Reporting from Seattle. More of the same here. I'm 59 and play for fun, practicing at home. I have shifted more practice time to solo acoustic fingerstyle including Hawaiian slack key. If I don't find or start a band Plan B is to go it alone. I'm getting close, though. A couple of weeks ago one of our friends said the husband of one of her friends plays surf music, which is what I enjoy playing the most. As others have said, there are a ton of metal players/bands looking for guitar players. I also wish there were metro musician forums like "The Dallas Musician Forum" "The Chicago Musician Forum " or similar where we could find others of similar age and interests. I can see that these metro forums might be too small even in major cities to be economically viable.
