@suzianne saidYears ago my then 15 year old daughter, thought she like to join a band. She had already learned to play the piano and clarinet (with teachers for both) but decided that Goth bands (the band she wanted to join) didn't need either of those instruments. She chose, instead, to become a lead guitar player. She bought an electric guitar and amp and went on the internet and watched youtube videos. In about 4 months she had become a decent guitarist, well good enough to join the high school Goth band. That lasted about 6 months before it disbanded. She still picks up her guitar on occasion, when she has the time though her choice in musical genre's has changed to a less frenetic one. 🙂
I bought a guitar hoping to teach myself, but there's an obvious flaw with this plan. I need to learn from someone who actually knows what they're doing (duh). So it'll have to wait until after this COVID thing dies down. Not sure my piano fingers could handle the stress of becoming guitar fingers anyways.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidCongrats! Enjoy (I know you will).

It's looking more and more like a three-day weekend for me.

Then with the marital arts you have to be careful not to break a hand!

@great-big-stees saidHah! Good for her.

I'm lucky I went the path of piano over guitar.
I woulda ended up as a blonde Joan Jett or Suzi Quatro (Suzi played bass, though).
Here's a totally charming Suzi Quatro video:
@the-gravedigger saidLOL....You'll have to tell everyone that story sometime! 😉

@very-rusty saidThat's not honesty, it's hostility. Ask your oh, so principled mentor.
You aren't sharp enough to have thought about that to begin with Suzie Q!!! I don't mean to hurt your feelings just being honest with you. That is why you look up to goad! 😉

'If you can't give me love' reminds me of grooving around at the school disco.
