If you had the ability to proficiently learn any musical instrument in the world and have it definitely happen, which ones would you most want to learn?
For me, I guess I have just have three I most would: the piano, the harmonica, and I guess the guitar.
I actually bought a keyboard a few years ago but unfortunately my level of ability never really progressed too far for various reasons I won't get into. I'm actually planning on buying a harmonica on Amazon pretty soon to start learning to play. I've always wanted to learn to play the harmonica since I was a kid. Recently I just decided to finally buy one and give it a shot.
As for the guitar, well, that's just a standard one I'd say lol.
Does anyone else here have any that you would love to learn to play?

If i could learn an instrument proficiently it would definitely be the guitar as I find the idea of being in a rock band quite cool.I did try and learn the guitar once but a combination of being to lazy to put in the necessary practice and not much talent meant i didn't keep it up.Maybe i will have another go sometime but i don't think I will ever be a god of rock.

Yeah, I had the same idea with my keyboard when I bought it in high school, though guitars naturally are the first thing most people tend to think when they think "rock bands". There was a part of me that loved the idea of starting a band. I always "blamed" the Bill and Ted movies lol.
With the keyboard/piano, my problem always was that I always need batteries (I have a keyboard). Once I really get going and start really getting better, the batteries would run out and it would take me a long time before I'd get around to getting more. By then, I more or less would have to relearn stuff I did previously. It's a cycle I do need to break.

I already know how to play the guitar a little bit, so I'll concentrate on that until I'm actually good. I do agree though, the guitar IS a standard one :D So next, I'd want to learn how to play the violin. I've always love the sound of the violin; I find it a very 'emotional and sensitive' sounding instrument, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, it really is a standard one, isn't it? lol. The violin is a good one too though. I agree on the sound!

i would love to learn to play the guitar. it's one of the few instruments that's easily carried around. the other instrument i would love to learn is the piano. i have an aunt that taught piano. so when we visited her, she would teach me. i just couldn't keep the lessons up when we were at home. :( now, she no longer teaches piano lessons. i still live to far away.

The piano was the second one I started trying the learn. The first one being the trombone though that one wasn't necessarily just for fun though. I haven't played it in quite a long time though.

Hello there.
If I was given a chance, I think I will go for either the piano or the guitar. I do have a very basic about how to play the piano but am absolutely clueless about the guitar. My younger brother, who is the lead singer in a band here, did try to teach me the basics about the guitar but I couldn't grasp anything. It was way tougher because of the fact that the the strings in the guitar used to hurt my fingers. I know that sounds absurd but it is true.
Once I cut my index finger while trying to play it. Still I very much want to learn it.

I'm the same way with the piano. I have a basic understanding of it, but that's about it. My problem has always been once my keyboard's batteries ran out, I would wait too long to get around to getting new batteries and by then, I practically would have to start over. It's a habit I do need to fix, I guess lol.
For your fingers, you should get a guitar pick. It probably would make it so much better!

Hi DJ! I really wanted to learn how to play different musical instrument. I also started learning how to play the guitar but because I am really very busy with my job, I could not devote more time for the lesson. I've only learned the basic but hopefully I can still be able some more.

Yep, well as the saying goes, we all have to start somewhere! Good luck to you on learning to play it.
