Start anytime. it's never too late to start.
Totally agree! :) Thanks for the comment and for watching Nkiru. #BTA236 Shine
You are 100% Correct!!!!! Great message.
I've had guitar students begin at 50 ... 60 ... 70 years old and older. Many have gone on to do amazing things! ; ) No ... they're not Michael Jackson... but guess what ... that wasn't their goal. One wanted to accompany at her place of worship (did it), one wanted to perform at small clubs and wineries (did it), one wanted to play guitar for his grandkids while they sat around a fire pit and made s'mores! (Done!).
I would add ... distance yourself from negative people--- naysayers who say 'you can't do that'! (Like one of the commenters in this thread). Negativity is poison that just might rob you of what could have been. You'll know who they are pretty quickly-- they hide behind comments like, "Oh ... I'm NOT negative ... I'm a realist!" These are often people sitting on the sidelines secretly wishing they played guitar (or other goal). One final story. When I started working in a mar Yes ... you can start any age.
according to wikipedia, Grandma Moses started painting "in earnest'' at age 78. she lived past 100, and hung out w/ JFK (who's personal regard for her is undeniable, if you read his eulogy for her).

1. Not one drop of my selfworth depends on your acceptance of me.
And I love the advice of his dad: Once a talk has just begun, never leave it 'till it's done. Leave a labor great or small, do it well or not at all.♡
Thanks for the comment Mariska. :) Yes, our self worth should not depend on others acceptance and we should do our best in everything that we do. Thanks for watching. #BelieveNation #BTA236 Shine

😊 #Believe - Feb
There were two rules for me. Master your craft, which means to me study ,be prepared,and
never give up. I learned and applied one of Mr. Jones' Proofs in college ,not realizing until some 30 years later. A Quincy quote- "When People say "you can't do that, I say "oh really"? My TV instructor could not believe that I secured permission to bring a television college crew, document and record on a major Film and Television union lot...He said, "Oh Eric , you'll never be able to get "us" on the Universal Studios property.. I did, and produced a documentary on Animals and how they are trained (Ray Berwick) on make-up (John Goodwin and) stunts(Rick Baker.."Reverse Celluloid(1975) Then "in the 90's I met Mr. Jones several times... and marketed several QWEST projects at WEA New York.(full circle) E. "Stuart" Johnson- L.A. Ca. Thank You, Evan..
Thanks for sharing your awesome experience Eric. Inspiring! :) #BelieveNation #BTA241 Shine

As a composer and arranger I agree with Quincy's every word. How inspirational!

i LIKE THE RULE THAT SAYS YOU CAN START AT ANY TIME.
Thanks for watching :) #BTA1360 Veljko
My favorite rule was Always be Prepared
ALWAYS BE PREPARED. "My Biggest Fear, and i Don't Play with that Word, my Biggest Fear is to get a Great Opportunity that i'm not Prepared for." - Quincy Jones #MYTRUTH "and that's the biggest compliment man, and accomplishment, you can have in your life; is you can say, i got my stuff together, I GOT MY SHIT TOGETHER!!!" - Quincy Jones GREAT

Amen Q even if I were who they say I am I'd still love myself. Loving oneself is not an easy thing to do. Others whove attained this. DO NOT LET THEM ROB U!
Thank you for sharing with us and thanks for watching Jacqueline :) #BTA1181 Luka
Love yourself! If you can’t love yourself how do you expect someone to love you.. I love that.♥️. Take what God has givin you and make the best out of you. Create a new you, if you don’t like what you see in the Mirror. Create this new person in your mind first with what you have. How ? See yourself in a different light. God created us and made each one of us unique! Cherish the gift of God’s love.♥️. If God loves you and he truly does you must love yourself as well.
