Realistically, do you think I can play a few songs in a year or so or is that unrealistic? At my age I would love to be able to just memorize songs I like and play them. I guess I should ask what's the best way to learn? I used to play the violin many years ago when I was in middle school and jr high and was quite good. Haven't picked up an instrument since then until now. Not sure if I should go take and pay for lessons or just try to self teach myself with KZbin. Anyway, any help will be appreciated. Sure wish I would've bought a guitar years ago but life got in the way. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

some of the most under-rated desert themes were done with this style of fretting, the key is classic & it's timeless sounds, points of clarity & an unspoken expressiveness tells yesterday that we were not so far, away.. as for today, the ageless music is played in foreground & kept from growing old - a condition which is built into very few tale and reference ballads; this was as it remains, everlasting, often thought of as a thing written for all people, both youth & elders.. if you have watched the movie, it is hard not to hear the timpani & vocalizations accompanying the lengthy intro credits and titles..
