Hello from a small town in Poland. I’m 42 years old and I started learning to play the guitar not too long ago. Initially, I began with the electric guitar, but I soon also got an acoustic one, which at the moment gives me more pleasure - something that surprised me. My progress is slow because I don’t have much time for it, but since I’m doing it for pleasure, there’s no rush.

Cześć, Marcin! 
It’s so nice to be able to welcome another fellow-countryman here.
This is a very nice, friendly community, providing an excellent environment for learning, sharing experience and music, or just chatting 
I’m sure you’ll soon feel at home here.
I’m at an age of retirement, so I have plenty of time for playing (chiefly electric guitars).
I wish you good luck and lots of satisfaction from your learning process. It is, indeed, lots of fun!
Pozdrawiam,
Tomasz

Hi Marcin,
Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun 
Luckily for you, learning slowly is a good thing with guitar… neatly and slowly then the music will naturally emerge 
and than later when lots of time is there for you

Welcome, Marcin! Like you, I’m surprised how drawn I am to my acoustic guitar. There’s something about the simplicity of an acoustic that I find pleasing. You’ll have many more guitar-related surprises in your future!

Welcome Marcin!
I took the same way - moving from electric more to acoustic and can relate!
Warm welcome, have fun with the guitar and the community!

Hello Marcin & Welcome!!!
Both electric & acoustic have their good points & drawbacks. I think it’s good to find a balance between the two… that way when you’ve moved from the Beginner stages towards Intermediate Level guitarist, you’ll be proficient on both!
The key is finding what is fun & brings you the most joy… when you’re happy playing, you’ll play more & the more you play, the better you get, the more joy you experience!!!
Enjoy learning & getting better every day!!!

Welcome to the community Marcin. I too find myself enjoying acoustic more than electric, but have been playing electric more lately because of the Blues Immersion Course that I am taking from Justin. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome, Marcin!
If you don’t have a lot of time for the guitar, I hope you’ll stay with it anyway.
One day, I’m sure, you’ll really enjoy it and it pays you back all the hours you invested!
Hello Marcin.
Good on you for thinking it is okay to progress slowly.
Music isn’t a race … it becomes a lifelong easure.

Hi Marcin, welcome. As far as you can set aside some time for practice of the lessons and the songs you want to learn on a regular basis progress will come. It doesn’t have to be hours and hours each day (and the last can lead to physical issues like any other overtraining). Have fun.
