[Superman]

It's fun. I'm joining a band and I have 40+ songs initially to work on. I'm a gigging bassist and I play 3 or 4 hours per night, which is upwards of 50 songs. Anyhow, much of the music is Country and quite simple. 1-4-5 stuff (E-A B for example, or D-G A, etc.). 1-4-5 songs are very basic but form the background of a great deal of rock, blues and country music. Frankly, the stuff I (and everybody else) likes the best is this blues progression (variants of 1-4-5). You probably like it too. Start there.

Or Canadian stuff. With all due (and immense) respect, lots of that Canadian stuff is two-three chords for the whole song. Easy Schmeezy. And sounds great.

One of the songs I am learning is Oh! Pretty Woman, which I have not played before. Different animal. Lots of various interesting chords. The point is that you start with the easy stuff...Eagles, Gordon Lightfoot...or heavier stuff (Iron Man was the very first song I learned) but keep it simple and you will have quick successes.

It is also helpful to take lessons or....do what I did and get together with other guys who have acoustic guitars and learn and play with them. This experience teaches you very quickly.

I'm excited for you. I turned 60 last month and I'm having a BLAST with music again. Was pretty competent in high school and college then gave it up for 30 years. Took it back up again 4-5 years ago. Having a blast. Music is VERY complex. Makes physics seem easy. Totally creative and rewarding. Good luck.
