[quote=Anonymous]As a 50 years old guy, I wished I had listened to my father when I was young and practiced guitar everyday but I did not, and I am now living life with a lot of regrets.  While it is never too late to learn, it is 100 times more difficult to master the guitar at the age of 50 versus 15.  I am taking weekly lessons and progressing at a snail pace.  A particular chord will take me about two weeks to master versus one day for a fifteen years old.  I salute OP's son for practicing six to eight hours everyday.  It takes a special person to do that.  I often say this to my guitar's instructor:  I would trade my 2022 Tesla Model X with your 2019 Toyota Camry if I can play Eric Clapton's tears in heaven like you do.

You can have all the money in the world but you can not buy passion, commitment, and start learning/practicing music at an early age.  FWIW, going to college to get an accounting degree like Kenny G is very good.  Going to college to get a music degree is not a smart thing for ROI.  YMMV.[/quote]
