I just turned 64 and have been playing an hour or two (sometimes more) a day since I was 61 (I retired at the same time). I took fingerstyle lessons from Mark Hanson (easy to look up on AGF - fantastic teacher) for about a year and half and am now on my own. For me, I felt lessons were mandatory as a late learner.

I'm to the point where sometimes I make music, but every day when I pick the guitar up it makes me happy. In any case I love sitting around with one of my guitars and playing. I love the guitar as an instrument and wanted to do this my whole life.

Just like anything new, there is a significant learning curve with plateau's along the way. For me it's a lot of fun and sure you can learn as an old guy!
