Is 27 Too Old To Learn Guitar?

[{-sapob-}]

Learn away old timer.
The key to being a good guitarist is persistence imo.

You say 27 like that's OLD, ffs. GO FOR IT MAN!!!!! Why the hell would you let your age stop you???

And I agree with the last post - guitar is tough, so you have to be persistent.

I started playing guitar at 15, and I still suck 4 years later

I'm not bad at piano but I still am 'basic' on guitar after 8 years. Just don't practice enough, jam too much.

if you want to get good you have to practice for hours everyday. You have to dedicate your life to the instrument, it will piss you off but you just have to man up and take power.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

It shouldn't piss you off, that's the whole point. Passion is passion.

 

[i aint play this]

I actually agree with alteredmind, it will eventually piss you off. There are always these moments when you think you are getting pretty good and all of a sudden you start making mistakes and fuck-ups. It's totally normal, you don't have to practice with a smile on your face all the time, regardless of being passionate about music or not.

I'm currently in one of those periods and it sucks.

It could be argueable that 'back then' was a better time, what with all the baby mozart stuff now, but screw it, there is no better time to learn an instrument.

Eh, you're never too old to learn an instrument, even though it probably will never be in viruous dimensions, but who cares.

I know a guy who learned the didgeridoo with nearly 60.
