OK maybe I'm over thinking this one.....so don't laugh ::)I just turned 22 and have been playing pretty seriously for the past 4 years. The past year, I have taken pains to learn the instrument as thoroughly as I can: theory and scales, soloing, notation, you know...the stuff beyond tab. Learning to really play, or trying to. You get my drift.Anyhow, I've been listening to a lot of classic rock, and subsequently studying it historically, and it seems like all the musicians who "made it" (Jimmy Page, Hendrix, Beck, Clapton...) all started at a very young age. Even today, many of the bands who we listen to have memebers who started young. Then there's Britney, but thats another rant for another post.... ;DMy point is, is it too late to start a serioius career in music? I've been performing at a lot of open mikes as of late, had a few gigs, and want to play much more this summer. But I havne't logged as much time as many other musicians I know who've been at it a while, but are at a similar level in playing, and it seems as though I'm always lacking in comparison Does this trend have any merit, or is it all just work ethic and determination, no matter how long you've been playing, that makes a career happen or not?Thanks very muchMatt
