# calling all guitar playing type folks
in a nutshell I need some help
I'm approaching another milestone age and now appear to want to learn to play the guitar.
I have owned an acoustic guitar for 20 years.
So far I have worked out which way up it goes.
It has 2 strings missing. I have ordered some new strings. I have also ordered some picks and Guitar for Dummies (yes I have)

Other than the fact that I clearly am a guitar-chump I have no other knowledge on this topic whatsoever. I don't know which string is which. I don't know one single chord. I can't read music (apparently not a problem). As Manuel said, 'I know nothing'

Any advice out there for me?

buy baritone ukulele. Same tuning as the four smallest strings on a guitar, but easier to learn and easily applied to the full size guitar.
