Many of us aspire to be rock stars, taking the stage in a different city each night to wow fans and earn celebrity status. Some of us just want to learn guitar so we can play music for ourselves and have a hobby. Whatever the reason, is there a better time to start learning?
There is no better time to start learning to play the guitar. Young children who want to learn to play an instrument, teens who want to start a band, young adults who want a hobby, and seniors who always wanted to learn but never had time before are in a great place to start learning. It is not something that is age specific and you can learn at your own pace, it is not a race to master a certain chord or be the first to master the entire first songbook.
Playing the guitar is easy to get started. You just need a guitar and the motivation to do it, and the rest is up to you. Like all instruments, you can’t just pick it up and play it beautifully, you need to take your time and practice to achieve your goals. Adults just starting out may be more motivated to practice than children who are a bit fickle when it comes to their activities. While guitars may be the most important one week, karate may be the next. But, of course, there are some young people who excel at playing the guitar and stick with it for their entire lives.
Playing the guitar is said to relieve stress and give people a creative outlet, whether they just play or also write songs to accompany the guitar. It can produce a beautiful sound if it is played well and it does not take that long to achieve a certain acceptable level of reproduction.
In the first one or two months you can expect to learn easy songs, within three to six months you will progress to more difficult songs and in a year you will be able to incorporate riffs and the like into your work. After two years of dedication and practice, you should be able to play most of the songs that you like and then the fun begins when you start collecting guitars and use certain ones for certain songs.
It is never too early or too late to start playing guitar. What are you waiting for?
