| Nov 7, 2014 at 7:46 | comment | added | Tim | Once rigour mortis sets in, it's too late. Before that there's always time.Don't delay a day longer. You may or may not catch up with your friend, but it's not a race. It's the fun and satisfaction you achieve for yourself (and others who listen and enjoy your playing). Lots of things are slower to learn later in life. That's no excuse! Or are you using it all AS your excuse...? Oh, and find a teacher. | |
| Nov 7, 2014 at 7:14 | comment | added | Codeswitcher | So... you're saying it's not worth it to you to learn to play guitar unless you're at least as good as, if not better at it than, your friend? I don't mean to be mean, but do you realize that's the upshot of what you've posted here? | |
| Nov 7, 2014 at 3:19 | comment | added | Darren Ringer | I'd say you have an extremely good chance of surpassing your friend's ability if you want to. Technically you could even surpass Hendrix. The main difference is you would probably never attain the fluency that Hendrix had. This might actually be a good thing considering how most music is structured. | |
