Hi Carolyn, welcome to the community.
Agree. Adding some practical music theory to the mix has helped my playing and ability to create the sounds I want.

Welcome.
Someday I’ll try music theory, maybe in winter when I may have more time.

I think I need an LP style guitar in the stable, kinda lookin at CMG Guitars Ashlee model, played one yrs ago and it was very nice. Seems like a good place to start looking, maybe the Sire line as well

)
Hello Roger here,
According to my own thoughts, I now join you Old Dogs and I will do a little better my best to give you a warm welcome here 
, with an increased risk that because of all those extra words several of us oldies will not make it to the end of this long Topic get it… OOoo no no I don’t mean thát 
no not what Brian @brianlarsen meant many posts above of course with already one leg in the …
. I mean some of you will falling asleep in between 
I think/feel it is quite an honor to post this here , myself and everyone around us never thought…several times for multiple reasons that I would reach 50…and then in this way with this fantastic community and above all the ridiculously good and nice lessons attached to this community (or was it the other way around??? )
My special thanks first to Justin and then Lieven @LievenDV Richard @Richard_close2u David @DavidP (for keeping us in line, never to be underestimated and vital to the community … never take this for granted 
)

Did you by any chance hit your head when you threw yourself down the stairs? 
Should we interpret this as ‘It’s my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to?’ 
I’ve wished you Happy Birthday on the wrong day before, but just in case you are one of the ‘more sensitive’ Dutchmen, here you go again:
*Happy Birthday, dear Rogier… * 
(You can already play guitar, what new trick are you going to try to learn?

Do I see ‘No Entry’ signs surrounding the number 50 in your post? Is that symbolic.
Happy birthday young man.

Yes Brian It is today
Thank you @Alan_1970 @brianlarsen @Richard_close2u
yes, certainly, but it was at the bottom of the stairs, not from the stairs
Repeat and repeat…don’t forget your brakes you fool ,and drive with feeeeeling,and incorporate that into a song 
Thank you 
And Richard,
No not really symbolic, it had to be a traffic sign with 50 in it or a STOP sign, but too long at the computer to look it up is actually not that good for my neck, shoulder and back … so it was a matter of convenience…
And Thank you

Well, well, well, Happy Birthday my friend. Officially an old fart now. Don’t start smelling the place up. 
.
Seriously though, I do have some understanding of the health struggles you must have faced upon your journey to 50, and I tip my hat to you .
Hopefully, this place continues to keep you young and inspired as it does me.
All the best Roger.
PS. I think a short improv or original solo is in order to celebrate the milestone.
Cheers Shane.
