The Challenge - play the guitar

I suppose
it's my age. But I need a new challenge. And I've
decided that I'm going to learn to play the guitar. I
suppose it's my history. Having grown up with all of
the great guitar heros - Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton,
Jimmy Page, Dave Gilmour, etc. and it's probably more
achievable than the piano.
But I decided that the electric would be easier to pick up and get started. I got my self a second hand guitar from a local shop. So nothing much ventured so far - and a book with CD.
It brought to light within me that I don't even remember playing the recorder at primary school - or being invited to learn an instrument ever at school. Perhaps they knew some I don't. Still now I need to set myself some sort of target, so I don't just dither along. And I'll try to find a tutor. Always good to have that external stimulus.
