I just turned 61 and retired. I used to ski, dance, hike, bike, ride a motorcycle and camp all the time. Due to a multitude of injuries I can no longer do those hobbies I loved. I have always loved guitar and wanted to learn, but was too busy. I thought I was too old, but honestly I need a hobby. I have the time, I Just thought I might be too old. I am not looking to join a band or anything so ambitious, but I would like to have some music in the house.
want some advice? dont call older people newbies. Newbie
Liked subbed and linked. Thanks.
I'm learning more and more, or trying to learn more and more about doing the setup on a guitar. And I'm not sure that this is the proper place to put it but I have a quick question: how can I find out whether the neck is straight. I have a straight edge ruler and I put it down and I look for gaps but now it actually rock on one of the frets. Got to put this question in different places but it's difficult for me to see the relief on Annette and I would like a a better or just tell me how to use the straightedge to find out is your direction of the neck. Thanks as always.
Great stuff. Many thanks.
Thanks for he tips. I learnt a few chords as a teenager and never progressed. Now pushing 70 I have a lot to learn and too many songs that I want to play.
Take care and stay safe.
i can play all the chords, but cant remember songs?
Iâm going to be 60 soon. Want to learn how to play guitar. Should I get and acoustic or electric? I have arthritis in my hands. Heard playing guitar may help.
Erich, I'm a 64 year old who wants to learn guitar heading into my retirement. Am I too late? I bought an entry-level classical guitar with nylon strings hoping it'll be easier on my fingers. Did I make a good choice?
Thank-you, enjoyed this video. It's getting the old left hand to work is my problem, stretching the fingers.
thank you for u'r divine explanation, it's very fruitful I will make good use of it. I Pepe, South Africa.
I'm 59 and want to learn guitar so I can be in a rock n roll band. Play at bars first ,and maybe in a year, play at much bigger venues. I have yet touched a guitar . I am buying my very first one on my birthday January 9th. I have my sights set on a $2500. Breedlove acoustic at The Guitar Center in Langhorne, PA.
As soon as I get that baby home ,I'm gonna start playing. It can't be that
difficult. I can NOT wait ! Who knows ?
In 2 years I maybe cutting my first
CD. Actually its album because of my age. Lol. Anyone reading, don't wish me luck. I don't need luck. I already have Natural born talents. Gutair playing will be one of them real soon !
Hey, thanks to anyone who read this.
Keep your ears tuned in about a year from now . I will be welknown.

I'm starting my second attempt at learning guitar today, at age 67. I think the primary reason I gave up before was that, unless the song didn't have an F chord in it, I felt I'd never be able to play it. (Something about barring three or more strings AND getting my other fingers to do something else was where I hit the wall).
I like your tips for older newbies very much!
I guess I'd have the following questions, though:
Should I stick with practicing a chord, for example, until I can nail it perfectly each and every time, or should I accept occasional errors before moving forward? At what speed should I be practicing chord changes? (I can do them perfectly each time if you give me an empty bar to move my fingers).????
Hi Eric thanks for the tips..I'm 56 started learning two years ago and YES it's been very difficult but practice makes perfect. I find that I just can't concentrate on the theory part so I skip it..My challenge now is Bar chords
Is this the guy Uncle Joey was talking about?
thanks mate
You are so right, I have $2,000 in guitars. I got a $ 1000.00 Fender American Strat, already had nice amp, I really started guitar at 69 sure I learned two chords or maybe three, but remembered them from age 21+/-, donât give up.

Could someone please push my wheelchair a little closer towards him and lead my hand to his face? I would like to slap him đ
Great words of encouragement. I'm at "That Stage" right now. Trying to get more Musical.
Another great video
Great advice. Iâm 50 and starting the 1 on 1 route because it suits me best. Thanks! Iâll keep watching…
I had never played guitar until the age of 50. I started the first four months just learning a few chords, but no real plan. You have some great tips, I would suggest one more. Get an instructor if you can afford it, or someone who is willing to do it for free. They have learned finger placement, rhythm, and usually know or can learn just about any song a beginner can do. Focus on the area of music you like, and start songs that are easy in that area. Focus on doing them well, and practice, practice, practice. Keep that guitar near you wherever you spend time in your house. Oh yea, biggest thing, have fun with it, you are going to get frustrated, if you are trying to get better it is part of playing guitar. Most of all, have fun with it. I am now 54, and try to play every day, Ill never be a pro, but Ill have just as much fun as they do. Don't quit, and best of luck to you!!!!
Thank you for the video! I started playing when I was 16 and after a few years I was getting really good. Then life got in the way. Young family, sold the guitar to survive and never looked back. Until now. Now I'm almost 54 and find myself with plenty of free time in the evenings now that the kids are grown and it's just the wife and I. I'm not going to give up, but I'm feeling like it's so much harder now than when I was 16. I'm trying to remember, did it hurt this much when I first started out back then? Maybe? After more than 35 years I barely remember anything I once knew. I watch videos of songs or riffs and I'm like, ugh, I used to be able to play that or I used to be able do that and it's frustrating to not be able to do what I once found easy to do. Starting over again is a bitch, has anyone else been in the same situation? How did you work through it and how did you keep you keep yourself motivated and not get discouraged?
Could you please learn the banjo and then teach it? You rock as a teacher for us older folks.
Yes I enjoyed this lessons for older newbies such as me, lol. Really enjoyed how you said #2 practice makes perfect, how most people say but you said makes permanent which makes it sick in more!!! Keep 'em coming, enjoy these ads well as all your lessons on the UGS lessons. Growth is beginning to show and these lessons of encouragement helps us from platoueing and teaches us how to continue to set small but reachable goals so we're actually seeing our growth!!! Thanks Erich, I highly recommend the UGS coarses for anyone with the desire to learn this beautiful s sounding instrument, guitar-on Erich ????????????????????
Great video man, thanks for the help I'll sure to keep going at it, it's day 2 ATM ????
In my case I picked up guitar to add a new layer to the synthesizer music I make (think Tangerine Dream etc.). I originally thought I just need to be able to play a few notes to get something usable for my music. That mind set was a great help to me as I could get results almost immediately and not feel frustrated. From there I have progressed to being able to improvise over backing tracks and to add more depth to my own compositions. I should add, I didn't start playing guitar until my late 50's. So my additional tip is to have a very achievable goal in mind when you first start so that you see results almost immediately and then add new goals to keep you focused. I should also add I have no hand/eye coordination and can't play more than one chord at a time, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the guitar. I just set realistic goals.
"Practice makes perfect" – WRONG.  "PERFECT practice makes perfect".
Thanks Erich great advice.
Just finding your channel. Very impressed!! I've had a Johnson Acoustic Dreadnought w/ electric pickups and all that for years. I am serious about learning how to play it now and it has always been a challenge because I don't like the finger pain. Call me a pansy! If I'm very strict and practice for at least 15 minutes a day, how long is average for a person to develop the callouses needed to ease the finger pain, and probably more importantly, the ping that comes every time that you lift your finder off the string cuz your finger is sticking to the string?
âHave some sort of a planâ. Thanks to your generosity to us Veterans, here shortly I will have a step by step plan. I drastically need one cause I bounce around from one thing to another constantly, never mastering anything.
Look forward to classes.
