Great article! I purchase an Alvarez guitar nine years ago with the intention of learning to play the guitar for the reasons you mentioned above. However, other life commitments and life changes kept me from doing so. I was in my early 30’s then. Now I am in my early 40’s, have a family, and feel a bit more settled in life. A few days ago, my 20 month-year-old son was attempting to play my guitar, not realizing that he was more likely to damage it than produce a melody. I did my best to explain to him (knowing that he would probably not understand) that it needed to stay on the guitar stand. I then looked at my guitar, picked it up, and stared playing chords and practicing a finger exercise along the guitar neck. My wife asked my son, “are you listening to papi play the guitar?” It suddenly felt like the right time to start practicing again.

Because of my renewed interest, I immediately began studying chords and reading about people who start playing the guitar later in life. This morning, I came across your web site and saw the article posted above. I am glad I read it! Very inspirational! Thanks!

HI Ian,

I’m teaching many students in their 40′s, 50′s or 60′s and they rock! All it takes is hard work, perseverance and passion and it will pay off.

Hi Jake,

I recommend to find yourself a decent guitar teacher and study as much as you can. That’s the fastest route.

Hi,. I really enjoy listening to acoustic guitar. I have been given a guitar and would really love to learn to play it. The trouble is that I can\\\\\\\’t wait and want to learn to play as fast as possible. Any ideas about how to learn quickly?

this for me, is the best ever motivation I have received, in my love for playing the guitar. and i think many of my friends who come to me to learn will for ever also be grateful.

Klaus, I bought myself a Martin for my 60th birthday because I was inspired by your site and some of the great blues instruction that is now available online. Good luck in your endeavors my friend!
