But please take my word, start before you are 65.


Try this. Learn the 4 finger C and G chords, first position first. Then once you learn the F and D, you can play in any major Key. Then learn the Am (4 finger)and ‘Em (3 finger). Then you can slide those up. Not sure if this is the best path but it’s where I have started
