I unlike some of you guys can't afford guitar lessons. Not to mention the gas to get there.
It would be a twenty mile drive.
I also work full time with varying schedules. I was just hoping someone
would clue me in on a good place to look to start teaching myself.
Glad you're concerned enough to ask though.

I Know an old man who is a country musician. He lowered the strings closer to the neck for me. He gave me a "Bad Monkey" tube overdrive and a "Main Squeeze" compressor. I bought a Korg tuner and he showed me how to tune my guitar. The only thing now is to start learning. Is their anyone here willing to help a newbie. I was hoping someone here could suggest a site to teach me some "simple" things to practice and help myself get started. I've never touched a guitar before so any advice has to be simplistic. Could anyone tell me what  these pedals do. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm to old to become a musician but I've always wanted to play a guitar. I don't expect to get great I just want to learn to play something. If you guys only want to talk to advanced players it's all good. Thanks, regardless. Peace!
