I'm 23. Is it too late for me to pick up guitar? I've wanted to play it bad for 2 years now, but never got my act together.
I hate school, and hate my courses, and hate just about everything else. I want to do music for relaxation and happiness. Also, I want to have the potential to become a rock star.
It's never too late! Especially if it's for the reasons you've given (minus 'rock star', but that helps

).
I've been playing for about 5 years now and i sound like a 2nd year student at best. It's just a hobby, i have no real aspirations (anymore). Even so, if my hand hasn't touched a fretboard in a week or two i get really tense.
On a side note: I'm currently trying to learn 'Horizons' by Steve Hackett on guitar. From a tab. This is mostly an excercise in dexterity for me. I can play about 7/10 of it alright but there are some stubborn bits in there, plus i don't have the feeling that Steve puts into it. but i like playing it anyway.
Another 'conquest': about a year ago i figured out and tabbed some basic melodies from certain Final Fantasy Tactics songs.
