as if I have too much time on my hands

I picked up an electric guitar starter set today. Actually, it'll be here in a few days.

 

I've never played any musical instruments before. I guess some lessons are in order.

Good start! Some few 30 years ago when I was in college I thought I should try my craftsmanship in building a banjo using the beech plywood of some surplus school benches. It came out pretty good and I still have it today.

 

When it was finished I bought a bunch of banjo books (yes, including Pete Seeger's) and took a few private lessons. I got to play some popular tunes reasonably well but at some time I just recognized I am not a musician. So I am down to plucking the banjo a few minutes every other year, just to see it still makes a sound.....

I may be going down the same path. Neither my wife nor I are into playing any instruments. Maybe this will get the kids some interest in it. I know my older son secretly wants to play, but hates the idea of taking classes.

Best reason for getting an musical insturment for yourself....
