Hi all, I live in Fleetwood Lancs England and I started playing guitar back in 1958 when I was 14. I am now 63 and after a few stops and starts on electric and then on classical I'm back playing again after an absence of maybe 10 yrs. I am rubbish but I get a lot of pleasure out of playing and it gives me an oportunity to set myself some goals now I have retired.
Bless you all and enjoy.

Go for it, you will get a lot of satisfaction from playing the guitar.  I am 63 and have within the last few weeks decided to start playing again after a very very long absence. I am no brilliant guitarist but now I have retired; I find it's a great way to spend a little free time. 
There is no short cuts to learning and don't be put off learning to read music, it's a lot easier that you may think, and for me, easier than the tab method. Practice practice practice.
Good luck and enjoy.
