Back in college, I used to sing The Guitar Man by Bread, You've Got a Friend by James Taylor, Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Boxer, and other guitar songs. Sometimes, I joined musical contests too with my guitar. Yes, I knew then how to play the guitar. But it has been decades since I touched a guitar.
I also loved the sound of the violin and the bagpipes. I find them mesmerizing. However, I didn't know how to play them.
What about you? Have ever played a musical instrument? What's your favorite musical instrument to hear?

I have played guitar and piano neither very well, because I never achieved any real skill level. Guitar I quit because my sister ran over my nice one with the car, case and all.I had in the garage.(Besides I found it nearly impossible to tune) When I was complaining about the accident, all she said was, "What was it doing there?"

@Jenaisle I had a guitar since then. I don't have a lot of hand dexterity. I don't think I am really meant to be a guitarist although I do know some chords and could probably play a bit if I wanted to.

@snowy22315 That's good enough. I myself hadn't mastered the art of plucking.

@RebeccasFarm Cool! One of my favorites too is House of the Rising Sun. But I don't know the other song.

I have only tried the Yamaha keyboard which I gave away.
Why did you give up?

I learned guitar from my cousin but it was just basic and for beginner only. It was fun. I also study piano but basic only too not advance skill. I would love to learn musical instruments but it's hard sometimes

@Jenaisle I just figure it out on my own. Can't afford a teacher

All those are great tunes which I have on my playlists! I enjoy listening to a banjo. Also, Odd instruments in rock/pop music can be appealing. Like the flute, or an oboe, or mellotron anything out of the ordinary.
I tried guitar but did not have the discipline to stick with it.
