The answer was "No"
12.
The eight string guitar-ish thing I was given when I was 5 or 6 doesn't really count (even though it probably sowed a seed), so 12 for playing a proper 6-string.

Well he had a car and got all the girls and played guitar. I was good at maths/physics/chemistry so we formed a pact. He'd get me laid and teach me guitar I would get him to pass his final year. Unfortunately it took me another 4 years to get laid, but I did learn the minor pentatonic and got a lift into school everyday, listening to Hendrix, Cream and deep Purple.
We also had one of those buskers "Play all these songs with 3 chords" books which was actually great. Being able to play actual songs and sing along was what stopped me from giving up. I didn't start learning scales until years later when I sort of hit the wall of what I could achieve without knowing any theory. I still don't know that much but I pick it up as I need to.
I had a Hondo Strat, my sis had a Tanglewood LP and we shared a Hohner amp.
I finally took up guitar after convincing my dad to buy me a nylon string acoustic, as a classical teacher had just started at school. I had about 8 lessons before figuring out Johnny B. Goode by ear and finding my niche.
I gave up in my late teens, then bought a Squier Strat in my early 20's.
I didn't really have any sort of plan for learning, just tried to copy songs and learn from others.

What age did you start guitar?"
I'm still 'starting' 55 yrs later. I've come to the conclusion - it's a long road - - -Bought my first guitar then and been at it ever since.
l am pretty shit, but enjoy it immensely.
