How old are you? How old were you when you started playing? Feel free to add you own questions.

Wanted to play since I was 20 when I heard Buddy Emmons on the the Who Knows Where The Time Goes album by Judy Collins, and Al Perkins with Manassas. Trying to play since 40 but no time or a properly working instrument. Now at 62 I have both and I've got further in the last six months than in the last twenty years, entirely thanks to this forum.

Same Age...
Yes, the counting is easy in my case since we're the same age! Unfortunately for me I started just 3 years ago....but making decent progress and loving it!Peter Nylund wrote:Started in 1977 at the age of 16. You can do the rest of the counting

I agree with Papa Joe and Alan.
You stopped the age classifications too short.
I am 75 years young and started on steel guitar 60+ years ago.

I'll be seventy-one in a couple of weeks (so I guess I could've voted!)
Started studying guitar in 1957 and steel maybe fifteen years after that. Still earning my living at it and (mostly) having fun.
