Have got through Grade 1 Module 1, bit more practice and its on to Module 2. It’s taken a while to get into it but hopefully I’ve got a strong practice regime going now. My neighbours are still walking round with ear plugs each time I pick up my Stratocaster, think several are planning on moving away 
…but I’m enjoying the learning. Maybe I ought to learn to sing too…

Paul, this is it ! Enjoy the ride. Neighbours are so passe !
Great stuff, and you’ve kept your sense of humour! How good is that!!!
I plug headphones into my amp. Not so much for neighbors as for my wife of 50+ years!

Just tell the neighbors it was guitar or bagpipes, they’ll be happy you chose guitar.

UNPLUG IT, Love is…putting up with your partner foibles
@Libitina is right! Unplug it and buy her a bass or drums and play together 
50+ isn’t a reason for not making music

Well done Paul, you’ve started now, you’re not allowed to stop!!
I’m with everyone else, unplug and let rip, that way everyone gets to hear and appreciate your improvement / progress! 
Carry on with the enjoyment, it ramps up as you go on

Nope. She doesn’t like the same kind of music I do. I’m fine with headphones. I wouldn’t like it if she played opera through an amplifier.

I don’t have that problem - came home one day and my wife to be had emptied the place…but she did leave my Stratocaster, hence that I get to practice (badly 
) whenever I want 
OMG! That’s awful! But so glad she left your Strat!! 
Take up singing too, why not… I had several neighbours sell their houses and move away when I started learning to sing (maybe coincidence… maybe not ) Just go for it, I reckon. Enjoy!
Singing it is then…can’t be any worse than my guitar practice…
