I am 71 and I bought my first guitar 10 weeks ago(acoustic). I always wanted to learn to play but maybe I was afraid of failing. Being at home during COVD, I decided to give it a try. It has only been 10 weeks and it is a struggle but I have not missed a day of practice. My fingers are still hurting a lot. I know that age will slow me down but I am enjoying it most days and I am determined to hang with it.
