I love guitars. I tried for years to learn to play and finally gave up.

Great features!

Hi Maveco

I thought I remembered that about you and music!

I believe music is an art,

and I absolutely love music, too.

I grew up with music, and a very wide variety of it- which I feel is due largely in part to the fact that my dad was a music teacher.

I, in fact, play several instruments, such as piano, clarinet, xylophone, marimba, tympani [other percussion instruments] and then MUCH later in life, I decided to officially learn to play the guitar- a dream of mine, because that one was my mom's main instrument!

However, of all of all of them, I was the least good at becoming good at the guitar.

But I still have my beloved guitar, and I won't give it up.

I do not think one has to play any instrument to actually BE musical, or have natural talent for music, and I respect anyone who loves it the way you do with your BEAUTIFUL brain, indeed!!!

's

[wow, that got long, sorry!]

James, I can actually relate!

I was just telling Maveco [above in this strand] about the various musical instruments I did learn since I was a child/young... but my dream was to always learn to play the guitar,

which I finally had the chance to do about 7 years ago...

it is actually harder than it seems!

I tried really hard, too... but I am the least *very* least adept at this than of all my instruments.

Oh well... I still have my beloved guitar though... I think it at least LOOKS beautiful.
