how old were you when you first tried to learn guitar? i think i was 14 years old when i tried to learn how to play the guitar.. at first i really find it hard since i got very long nails.. but the moment i cut them, playing the guitar was easier.. playing the guitar is fun specially when you got a good voice.. not like me, music doesnt like me.. lol

I got my first guitar for my 18th birthday. I didn't really work at it at all, just fiddled with the strings for a few months.
Then I got a real nice one from my friends around my 23rd birthday. My neighbor was pretty good on his, so he taught me a few songs and some exercises. I worked at pretty hard for about a year, and have not done much with it since...that'd be about 3 years now. I still take it out and tune it up and fiddle for a while, but time is limited and I no longer live next door to my mentor.

it's good for you that you learned playing the guitar without having a formal guitar lessons. it only means that you have the talent for music, unlike me. iv been strumming guitars for how many years now but i only know a few songs, imperfectly. haha. lol. but im still looking forward in doing great with guitars. thanks for the reply!

I have dabbled on it for several years. I am not really devoting as much time to it as I would like. It is difficult for me since I have very small hands, so stretching across the fret board properly is almost impossible at times, especially for some of those chords! I hope to put more into it and learn to really play when I have more time to devote to it. I always took piano when I was younger, and always go bored with it very quickly because I wanted to play something more portable like strings... I never told my parents I wanted to play strings though (not sure why because I am not one to be silent or secretive about what I want!). Then my parents bought a guitar several years ago as kind of a "family toy," and I started teaching myself notes and stuff. I think I will have more fun with guitar once I learn more.

that's my problem too, i got short hands that playing the guitar is a hard thing for me to do.. but even if that's the case, i still tried my best.. thanks God i learned to play some simple chords, i played songs that are easy to play with the guitar..
i also tried playing the piano before.. my mother enrolled me to a piano lesson and i think that went for like 2 years.. i knew i got something from it, but when i grew up i stopped taking lessons.. now i regret that i never continued my lessons.. if only i could turn back time..

I learned how to play guitar when i was 14 and it was self study. I convinced my mom to buy me one at that time coz many students in our school knows how to play guitar. During our break time, the room is filled with the sounds of the guitar and voices singing and it was fun. I'm not expert but i know some basics. But know, I don't have much time to practice due to my busy schedule during school days. :)
