Why we gave up on learning how to play an instrument? (lemm.ee)

I regret buying a guitar, I can't even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube... I dunno if it's laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like... Maybe a mix of both?

Take it from one who quit piano at 16 after having started as a 4-year-old... the regret runs deep.

Take the stupid lessons, buy a $100 keyboard and a pair of headphones, and PLAY. Its hard and you'll suck for a time, but treat it as play. Laugh at your mistakes and revel in your success.

2 bars at a time. That's how you build.
