Unless you plan to retire very early, you should try to learn guitar long before retirement. Learning something, especially music, is much harder when you get older.
I get that you’re trying to be helpful, but playing the guitar well isn’t the goal. It’s ok that it is more difficult to learn as you get older, the point is to enjoy the learning. It’s unhelpful to discourage anyone at any stage of life from learning to play a new instrument or learn a new skill. Enjoy the process when you are free to take all the time you need.
Not necessarily, those are all things lots of people get pleasure out of, I even like to research my family tree from time to time and I’m nowhere close to retirement yet lmao
Lots of, but not the majority. They could have picked many other things that would seem fun for much larger groups of people, but that would be counterproductive for trying to convince you to work forever.
edit: note that I live on a vacation destination for golf and cruises, and this is still my impression.
Pleasure cruises, golf and tracing the family tree seem like cherry picked bad examples.
What my retirement is shaping up to look like:
I dunno. I suspect I won’t miss office politics, stressed clients and the rest much.
EDIT:
I forgot to add “painting table top miniatures” and “modding guitars” to the list. Here is a Washburn I modded into a rubber bridge.
Retirement home Halo 3 LAN
Nope. For me it will be a retirement home Unreal Tournament LAN. Instagib!!
I don’t know if my old ass will have the reflexes for 90’s shooters
Dont sell yourself short. I (50) joined a lobby a few months back and I didn’t fully suck.
I’m already bad now, lol.

Load of bullshit. You can learn guitar at any age.
