i started playing february last year an i`m 44 and loving it, i`m the youngest in the class but i`ve made some good friends and even been camping (with a real fire and all that) and looking forward to the next one. I really sucked when i started but now i bash out a half good sound and i`m even picking up the fingerpicking as well, so i don`t think there is any time limit on learning,so go for it!!!!!!!!
