Is 35 too old to learn to play guitar? I've always wanted to, and I have tried in the past but failed miserably.
General Am I too old?

Hey, fuck you. lol
I have a dream of busting out metal riffs with my son and driving my wife nuts.
Could I jump straight to electric and blow my windows out or would it be better to start acoustic?
Oh yea, I'm pretty sure I'm tone deaf.
Acoustic is probably better to start with. Chords and shit.
Electric is easier on the fingers for beginners though.
whats the biggest/loudest amp I can get thats not stupid expensive. I want to really piss off my neighbors.
Not sure.
I have a 500 watt Crate solid state amp from the 80s that will rattle your fillings out.
niceeeeeeee
This seems like a no brainer at this price...what am I missing?
Guess thats a gyyyyyyNUH guitar, so thats a no from me dawg
I would go acoustic if you really wanna learn to play
All these guitar players are telling me to go electric and knock the neighborhood down.
nope
some dudes get good in 6 months
i suck after 25 years
i havent put in the work
electric is easier on the fingers, u can get a small amp thats not very loud
theres beginner packages on amazon for $100, everything u need

I figured I have a solid 3 months minimum to practice 5+ days a week. I can practice in my office while I watch scripts do my work for me.
i've had a couple people tell me the main reason people struggle to learn guitar is that they start with an electric or a cheap acoustic.
I keep threatening to enroll the kids in piano so I can learn.
Lessons would help, or...
Grab a 6 pack of beer, look up the tabs to Crazy Train and rock out with the amp at 11.
I'm thinking of doing the fender online classes, some guy told me it's 60 a year, that seems reasonable. I have discovered Chapman guitars, those seem to be more reasonably priced for a beginner and they look bad ass with their woodgrain.
My Dad is a professional musician
He would tell you to learn acoustic first
Many start on the electric and end up selling it when they realize they should have learned to play before learning to jam
If you just wanna slap on some distortion and play super simple stuff then electric can be fun for a lil while
If you really wanna learn guitar then acoustic is the proper start IMO
Have fun!
Good luck.
You can always have both
haha
i hope your not actually tone deaf
lol
then don't worry about my other post
You probably need distortion and noise on your side
