Best thread EVER right here. I'm so stoked to see all these people who are realizing that it's never to late to strive for something. I'm only 32 but I'd like to think that there is SOME wisdom in my age and I am CONFIDENT that there actually is no such thing as "can't teach an old dog new tricks." Pick up the guitar at age 85 and prepare to be a master before you die because it CAN be done! No one here should be concerned that they don't have enough time or mind capacity to play an instrument. Let's get practicing!
