how old is every one? (Page 11 of 12)

51 playing for 4months

52,...been playing since I was 17, my first guitar was a Fender Stratocaster, acoustic's are a pain in the butt. I encourage all new players to get an electric guitar first, cause most of the music you love is electric, and with all the cool stuff on the market, you can get a great sound the will inspire you to greatness. Make your next guitar an acoustic.

I may ave answered this some time back, but I am older since then.  I'm 62, feel 30 and look 70

I was 65 last birthday and decided that this is enough, so next birthday I will be 64 .

Roger

I have a few years for this,,,, quite a few, Maybe thats when my light will shine brightest

Oh just turned 42,, not sure how Old I was during first post LOLOL

Currently 60...and decided I needed a guitar when I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and saw hundreds of girls screaming.

Hi, I am new here.  My name is rob, but y'all just might call me grandpas.  I am 56.  Had an old warn out guitar since I was 14.  Never did get good playing.  Only knew C, G, and D.  Last year had heart surgery, when I got home from the hospital, my wife got me a Fender Kingman. Trying to learn to play now.  Just learned how to play a few barre chords.  Chordie is helping me to learn a lot of new stuff.  Thanks for being here for us old coots.

53 now.

Welcome to all you newer folks.  I think most of us started early in life and then put the guitar away for lots of years before coming back to it again.  For those just starting, hang in there and practice and play every day.  You will get better with time.

Welcome Dave! you have found a great site, the talent here ranges from beginners to PROs like yourself.  hang out in the general chat take part in various topis and you will soon feel as if you know us all.I woul be interested to know more about your playing history and types of music.
Thanks for joining in to the best little guitar family you can hope to find!

Thanx Metalizer. When I was 7 yrs young I lived on the west side of Chicago. Got hooked on music by sitting out side blues clubs. By the time I was 10 I knew a lot of them old folks by name. At 14 I was jamming with the likes of sunnyland slim, Buddy guy, john lee hooker, and on and on. Sure had a huge impact on what my life would become. I've played in quite a few blues bands with some very good players. I got to travel a lot with a rock band that was trying to (make it). After I didn't make it I played with a cover band to pay bills. Now I play with a outlaw type country band and an original boogie blues band. Mostly now I just have a real good time.  I'm not bragging or anything just been very lucky to get to do what I love and make a humble living out of it.
Oh, I did get to live in Jamaica for a year playing with a reggae band but that's a whole other story. If you keep your expectations under control and you don't mind putting in a lot of time and soul in it anyone can do it. But the pay off is not monetary. Well I see I'm rambling again so I will chat at ya all later.
ps  didn't mean to hijact this thead. peace, Dave.

Thanx Roger. I'll head on over and see. I don't talk a lot but sometimes I just get stated and the stories I could tell. Till the little lady stops me. But cool thanx again.
