13 or 15 Years Old. I learned that the hard way. Just fucking give up if you picked something up at around my current age. It'll only do you some good. Just say, "FUCK IT!!!!" There's much more to life that the disappointment that comes with learning music too late in your lifetime.

It's never too late - how much you put into it is how much you'll get out of it. Of course, the older one gets, the more responsibilities one has (jobs, family, etc.) but it can be done wink

And for the younger ones, there are so many distractions nowadays, it's a wonder any of them pick up an instrument at all. And many of the ones who do expect to become great overnight. They get a guitar one week and expect to post a video of them "shredding" on YouTube the next week. Doesn't work that way. As I often say, Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes time and PRACTICE. A lot of time spent on the Internet asking questions about playing could be spent PLAYING smile

The most important thing is to have fun doing it!!!

A one minute year old baby is still too old to learn to play an instrument because people that play instruments don't get record deals these days.

I'm happy for other individuals who aspire the achievement of meeting their personal level of success and greatness in music. But it's just too much for me. I lost it last year when it occurred to me that I have to get off my ass and stop indulging on something that doesn't promise a bright future. I kept bitching about every annoying thing that came with the process of self-appliance towards the field of this formerly personal craft.

Get to it now. Agonising about whether you're too old is wasting your practice time.
