Since as a kid i wanted to learn and master the guitar.
One day i woke up and realised i was turning 50.
Before i knew it i turned 52.
I am from the beautiful island of Trinidad in the caribbean.

I played guitar as a kid, then dropped it. When I turned 50 my wife bought me a nice guitar. Yay! Now I'm 62 and I just bought another. You're never too old and GT will get you playing. Time is the challenge. So many things to do and so little time. Enjoy!

Its amazing though, when i was a kid i had time to spare, now i can bearly find time to do half the things i need to do, but yet enjoying what little time i get with my guitar.

I too am an older learner, and like Martintrini just can not seem to find the time I once had. Working hard on the discipline to practice on a more regular basis. Seems at 61, I would have more self control lol. Keep up the good work and good luck to all.

Me too. Owned guitars most of my life, but it only started to make sense a couple of years ago. I've played every day since, trying to make up lost time (67 and a half!)

So great to hear all the stories of returning to the love of guitar! It's pretty amazing to be able to learn how to play an instrument, especially something as timeless and treasured as guitar.

Good luck to you guys coming back!
