Another 50 reporting for duty!

Seems like all the 50 somethings got a summons to report here for guitar lessons. . Right now my arsenal consists of a pretty terrible D chord and a non-existant A chord. Still sticking with it.

Congratulations, George, and welcome! I remember when I started with my very first D chord in 1988, so you’re in good company. After that it was the first eight Sweet Child O Mine lead notes that got me hooked forever and made me believe “hey I can do this!” Keep at it!

-Carl.

Hi and welcome

Yes there are many of us older folks here, best of luck with your studies.

Hi, George and welcome.

I'm 69 years old and trying to transition to electric. Totally enjoying it, though it's both a great joy and frustrating at times but hey, that's what keeps us moving forward!

Enjoy and never stop playing!

I regret my 45 year hiatus from music.

Now we can live the dream.

Be healthy and well

- Steve

Well I would like to throw my hat in the ring here as one of the 50 somethings who also reported for duty here at guitar tricks. I signed up a few weeks ago as a complete newbie to the guitar and am now learning power chords. And guess what? spending a little over an hour a day and Im doing it.

Glad to meet you all!

Agreed! 50 is the new 20. I figured it's time to really commit to this thing since turning 50 in May (happy Covid birthday to me!)

Me too. End of April. It was kind of liberating in a way. I didn't have to choose a restaurant because there was none to choose from. It was just my wife and I for a quiet evening.

"50 is the new 20". Love this!!!

You can start to learn music at ANY age. My Dad started at 78, and it has changed his life.
