Hi Y'all ! I'm old enough to be your dad, and then some.... after a couple of failed attempts years back I'm now finally getting to grips with this addiction.

My current geetar stable consists of ;

A B&M ( Admira ) bargain basement jobby that I've had for over 35 years and is about 45 years old and despite its doubious pedigree sounds quite good.

Then I bought a Fender Strat copy ( squier, courtesy of our friends in the Republic of China ) that was a mess but has now been fully sorted and sounds good.... or as good as they get !

Then I acquired an Admira Sevilla' ...nice looking,  good tone and volume ( thats for sale )

And my Dogs Wotsits is  my   White / Maple Strat ( MN version ).

If anyone on here lives in the NW of UK ( North Lancs ) it would be nice to hear from ya.

Cheers
Roj

so 43 ish, now, eh,  and teaching.... get over it !  I'm 64 !!! and been playing ( learning ) for the last couple o years.  I play a bit typical Spanish, Malaguena, Rock n Roll and all kinds o stuff.  The guy I was having lessons from had 2 guys in their 80's playing all knds of things.  As long as You can Play, and Teach others, age to me is No Brainer, in fact its probably an advantage I woud have thought ???

Hi Guys. I just started teaching last month and I'm loving it! So far have 2 students and have a third starting this weekend and supposed to have a fourth after the holidays.

My question is this...I am 41 yrs old, I am teaching Rock, Rock Blues. I am studying metal to teach it in the future.  Will I be able to teach when I am old (not too far down the road)? I mean most students are young, will I be taken seriously to teach these styles when I am white haired, or should I start learning Classical now and teach it when I am older?

Thanks.
