Hi! My name is Jessi and I'm from Germany. I'm very old now (my hair starts to get grey and my life seems to be over ), but it just came into my mind to play an instrument. And its told that it's never too late to start playing guitar. I must say that I never played any instrument in my whole life (my mom did even forbid me to play a flute because she hates it) BUT: I'm sure I'm a wasted talent if I don't try :ffp: Well, my taste in music is maybe a bit different than yours. I hear girls stuff like FOO FIGHTERS, Jack Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Richie Sambora (sometimes ), Mark Knopfler (just the instrumental stuff - don't like his voice ). Sometimes I like listening to classical music. Yet I apologize my bad english, when my private translator isn't present (even if he is attended, english isn't getting better ) Ok, I'm happy to be part of this great community and I hope to learn how to play a guitar, at least a little bit, before I get .... 40? See you in the forum! Hello, You are never to old to learn in instrument, and since you aren't even 40, you aren't that old. I recommend starting here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Bear-Rose/ Good luck, and welcome to the community. PS. We have a lot of people on the forum with English as a second language, and we even have a few Germans. There is no need to worry about not having mastery over the English language. -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

Willkommen Jessi
You're right that it is never too late to start learning guitar and we're all here to help. I also agree with Nihilist with checking out the lessons of Bear Rose, they cover really important basic techniques like strumming and chord shifting https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Bear-Rose/ |

Thanks for the nice welcomes and encouragements. I'll check Bear Rose' lessons right after struggling through Andrew Cockburns first steps.
You see: I'm a bloody beginner |
