   It’s never too late. Buy a cheap guitar and get lessons, and you’ll be rocking out in no time.

   Alternatively, don’t get lessons, but be prepared for it to take longer, and start learning how to read guitar tabs And get a book on how to play. I’ve been playing for 3 years on and off and I’m no superstar, but it’s still good fun (I’m 23).

   It is never to late to learn, I am 27 and my husband is teaching me at the moment. If you buy a beginners book on learning guitar that will teach you the best. Or even get lessons.

   It is great you are giving the guitar a go, you are never too old to learn something new.

   One of my best students EVER was a 65 year old gentleman who wanted to learn how to play his dead wife’s old Gibson… he was retired and had the time to practice and he was a real joy to teach.

   It is never too late. If you really love an instrument, then buy it and learn it. I am self taught in music, from reading, writing, composing and studio PLUS, I repair guitars from major companies like Gibson, Fender, Takamine, Ovation etc..

   The main thing is to but a decent half – priced guitar like Takamine or Yamaha. They are inexpensive, very nice tone and easy to play.
   The rest is up to you . I used to practice 10 hours a day for years on end but, I have mastered my instrument and know the ins and out of it.

   If you need help, go on youTube and you can pick up good instructional videos there.
   Don’;t be discourage because you will see some awesome guitar works there.

   You need to concentrate on basics first to learn guitar. You need to follow these factors, they are

   1. Listening – keep listen to tunes, feel like you are playing that tune.

   2. Practice Daily – beginners need to practice PENTATONIC scales. try to practice 30 – 40 minutes daily.

   3. A good teacher: you may go for a teacher in your area or you can download and learn guitar basics books from Internet, Internet option is better for convenience to save time and cheaper.

   The books from Internet covers lot of topics from basics and have consistent and straightforward methods. Those learn to play guitar books allow anyone to develop their own unique sound on guitar. You will succeed if you follow the lessons regularly. Although no one is ever “finished” learning the guitar, These kind of Books provide a solid foundation on your own musical journey.

   Commitment and determination are the most important keys to success. Talent adds a plus.
   Experiment with your guitar by practicing different tunes. Work hard. Get yourself started in the direction by keeping these things in mind. Never think that you will become a guitarist by without practicing guitar at all!
