I have no problem calling my Jan 1 Goals “Resolutions” as I know what they actually are. I support others who even make desperate resolutions as they may be lost and are reaching out for SOMETHING to make changes in their lives. Here and there, it works. We know those that do this without some sort of resolve and plan normally fail, but hey … sometimes they don’t. I personally have made wishful resolutions that were doomed to fail, but if I didn’t make them, I would have given up before I had started, and that is even worse in my mind.
I still refer to it on a daily basis and I notice coaches in different domains seem to do so as well.
I’ve taken some valuable principles from it.
“Something only becomes a habit by actually DOING it”.
Sounds so simple but I try to practices the “showing up and doing the reps”
This post even takes some ocntent from it directly 
Local facebook groups & yeah, the local music shop. My kids get piano lessons there (a recent thing) so I’m there quite a bit.

I’ve had great success using Meetup.com
There are 6+ different Guitar Jam groups in my area (I’ve been to 3 so far).
Hey Stefan, sorry about your job being made redundant. What an awful time for it too! Hope you find another good one soon 
Love your guitar goals

I have also found that Facebook and Meetup are good places to look.
I just started attending a Song Circle type group that is explicitly beginner friendly…and it really seems to be taking my playing to the next level!

Based on a comment like yours above, I just joined a reasonably local folk song circle that welcomes beginners. I’ve asked “how does this work” and I’m sure they will respond. I’ll jump in, stuff a sock in my f-hole, and have at it. I’ve heard over and over that playing with others is the main catalyst for improvement, and I believe it, so we shall see!
