I am seriously considering to lean how to play the guitar. It's something that I've wanted to do from a young age but sadly never got the chance to. Although I could have for the past few years now, I've thought that it's something that I personally wouldn't be able to pick up by myself, and there'd be no chance of me being able to afford to go to lessons. I'm not too sure why this idea popped up and gave me a sudden urge today, but at the moment I think it's a great idea. The only problem is that at times I become very lazy, and I dread to think that I will eventually give up on the guitar without getting far. If I were to get a guitar, it would be an acoustic, simply because they are much cheaper, even if slightly harder to pick up. I have many friends that can play the guitar, so I'm sure I could easily get suggestion or help from them. I talked a little about it with my mother today, she thought it would be a reasonable thing to get for Christmas, so if my keenness towards playing the guitar keeps up, I will be getting one for Christmas. I don't want to get an expensive one, just encase I lose interest, but I don't want it to be too cheap, as them I'm sure the quality will be pretty poor too.
The only musical instrument I have ever played before was the recorder, in the early years of primary school. Sadly I cannot remember my feelings towards it, or how well I eventually got at it. I do have one memory of me playing the recorder though, it was when I was on stage in a group performance, I got stage fright and instead stood there looking probably very pathetic, pretending I was playing it. That was a horrible memory for me, I hope to never go through anything like that ever again!
