I will be a senior citizen soon but I still have my old fogey band, composed mostly of near senior citizens also, play in parties, fund raising activities, etc.  Now that we can afford, it is easy for us to get the equipment we need.  I remember when I was in high school, we normally drool over Fenders, Gibbys, Voxes, etc.; plug all our instruments in one amp.  Now, if there are stuff we want to have, we just whip out our credit cards.  And the Mrs. does not mind anymore.  It's high time we enjoy our lives.  Life is short ... more so with us seniors.  But what is having lots of gear without using them in a gig?  So, we reformed our old high school band and gig.  My son, who is in his teens, is a very good guitar player, a shredder.  Although he is restricted to use my gear right now (I am forced to get him his own stuff), my collection will go to him and his siblings later on.  I believe it's the best way of passing the musical spirit.  As I like fiddling with guitars and stuff, I set up and maintain his guitars.  We share the same interests.  We visit guitar shops together, attend guitar concerts and activities, jam and share guitar stories and read all sorts of guitar magazines.  It is the best way of bonding with the kids.  We make it a family affair.  So, as long as I still got music in me, I would not mind going up the stage, play guitar, gig and rock.  My band jams regularly Fridays, whether we have a gig or not.  It is our outlet - to relieve stress and tensions of work.  We practice, enjoy each others company, fine wine, good food, test gears and do the kind of music we love.  It keeps us young and active, and our families love it.  When you can still do it, keep rockin'!.

Nice! I wish my dad was like you.

=tutugtog ka na lang ba hanggang sa tumanda ka?

[obetski]

si BB king nga 70 plus na tumutugtog pa.. the great andres segovia.. played until he was 94..
music never stops..

but of course nakakahiya naman kung 50 plus ka na 3 chords pa rin ang alam mo.. at that age, the saying "3 chords and the truth" doesnt apply anymore hahaha

[ermonski]

Metallica
iron Maiden
Sabbath
Juan de la Cruz Band
Rolling Stones

these guys show no signs of aging. They still rock harder than ever. And still continues to show this generation how rock should be done

aiza segera

(is that how you spell 'its' name?)

[johnbrown]

Rock on ....
But I think mas maganda if versatility takes place to the guitarist when it gets older.
Changing of music style is not bad and applying the old techniques to new ones equals a better total musician.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are my heroes. That's my greatest influence in guitar playing. I want to do what they said.


In an interview, they said that they're going to make music until they die. But of course, they also fear aging. Good thing that they still have their energy to rock out.


I love those guys.

[screamingguitars]

Being old is only a state of mind...Joe Sat is already in his 50's but still his music is ageless..

[chadrobles]

Di ko alam san ko nakuha toh...

Age daw is mind over matter....

If you don't mind....





It doesn't matter!

[Jejan]

Yup. Don't let your age stop you from doing your favorite things.

Well you asked. I'm 54 and have a beautiful granddaughter. Here's me playing in the rock cover band I play in with a bunch of friends when we played last August 19. This band gigs about 3 times a year. The other band I play in, is my band Mo Sayk, which will be coming out with a CD this coming spring.
