My husband will be 57 next month, but these other members have him beat! He's read through a lot of the posts and says he's going to give a try. I think it will be fun to watch what happens. Thanks for joining in.
Andy,Chas is in his 90's, Bear I think is late 80's as for me I'm just a kid here at 52 and all of us are having fun whether we get better or not. It's the journey that makes the trip worth it. Tell him to go for it.

Playing a musical instrument is a great way to stay in the mode of remembering how to learn and learning how to remember ... that is surely a positive as birthdays accumulate ?
And all the muscle coordination that develops means connections in the brain are growing, and all.
Jean, I'm not sure if this will help your husband find his car keys, but at least he can stay home and play with musical keys

P.S. Tom, a dick can also be an intellectual snob ... they are not mutually exclusive :silly:
The idea that a guitar teacher would even think such a thing makes me grind my teeth ...... The guitar teacher said at my age it was probably a waste of time as it's harder to learn as you get older.

Tom, your teacher was either a Dick or an intellectual snob to tell you it was probably pointless!

Age is no barrier, is really what I'm saying. I have improved from day one at TG. It just takes practice.

Well, Pierre, he does have trouble finding his car keys frequently, but we'll see if he spends some time trying to learn. He said he will. I will keep everyone updated if he takes off with it.
