Wow, thank you so much for posting this. I’m sixteen and I’ve been playing the piano for almost a year and I love it–but I would LOVE to learn to play the guitar as well. Prior to reading this, I was worried I was “too old” and that I would never become as good as those who started out at like five. But reading this has really inspired me to do it! I want to start taking lessons this summer :) Thanks so much!

Hi, thankyou so much for your article. I have just srarted playing on a full size guitar at 62 but finding it a bit hard picking which is my preferred method after learning classical guitar for a while when i was 21. I am also teaching myself chords as well. Sore fingers and not get anywhere quickly and sometimes frustrated but I am really enjoying :)
Do you think I could be better off with a 3/4 size?

I am 47 and have just started playing the guitar, Always had this passion tried it for 6 months when is was about 23 but had to let go to get life right. Not satisfied with some guitar teachers i have out here but trying to learn out of the internet… and it sure is great. I can relate to many of the posts out here….. barre chords are painful and some of them 7 chords too but then i guess it is all about persistence and practice eventually you get it. Anyway at this age you learn to play for your yourself and the passion/love for the instrument. Someday’s you just get it right some days not so good…. but not giving up so easily…. hoping i will be a decent player by the time i turn 50.

Liked your article a lot. I wanted to learn to play music when I was in secondary school in Ireland but was put off by the teacher who laughed in my face when I told her. She said if I wanted to learn to play “proper” music I should have started when I was six years old not thirteen. It took me almost forty years to finally decide the **** with her and start to learn to play rather than just strumming at home

Awesome article, Klaus! Thank you! I am 50 and got my first guitar at 15, but never kept at it. I’ve recently become motivated to try to play my Strat more diligently due to the mounting desire to be able to get all of my creative musical ideas from out of my head and onto the instrument. Your article gives me hope that it’s never too late. Thank you!

@ Ashley
Absolutely best to get an actual teacher for weekly lessons. Im 28 and have been taking lessons for about a yr now and have made twice the progress as the previous 7. Of course I have been practicing much more the past year. Like he mentioned in the article the better you get the more fun it is! So very true. All I ever want to do is play guitar now. Literally. But I really wish I had started taking lessons when I first started playing because I developed quite a few bad habits that I’ve had to work through. No book or video will notice your holding the pick wrong or answer a direct question. I honestly think everyone should start taking lessons as soon as they start playing. Many people immediately get frustrated and give up, but that might not happen if you have someone to tell you what your doing wrong.

As for the type of guitar I say go for an electric assuming it fits the style of music you want to learn. They are WAY easier to play than an acoustic. I got an acoustic when I was 20, learned a few songs, then didn’t touch it for months. Then I’d pick it back up for a few months. Then it’d sit in a corner for months. Then I got my first electric when I was 26 and I was hooked. Instantly better just because the stings are so much easier to push down/ bend. I would love to be able to go back in time and A) start lessons immediately and B) got an electric. Im sure I would be 10 times the guitar player I am now if I had done both of those! Hopefully you can get it all right from the start and maximize success!

Sorry for such a long post but, this is info I feel very strongly about lol
Oh and as far model of guitar. Can’t go wrong with a fender stratocaster. Even a squier strat wouldn’t be bad if looking to spend less. Light and comfortable.
