@Nancy15 Hi Nancy. I’m Gordon also from Scotland. I’ve just stumbled across your introductory post. There are a few of us from up here on the forum now. Welcome to the Community. You’ll get lots of helpful advice and comments when you feel ready to post something on AVoYP. The singing part will be nae bother to you as you’ve been/are in a choir.
I’m 10 years older than you and started learning guitar when I was 64 so you are a youngster!
Have a look here and you’ll see we are oldies but goodies. 
Older guitar students - can ‘old dogs’ learn new tricks?
