Welcome. A 40 plus year gap for me, after about a year. I could do a few open chords. These lessons are well structured and this community is friendly and helps sometimes with issues you may be experiencing.
With more free time now than during my first attempt, this is working for me and I hope it also works for you.

Great stuff, I dreamed of playing for many years before I finally got serious at the age of 53, 10 years later I’m SO glad I stuck with it. It’s such fun to be able to play. Look forward to hearing your progress.

Welcome Angela! There’s something about us 40’s folks wanting to learn guitar it seems! Hope you’re having a blast with it so far.
I’m also in Surrey, good to hear of a kindred spirit in the same county now

I wish you the best in your endeavors. I started when I was 41 but had to stop before I got too deep into it because we moved from one state to another. Now I’m 74 and determined to start all over again. So take heart, it is never too late to get into the guitar.

Welcome Angela! You’ve come to the right place.
Like you, I began guitar many years ago, put it down and just picked it up again a year ago. Justin’s courses will be a big help to you.
Age is just a number.

Hello and welcome, Angela.
I wish I was 42 again. I started playing 50 yrs ago and then gave it up for quite a while. Now that I’m retired and I find that I have more time than I know what to do with I bought myself something that I’ve wanted for a long time - a Fender Strat and now I’m back in the game, so to speak. What I have found is that I haven’t forgotten much knowledge-wise as diminished physical ability. i.e. my fingers aren’t as flexible and nimble as they used to be. But I have all the time in the world to figure it out.
Go for it girl and best of luck.
Jeff
