Paranoid Android Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barre_chordAnd don't fret (AHAHAHAHA A JOKE I MAKE JOKE) being 18. I picked up a guitar for the first time one year ago when I was 17 and its never too late to start. The key thing that you have is a desire to get better. And the more practise you put in, and the more you learn, the more rewarding it'll be. Sure there may be people better than you that are younger, but at the end of the day its no competition. If you enjoy playing and the sound it makes then thats all you need. good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
