I am not a 'gamer' & a lot of the phrasing and language here is over my head, but I want to learn guitar. Is RS an option for someone over (ahem) 50?

If you know how to use a computer, the game will teach you how to play the guitar. Very simple to understand. Go for it!

Absolutely. I loath video games and am by no means a gamer, but I love playing Rocksmith. You can set the level for absolute beginner or advanced player. One great feature is that you have the option of picking a song and playing it over and over. With each pass, the game will get just a little more difficult and pull you closer to mastery. A second great feature is the simple arcade type game feature. Here you can play simple games that will focus on a number of technique elements including chords, scales, picking, sliding, etc. As a music student enrolled in a guitar program, I can't recommend this game highly enough.

yes, all you need is patience, free time and willing to learn. For this game, as well as for every game, is recommendable to be comfortable and rested.

Sorry, I have no idea about guitar at all. I bought this guitar for my wife as a gift. She is a new learner. She says it is a classic guitar. That's all we know about it.

Your welcome, I really like this guitar. I don't think you will be disappointed. Will you be taking lessons? Or are you learning on your own?

as my son has grown, its easier for him to play. I wouldnt say the action is particularly high. he is learning to play closer to the fret bar to eliminate buzz

Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson. Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

Sure. If you want something easy to play but you're not certain you'll stay with it, this is a very playable guitar for a ridiculously low investment. However, if you already play another instrument and/or have any tone sensitivity, or want something you can play more seriously later on; spend some extra $ for a better "starter" guitar. 5'-8" is irrelevant. This guitar has the same shape and dimensions as a classical guitar. There are many other options to a dreadnought, if size is a concern.

This is one of the best guitars for beginners but experienced players may be looking for something a little more. Thanks for your interest!

It was made for that purpose. It is for beginners of all ages.I am 64 years old and I have in the last two months began to play.

I believe an adult could definitely learn on it. It's a good solid guitar with a nice sound.

From everything I am seeing and reading it will not run well. In some of the forums they give to tricks and twists to try but they don't sound too easy or appealing to me. I guess it boils down to how badly you want to play it. I hope this helps.

I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this. When my daughter wanted to start playing guitar (age 8) Her guitar teacher said to start with a Baritone 4 string Ukulele. Only four strings to learn at first would make it easier and less frustrating for a beginner. It worked out well her, she's 16 now and still plays and takes lessons, she was able to transition to a 6 string guitar no problem. Her second instrument was a baby martin (3/4 guitar) then Baby Strat. Next a Full sized MIM Strat, Seagull cutaway and Hoffner Bass. I did get this Guitar Ukulele the other week and she love it, she wanted something to travel with. I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this.

It's definitely for kids it's not something that stays in its poor tune. If your looking for a guitar for an adult the best thing would to go to a local music store and have them help you they seem to have some good learning guitars for under $100.00 ( when I was looking) some places have used guitars. Just an idea. I got it for my niece to see if she kept with it and now she has a good guitar that keeps tune. �

My granddaughter turned 9 and was her birthday present. Along with lessons. Her instructor complimented the guitar and she is totaly capable in learning and playing it. But I do presume it would depend on the childs frame size. If she is petite i would search for something smaller or wait a few years.

This is a full size guitar. I'm 21 but I'm not very big and I have no problem handling it, I've been playing guitar since I was 15 and the cheap guitar I used to own was the same size. If you're asking about anyone younger than that I suppose it's a matter of opinion and the players skill level.

You could use whatever your favorite strings are for a classical guitar. It's a standard neck. I never got that far with it. It wasn't what I was looking for. Not a Martin sound quality (didn't expect much from the small body) but mainly it was too heavy/bulky to be useful for me.

Although I have been playing on and off for several years, I am not a very accomplished guitar player. I have been to guitar centers and tried several other guitars. I think the S6 is relatively easy to play, sounds great, is a nice size and the price is hard to beat for the quality you get. I think it would be a great beginner's choice.
