If you're 3 and start taking lessons, your advantages are that a) you aren't embarrassed by how you sound in the beginning and b) people think it's cute. When you're 19, people aren't so indulgent. However, you can certainly still learn to play. (For that, you NEED a teacher. Youtube doesn't cut it. You need to learn from someone who knows what he or she is doing.) Your odds of becoming a famous virtuoso are pretty low, but that doesn't mean you can't learn to play the music you want for yourself, and find a chamber group to play with. Even if you started when you were 5, you would still sound screechy in the beginning, you would still get stymied by tricky technical things and have rough days, days when you just didn't get it, days when you were so frustrated you wanted to smash your violin over someone's head. Don't give up. Work through the inevitable rough spots and you'll have a skill to last you the rest of your life. It will be harder for you to find time to practice than it would be if you were 5. After all, you have more in your life to keep track of. Be sure to schedule in time to practice every day. Since you know about your learning style and have a reason to practice, you'll make quite a lot of progress very quickly. You can practice 30 minutes a day and progress; of course, if you can put in an hour that's even better, but 30 minutes is fine. Feel free to come back with any more questions.<br><b>References : </b><br> You can learn violin at any age, though if you have arthritic hands, wrists, elbows etc you might want to consider something else.

I am sure that you are completely untrainable and have no capacity for learning whatsoever.<br><b>References : </b><br> No teacher is going to want you, they only love working with snotty nosed six year olds with half their shirts untucked.

I would start by looking at some local music store that you trust. You can never be sure what you are going to get online. I would go with a local music store that you trust. If you do not know of one, ask some friends.<br><b>References : </b><br> I definitely would look for a used one. I would start by looking at some local music store that you trust.

I have no clue on how to play guitar, nor do I care. Bass theory is far different than guitar theory. I ticks me off when I hear about some guitarist that switches to bass in order to be in a band. All it does is provide the low-end 'noise' rather than a musician. If you want to learn guitar, learn guitar, if you want to learn bass, learn bass. If bass is the perminant route you want to take, start on bass. It'll make you a better musician.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’ve started on bass and am ending on bass.

However, in many ways, adults are better equipped than children. For example, adults are usually better motivated, have more money, are more familiar with how they learn, etc. So yes, it's possible.
