I really appreciate the advise from you folks. It does encourage me to practice more. I have utilized the Steve's Learn and Master the Guitar course as my primary source to learning to play the guitar. Especially in learning how to read music. I can read and play notes better than playing chords. Thank you.

I am a great grandpa and started working on playing the guitar about 2 1/2 years ago. I have, what I think, is a very good guitar. Without giving a brand name I will say that it cost me about $2,000.00. I have been seeing advertisements for guitars that are much, much more expensive. My question is; will a more expensive guitar help in learning how to play? I know that some people may think this is a joke but trust me at 78 years old it isn't a joke. I really do want to learn how to play the guitar, and to play it good. Thanks in advance for your input.
