Learning to play after retirement. I practice1-2 hours per day. about Intermediate level, though you’d rather hear me eat than play.

On the minus side, I have arthritis in both wrists due to 50+ years of karate training (10 years pounding a Makiwara 50x/hand, 5 days/week. Yes, I am aware that was stupid)

On the plus side, I have sufficient funds to purchase good instruments that are easy(er) to play and sound great. Present collection:

• Taylor 114ce
• PRS McCarty 594 single cut
• Fender Player II Telecaster Modified (Open G)
• Gretsch metal resonator (Open G, for slide)
• Traveler electric (for travel)
