Greetings!

I bit about me- I took advantage of this virus situation back in March to scratch an itch and started on a journey to finally play the guitar after a long career as an air guitar player.  ;)

I was born without fingers on my left hand and quickly figured out that left-handed was the way to go, after of course buying a right-handed model. Thus I was very quickly a two guitar owner.

I have progressed from having never formed or played a single chord (and quite a bit of time cursing the G chord) to progressing much more than I ever imagined possible at the ripe old age of 60 something.

I’m looking forward to learning, sharing, and becoming part of the like-minded community here.

My name is Chris and I’m a guitar addict.  ;D

Welcome Chris, your story is very inspiring. So happy that acoustic guitar is now a part of your life. Do you currently own a Taylor or are you in the market for one? Or maybe either, which is fine too. We welcome all players here.

I have a 114ce that I bought 2 months ago (and what a difference it made from the Ibanez I started with). I will also soon have a 618e that Taylor is making for me.

You know, I should have known about your 618e...I read that post. It was early.  ::)
