I have a guitar student that is Grandfather of 64. Not only is he a grandpa, but he was a mechanic most of his life, so his hands are mangled and knurled from all of the years of abuse from the hard work. Yet, he is making lots of progress and learning a lot! It is never too late, you are never too old, and your hands are never too beat up. Now, his hands are the most beat-up I have seen (aside from my friend who also happens to be a mechanic who cannot extend certain fingers), and yet he is still able to play guitar because he sought out a teacher willing to work with him. Just keep at it and you will be jamming on doo-wop in no time!
