My name is Rob. I am 60 years old and just started playing 'seriously' about a year ago. My primary guitar is a Yamaha FG-730S that I bought in January of this year. I also have a Beaver Creek "travelling guitar" and have just ordered a Takamina EG345C 12 sting acoustic/electric to replace my 40 year old Framus 12 string "Texan". I am playing mostly folk and country stuff, but have recently learned a few Foo Fighters tunes (Everlong, My Hero, Skin & Bones).
Have a safe and pleasant day.
Rob

Welcome to GN Rob! Still young at heart eh....
I'd been messing about with three chords for about 30 years before I discovered GN....then I found the fourth, and a few more since....hope it's as beneficial to your playing as it has been to mine!
:D :D :D

Welcome. I happen to own the same Yamaha. It is a very nice guitar - hope yours is as nice!
Welcome to GN Rob, hang on to that Framus someday it will be a collectors item.
Excellent to have a 60 year old newbie!

Thanks for the welcome!
I still play my Framus when I get the urge to do 12 string stuff, but I am having a problem keeping the upper 4 stings tuned. I tightened the tuning knobs but that doesn't seem to help. The neck may be a bit twisted.
I love the Yamaha. I am learning to do stuff on this guitar that I never thought I would be able to do. I haven't taken any lessons (yet) - I probably will when I reach my first plateau.
I am loving this new phase of my life. I wish I had of started playing guitar when I was younger.
Let me know if you would like to see some pics of my guitars.
Thanks again.
