I started at 59, although had been playing the Ukulele for a few years, mostly tenor and baritone. I bought a Taylor Dreadnaught last May, 2014, and folloed it up with a local CraigsList Fender Electric Jaguar and have never looked back. Just keep playing and it will come to you...not as fast as some kid, but we 50+ guys have secrets they'll never learn(!).

Follow these lessons, however, they are very good. I was picking up too many self taught shortcuts and cheats and tricks and decided I should go back to basics before I get in too deep (chording barre chords with my left thumb, for instance, a short cut version for A string Barre chords, and things like that).

In my opinion---each minute that you are playing (or learning), is a minute that you do not age!
