I am 19 years old and in college at the moment. I've tried to learn guitar in the past but I was trying to teach myself and that can be very frustrating if you do not have someone to correct you. Both my dad and my brother are very good at guitar and I just want to be able to play with them. I have contacted a guy here through email but I never get replies, either he is busy or he thinks its spam. But, besides that; you think I would have a chance at learning it this late. I don't have those skinny long fingers which makes this instrument a little harder. If anyone has had this experience, please share on how you get past it. I just want to be able to read and understand notes and be able to play with my family. Thanks for listening.

It is NEVER too late to learn. You may want to try finding someone in your college... maybe contact the music department. If the teachers aren't able to give you lessons, you may be able to get lessons from a music student.

Well, there is a teacher that lives in this area but I have contacted him twice and no responses. The only other option would be to go to this place and talk to him face to face. Or keep trying.

Hi Mark,

My name is Micah Beverly and I teach guitar here in Chandler, AZ. Not sure where you live but I also teach students through webcam lessons. I've had webcam students as far away as the U.K. Contact me at micah@fromguitartomusic.com if you are still interested in lessons. My website has all the details too. http://www.fromguitartomusic.com. You can sample some video lessons of mine on YouTube if you just do a YouTube search for Micah Beverly. Hope I can help. -Micah
