I am about to start lessons for guitar, however I just wanted to know if I am to late to start a band or go solo as an indie artist? How many months or years will it take to just strum some chords and sing with a band or myself? Thank you very much!
Its all about your motivation and how you look at it. Is 23 years worse than 22? You’re still pretty young and have your entire life to learn more and more. As far as the time frame goes, it’s up to your intensity. An hour or two a day will get you strumming chords in about a week, a few months you’ll be putting those chords together into songs. I’ve seen people who’ve played for only 6 months get into solos and you couldn’t tell they just started 6 months ago. The first couple months are the most frustrating, but if you stick with it you may just find a rewarding life long hobby.
