Hey, I’m Steve. Near Pittsburgh .As I went part time in 2021 en route to retirement, I bought an Academy 12 last February. Then traded up to a GTe Urban Ash in April. Never played an instrument. Our kids played piano and that too was sitting quiet. So I began to learn to play both on my own. Now that full retirement is just 2 weeks away I’m looking forward to a more productive learning plan. I have accumulated a raft of beginners books and saved countless online nuggets to practice. Can’t yet barre a clean F chord . F7, Fadd9 are my work arounds. (Don’t really expect
I’ll ever be able to play barre chords!)
The piano has taken a back seat to the guitar but learning how music works for the first time on both instruments is simply amazing.
Happy to join a community of real players who love their Taylor acoustic guitars as much as I love mine.
