you're right, you might as well kill yourself and start piano earlier in your next life
Anthony Martinez
You can still get good, you idiot. Just don't seek virtuosity as the end goal.

I learnt guitar as my first instrument at 28 and it took about a year of dedicated practice until I was good enough that experienced players would compliment my fingerpicking. I’m 30 now and about to release my first album, have also learnt a bit of mandolin too.
You are definitely not too old at 19.
Gabriel Bell
post your music?
Isaiah Harris
Sure, here’s a sample of my album, four songs still being produced.

Your chances of becoming a professional musician are far lower than they would have been if you started 10 years ago (not that they are high in the first place), but as far as doing it for fun there's nothing stopping you other than your own jadedness.
Bentley Perry
pretty fucking good desu, thanks for sharing
you seriously only been playing two years?
Christian Wright
no you're not too old!!! theres always time to learn new things, i learnt how to play guitar in about 9 months and im still learning and im 19 and i used to play piano and in my opinion piano takes longer to learn but you should go for it
Lincoln Bennett
Yeah man. Songwriting is what got me really into guitar, what I am playing is not massively complex but I have a knack for fast fingerpicking.
Jack White
yeah, kill yourself and start playing guitar by 3 next time. you're not even an adult retard, of course you can learn to play an instrument
Kevin Campbell
There's more to it than age. I had piano lessons from before I was 8 years old and kept trying until I was about 15 but never got further than grade 2 because I have cerebral palsy. I've written dozens of songs I'll never be able to play.
Samuel Ross
That’s a shame man, you should try and find a good singer and pianist to bring them to life.
Dominic Martinez
not Good good but you can still learn how to play it
Gavin Edwards
you can get good, just don't expect instant results, a lot of adults don't last because they're not willing to let go of their pride and take on the perspective of a child
Adrian Smith
Are you fucking joking? Just do it
Jose Bell
In rural southeast England? Little chance, only music scene here is heavy metal pub bands and buskers trying to be Ed Sheeran
Noah Evans
You almost certainly have a conservatory within a reasonable distance.
Alexander Hill
I’m in Fife, Scotland - I’m this guy and I can’t play piano unfortunately.
Nolan Butler
go for it, still plenty of time
Jace Foster
Oh sorry, I misread your post, thought you were asking where I was.
You could possibly find someone on the internet and collaborate that way, it’s a shame there’s not a lot of people on the shill threads here who actually play instruments and sing, it’s largely ambient and electronic stuff.
Christopher Bailey
if you want to play classical music you'll be good at it by the time you're 30-35 or older
if you wanna play popular music you'll be good enough by the time you're 20

Ryan Johnson
That's exactly the problem I've always had, yeah. Everyone just tells me I should make bleep bloop music with a DAW instead.
Owen Phillips
Go to student concerts, discuss music with people, make friends.
Connor Miller
I could have a shot at a song on guitar if you are interested, although I might need to simplify the chords or change the key as piano chords don’t always translate well.
Jason Jones
Never too late.
I started guitar at 27 and have been having tons of fun steadily getting better over the past years.
It's a lifelong journey, 19 is nothing.
