I'm surprised there are so many people like me between 40 and 60 when the reflexes are gone.

I know what you mean about the reflexes. I started when I was 12, now I'm 51. I'm definitely not as fast as I once was.
But fast is definitely not everything, unless you're one who wants to learn how to shred.
The holy grail of tone is found while learning to play slowly and musically!

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.

Turned 71 last April. I'm now Robert's oldest guitar student. Reflexes? What're those? They'd come in handy, I suppose, as I recently traded a canoe for my son's banjo, and had my first lesson today. How different is that?!

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Man that was depressing, wish we could have voted in tens on the fives. Would love to still be in that 25-35 range but nooooo I've got to click in the 31-40 range. That just sucks. I'm going to go drink some prune juice and try not to break a hip on my way to the bathroom.

Damn this thread, I'm sure it started when I was 55, now I'M 57, shoot and nearly all that reply are a lot younger than me.  
Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.
