Welcome to the forum Emre there are people here in their 60s and 70s learning so 30 is earlier than most.

Welcome Emre,
Life has a habit of getting in the way but if you are restarting and in your 30s ? You’ll be fine.
I got my first guitar for my 40th. Working, had a family and just restarted a martial art career that eventually ran for over 2 decades in total. For 17 years I went round in circles on a start stop carrousel until I found Justin in late 2012. So I pretty much started from ground zero again around 55/56 years of age late 2013.
He’s treated me well and mainly all for free.
You have a good twenty years head start. Buckle down, crank it up and enjoy the ride.

Emre … If I’d have started playing at 32 … I’d have been playing for 20 years. That’s a long time to be loving music and guitars for … so never too late to start.

Welcome, Erme. Never too late, I’m 65 and started 18 months ago, having never picked up a guitar till then. I’m amazed at what I’ve accomplished. You’ll do fine!

As advice goes, this must surely rank alongside “Learn songs, learn songs, learn songs”

Hello Emre.
Welcome to JustinGuitar and this fantastic community. Please take your time to look around and get to know the wider space.

We are a supportive and encouraging group of students and guitarists from across the world. Essentially, we are all here for music and to improve as players. We truly are a ‘community’. Members help and support one another and a friendly, positive attitude underpins this. We hope that all - young or old, experienced or new players - adopt and foster the pay-it-forward ethos that Justin personifies and embedded all those years ago when he started the website and forum.
Also, please make sure to read the community etiquette announcement for some important information and guidance.
