I’ve had over 10 emails recently from ‘older learners’ worrying that they started too late to learn guitar and might never be able to play well. Can we define ‘older’? Some people in their late 20s think they started too late. So while I see this as primarily a mind game, there are some physiological impacts for learners over 60-ish which we’ll come to in a bit. You’re an older learner if you think you are, but that bit is just in your mind.

My earliest memories are with guitars and music; it wasn’t ever a choice, it just was. However, the majority of my professional guitar player friends started in their late teens; some in their late 20s and a handful that in their 40s.
