English Language Learners Asked by Spellcheck on November 10, 2021
I was wondering if it was better to say "I learned" or "I have learned to play the guitar from an early age"?
It should probably be rearranged to "I have been learning to play" since learning is a continuous action. This is probably the best if you are still playing/learning, but if you have ceased the action "I learned to play" is probably best, in all settings.
Informally any of these variations will transfer adequate meaning.

I would use the present perfect continuous if you started learning to play the guitar in the past and are still learning: "I have been learning to play the guitar from an early age."
If you learnt how to play the guitar at an early age, which is now in the past, use past simple.

as of a date, as from a date
But: at any early age is more idiomatic here.
I would not use: have learned for the playing guitar thing as it is not very "actively oriented".
