Great book if you are wondering if being middle aged is a barrier to playing guitar as well as you would like to. You can play as good as any one or all of your guitar heroes. you just have to put in the time. Age has some advantages and this book goes into the science and biology of learning at any age. Fascinating and a great motivator.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Do it. read it. Best education text this decade.By BookmanicIf the maximum number of stars is five then this book is worth at least ten. Dont be fooled by the title. you wont learn to play the guitar. You will. however. get the most honest. scientific. and positive description of teaching and learning and meet some of the most fascinating people in the world of music. If you are a teacher or educator. this is one of the most inspiring books about teaching you will ever read. Thankyou Gary Marcus.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice memoir. In the endBy AstillnessNice memoir. In the end. the answer is yes. you can learn a new instrument as an adult. however. having a sabbatical of a year or more (as the author does) in which to learn. practice and jam with experts greatly increases your likelihood of success.
