@quinsedlethorpid just go for it man , don't doubt yourself and enjoy it

thanks for the info I'm 25 and starting to play and it's daunting because the older players are so good and I know they learned at a different time. There's just a lot of distractions and it's easy to quit practicing when few people my age are learning, so there's no comparison to know whether I'm learning quickly or not.

there aren't really any "tips" here, more just a life story. (Ok well I guess you could get "practice makes perfect," but I mean who doesn't know that?)
