disc golf than they are in golf. and, it was only a birdie. that's like 3 strikes against.
There is an app called Pitch. Allows you to play many variations of Setback on your device. You can join a game with strangers or set up a game with your peeps and they can be anywhere. It’s great.
At this age and in my current shape, it would be a blessing to be flirted at by anyone!
There was a thread about buying starter guitars here on the boneyard not too long ago. There is no reason for you to buy a new guitar. It just takes persistence. Anybody can play any guitar. It just takes time. You are never too old. Just need to keep at it and keep practicing scales, chords and start learning how to play some songs. You will get there.
A truly kind and generous offer. I need to pick the thing back up and see if I remember anything at all.
