I'm 53 (really). It depends. Of course we don't have much time ahaead of us like a 14 yo. Life expectancy is around 80. So knowing that to become a master you need 30 years of practice its not realistic. But If stick to it then in 2 to 3 years we can play and entertain our families maybe even try to play in a group with friends meaning all just for fun. I don't think we intend to become professional players at least I dont. But playing in a garage ( garage band yeah !) with friends would be great. Let's do this!
