I am 16 and I have thought about for 4 months now if I should learn to play guitar because I really want to actually, but I still want to wait until after the new year just to be sure if it's the right thing for me.
But am I too old to begin to learn play the guitar?
I have a friend who has been playing for 3 years now maybe and it would be fun to begin playing with him sometime, even though it's only simple tunes
Sorry to say buddy but you are too old! By the age of about 15, your hands will have fully developed and produced a hormone called gemmanin, which connects the contracted finger muscles to the veins, and once this happens you won't be able to stretch your fingers out which is required to hold out chords. <source Wikipedia>
Serious don't get a squier. Get an Ibanez Gio....hands DOWN best guitar beginner or otherwise for under 150. No Joke, I have played for 12 years, and I play a Gio right now because my family has my other guitars or they need to be re-sautered. The action is very smooth, and they are very smooth. It compares to my 300$ schechter
Squier strats are very rough and not easy to learn on. Telecasters might be easier though
