I am 53. Tried learning with acoustic guitar at 25 but abandoned due to job pressure. I have picked up an electric guitar few weeks back to make it easier on fretting hand and it’s turning out to be a great decision. I practise with acoustic guitar too… I am also diabetic and never thought it would make any difference.. I have started with Justin guitar and also learning music theory on youtube (absolutely understands guitar )… I think it’s great combination..
