I am 34 years old and have no music back ground though I have been wishing if I could play guitar.
Here is my question.
1.34 years old is too late to start learning playing a instrument with no music back ground.
2.What kind of guitar is good to start with?I like country and musicians use both acrostic and electric guitar. Which should I choose? Any specific name or brand?
3.Is there any lesson DVD that you recommend.
4.Other advice for learning
Unfortunately, my friends do not play music and I have no idea about the issue. Please help!
Thank you
No, you're not too old. You're never too old. You just have to be patient and practice daily. I'd start with the acoustic guitar because there is less hassle. Yes, you will have to tune it, so you might consider buying a tuner. However, whatever guitar (electric or acoustic) is what you will be most comfortable playing. That means if you learn on an acoustic guitar, that will always be your "comfortable" instrument. Yes, you can play the electric, but it won't be as "comfortable" as the acoustic. Hope you understand what I mean.
I'd look on the internet for basic chords or you can go to music store and buy a basic chords book. I have never done a DVD so I can't recommend anything.
I'd start with a guitar that's probably $100-$150. You don't want to spend too much so you can get accustomed to playing (and you might find out that guitar is not for you). That way you don't feel like you wasted your money.
I hope this helps you!
