You can teach an old dog new tricks

June 13, 2012

With virtually no musical talent Gary Marcus decided to teach himself the guitar at the age of thrity-nine and a half. He suceeded, though he admits he was a bit slower to pick it up than had he been younger. As a psychologist, he’s used his experience to examine the science of learning in his book Guitar Zero. He concludes that it’s never too late whatever you want to learn.

Go on. Pick up that guitar that you’ve had in your coat cupboard for the past five years.
