I can't imagine a world without music. I am a Buddhist but honestly speaking, I think, by right, my religion is actually Music. If I had to go through a day without listening to my favorite songs or blasting random jazz music or some other (ANY OTHER) type of music, I would die.
I already play the piano (not as well as I used to, though) but have been wondering what it would be like to play another instrument. The banjo? Saxophone? Violin?
My son is also a little bit like me, quite musically-inclined but he thought the piano wasn't for him. They took classes for two to three years....zilch. Learned absolutely nothing and I thought that if I had to force them to practice the instrument, it really isn't quite working out. It has to be THEM pestering me that they want to use the piano, or something like that at least. So, we said goodbye to the piano classes.
Recently, my son said that he thought he wanted to learn the violin....then guitar....then saxophone...then guitar. Fickled son.
So, one fine day, we went ahead and bought a guitar.
I got a little excited about learning it myself so, I downloaded a guitar chords app from Playstore and started playing it.
I am kidding you not, I only managed to play the C chord and my fingers were screaming bloody muder! What kind of instrument is this?!?! Maybe I am too used to the piano, you know what I mean...geez....it is now sitting beside the bed asking 'Yo! Are you ever going to touch me again, you'.
Damn, I have cut off the long fingernails on my left hand too....I guess to justify that, I will have to attempt F and G chord now....so that I can at least play 'Baa Baa black sheep' or something.
