Hi Michael, welcome. Good you got inspired to retake the guitar and used that inspiration to work from the basics. For sure your experience playing bass and playing live with a band should facilitate some things. For others it may be a new amazing world. Have fun.
Hi Michael and welcome to the Community … from another north-easterner.
This is a great place for chat and encouraging support when you need it.

I actually met this Michael at the local guitar club on Wednesday, small world this guitar playing thing.

PS we now have five Michael’s in the guitar club all very confusing at times.

Hey Michael! Welcome!
I have a similar story (and maybe the same guitar?) I was in Scotland a few months ago and was inspired by all the music I heard there to get back into the guitar. I love playing my Alvarez and I’m having so much fun learning and being bad at guitar.
Thanks Richard. Everyone’s been very welcoming. I’ve been enjoying working through Grade 1 and getting back into playing and discovering new music. I’m pleased I finally joined the community.
Cheers Eric. That’s great that you got inspired to get back into guitar. I really like my new Alvarez - might treat it to some new strings this weekend! And I’m sure your guitar playing is just fine!
That is so cool - that you both meet in the same group.
Five men all named Michael. You’re taking the Michael aren’t you! haha
Five men named Michael
Could be a band name

The five Michael’s could happen, two have played bass, two who singer, other good guitarists and a novice like me. But what genre, Motown comes to mind like the Four Tops.
Watch this space!

PS at the Christmas concert I was in with two other Michael’s, so anything is possible.
You play My Guy and change it to My Cal
