I am a 70 yr old male,who loves blues guitar and, while not playing to a very high standard,would like to find others with a similar interest.Playing & practising on my own gets a bit boring.I live South of Sydney & am flexible as to time & place.If there is anyone out there who is interested I would love to hear from you.

what a shame,but I keep hoping,there must be someone out there.-I take lessons,own an Ovation (plus a Strat copy) & small Amp,but to keep me motivated I feel I need some extra stimulation. Are you...

May I suggest if you need a little motivation to listen to Surfing With The Alien - Joe Satriani. Every time I listen to that album it motivates me more and more.
Gary Moore is also a very big influence on me. You should give him a listen. Sadly we've just lost him.
Anyway keep at it!
