but I don't really know how to go about it. If you have kids, then one way is to check around with their music teachers. We have found several adults like us, who used to play more seriously, but work and family became more important and we dropped it. Basically, I asked the head of the kids' music school if any of his students had parents that played (actually it was "Do you know any adult drummers?" :? ), and found more than enough.

Just last week, we jammed with 3 guys in that situation - and their kids too!

Good Luck!

and you said you started when you were 18 playing seriously..

he is an absolutely fantasic guitarist in a sucessful band (Symphony X) and has his own tapping techniques and is a really really good guitarist..

he is hailed as "one of the better group" along with Satch / Vai / Malmsteen / Cooley / Angelo / Becker, them sorts of people..

so, point is.. he startef when you started, he was succesful..

if he can do it, why cant you?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Alex_ https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-63452 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-62097 Wed, 09 Jun 2004 21:12:58 +0000 Seriously, In my late teens early twenties I played in a bunch a bands
Most were ...well lame. but since I've been playing, and I really don't play too bad (3 years of lessons... and for the last 10 mo.s 2 hr a day, almost every day practice - noise session...ANYONE should sound halfway decent after that). I have a problem, I don't KNOW anyone that still plays!
I would like to find a group of burnouts that rarely leave the garage,
but I don't really know how to go about it. I read classifieds from time to time, but if they, the band advertising is close to my age, they are pretty much serious about it and well, I already have a life and I'm not THAT good anyways. I dunno should I stand around with a cardboard sign? :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Racer Y https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-62097 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-61271 Thu, 27 May 2004 02:49:44 +0000 there's a very large portion of artists out there who don't break into the market until they're in their 30's or 40's. Thanks a lot, that does wonders for my confidence.... i always new life started after 40 !!!! so Matty you have 20 odd years to get famous.

It's the same in every field. You can say that Isaac Asimov started publishing his work at 18, but Philip José Farmer, who is just as successful, started at 35.]]> Guitar Players Discussion A-J Charron https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-61248 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/age/#post-61174 Tue, 25 May 2004 18:35:05 +0000
It's a bummer that mainstream media is so fixated on connecting talent to youth.

Just kidding, it's never too late Man if that was true. I'd have about a month left. I'm firmly in the camp, that no matter what your age, you can do whatever it is you desire.
