Hello Telecaster friends

I am new to this forum and this my 1st post! I just got a Mexican Telecaster and I feel like a kid in X-mas! (In a older man kind of way) I am here to make new friends and share and learn from experience of other guitar players here. With funds rather tight, I do not have the means for guitar lessons, however I am learning the major chords on he 1st four frets. Also, I practice 3 different kind of scales(pentatonic) with blues scale included.

I guess you can say I am in "Mary had a little Lamb" type learning mode. I just learned how to play "Stand by me"(Ben E. King) "Imagine" (John Lennon) "Twist and shout " (Beatles) . . . . all chord progressions within the 1st 4 frets.

In the future, I would like to learn some country style guitar with a hint of a Spanish sound......ie......Dwight Yoakum.....Willie Nelson....and perhaps pick like Brad Paisley or Dick Dale.

I could sure use some advice to take me on this path.

Thank you kindly and it is a pleasure to meet all of you!
:D

Welcome Reno2Atlanta,

Congratulations on the fine new guitar and joining a great forum.

However, it is important that you learn and abide by the rules of the forum, none more important than, "If you don't post a photo, it doesn't exist". ;)

Enjoy the new guitar, the learning experience, and a great forum.

Don

Welcome! I also started playing "later in life" and it was one of the best decisions. I really enjoy playing despite not being very good. It makes me happy. There are a number of great websites for free lessons. Personally, I like Justin Sandercoe...check it out.
