Yes. There is no age limit for learning guitar, and many of our students begin as adults with little or no musical experience.

Most adult beginners can play simple songs using basic chords after one to two months of weekly guitar lessons and regular practice.

Everyone learns at a different pace, but consistent practice between lessons is the key to steady progress.
