Thanks topdown.

Think my arrangement with my instructor may be coming to an end (he hasn't been able to give me a lesson since mid Dec) so I'll probably be looking to soak up some advice from the forum on next steps too.

Cheers

Hey guys

Age wise you guys are a little ahead of me (1971) but my driver for starting was an injury that meant I couldn't play any sport for 1 year.  Like you I have no desire to be in a band but I do like the idea of playing a few tunes for me and some mates every now and again.

After all that I've been playing for about 10 months and went down the 1:1 lesson route.  My instructor is a great guitarist but isn't following structured progamme.  This either means that I'm not as far on as I could have been or it is a good thing because he exposed me to all of the above (and more) as part of our wanderings.

Although I wouldn't consider myself very good at any of it we have covered

Lots of songs
Scales (Major, Pentatonics, Phrygian
Basic open chords
THE F CHORD (a nightmare if ever there was one)
Barres
Finger picking styles
Bass strum style
Changing strings
and even one very odd session on electric guitar

Maybe a couple of lessons could point you in the right direction.  It doesn't have to be a long-term arrangement ...

Hope this helps?
