Wild hair, taking up guitar lessons at age 58

These are a few of the Amos Lee songs: El Camino; Cup of Sorrow; and Seven Spanish Angels. In case you are considering this type of songs for the guitar. All I know about it is that I've heard them and like them. :)

I like Amos Lee’s “Windows Are Rolled Down.”

I stumbled upon this great piece on YouTube entitled Mark Knopfler on Guitars - incredible what this man can do.

Sam, regarding guitars, I recently watched a story about the Museum of Music somewhere in the northeast US. They have a lot of famous guitars, including the EDS-1275 with double necks. Don Felder wrote and performed the amazing guitar solo on the Eagles Hotel California. The show I watched showed Mr. Felder playing it at the museum. I think that's one of my favorite guitar solos. He taught himself how to play the guitar.
