She could be as ugly as a mud fence and from this vantage point, it wouldn't matter.

My midlife crisis makes me look for a new beginning in life, and I want it to become the beginning of my personal music career. I don’t want to become a professional, but just learning to play the instrument has always been my dream that I haven’t managed to fulfil up until now.
I finally have the money and the time for exercise because I was too busy working in my 20s. If anyone of you is this age – don’t repeat my mistakes. You can earn all that money in the future, but you will never be in your 20s again.
Only now, I’m studying different types of guitar picks and guitars to choose the one that would fit me the most. Hope it’s not too late for me.

Ah, the dilemma of which pick you use. Most guitar players I know use the heaviest pick they can find, it brings out the tone of the guitar. A thin, limp pick makes playing more of a struggle. Now, I have a few favorite picks, my go to pick is a Wegan heavy, 1.1mm, they come in a 3 pack for $15. They are a phenolic material and don’t wear out or break. Next up the line is my Blue Chip 1.1mm. This pick is the closest you can get to a pick that makes zero pick noise. Again made of a phenolic material, and they cost about $40 apiece. My top of the line, go to pick for big important gigs is my trusty old tortoise shell pick. Tortoise shell picks are the most coveted pick you can hope to find. The tone you get out of one is unmatched, and if you can even find one, it’s gonna set you back at least $100. They’re brittle, somewhat fragile, but once you use one, you will want to use it all the time.
