About Bob Pardue – Guitar Music & Teaching Over 40 Adults
I’m Bob Pardue — a semi-retired musician (rhythm guitar & bass in country & classic rock groups for over 20 years), and a fine art photographer based in the Southeastern United States.
Music has always been a part of my life, but my passion now is helping adults learn guitar after 40 with confidence and joy.
Why I Teach Adults Over 40
Many people tell me, “I’m too old to start.” I’ve seen firsthand that isn’t true. Adults bring patience, focus, and life experience to the table. You don’t need hours of daily practice or advanced music theory to enjoy guitar. You just need simple steps and the right encouragement.
That’s why I created this site — to guide late starters, retirees, and hobbyists who simply want to play the songs they love without stress or overwhelm.
My Approach to Guitar Lessons
I focus on practical, beginner-friendly teaching. Instead of overwhelming you with scales and complex theory, I show you how to start with easy chords, strumming, and simple songs. From there, you’ll build skills naturally and stay motivated.

Faith and Inspiration
“Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.” – Psalm 33:3
I believe music is a gift meant to be shared. Whether you’re playing for family, friends, or simply for yourself, the joy of creating music can enrich your life at any age.
Let’s Get Started
If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really learn guitar after 40?” the answer is yes. I’ve seen it happen again and again. With the right steps, you’ll be strumming songs you love in no time.
