I am over 45 and always wanted to play in a band playing rock Just gather a band together, ask around and advertise. There must be plenty of people in your situation that are not all age 14. Playing in a band is the best school ever and then catching up on the details and new stuff here at the same time, you'll learn quickly. -------------------- My bands homepage
All time favourites: B. Streisand - Woman in Love, M. Hopkin - Those were the days, L. Richie - Hello |

Thanks Guys really helpful..but what about the music reading..how important? and how far should i take it? Its up to your own preference - the theory I would say is important if you want to write your own songs and progress to writing more inventive solos and licks, but you can get by with TABs - music reading is probably more important if you want to be a session musician. I learnt how to read music at school, I just never use it in a guitar context (and consequently my abilities have atrophied over the years!). -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
