Question Any guitarist make it big as a pro that didn't begin to play until his/her 30's
Answer Adam,
Off hand, I can't think of any. But that doesn't mean that it hasn't or isn't done. I believe that if you want something bad enough, you can achieve it with hard work and be persistence. There have been lots of stars that have make it late in life. Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson are a couple I can think of. I'm in my 40's and I still work toward writing that next big hit. So yes, I believe that it can be done.
