not really, ever played a trumpet? it's hard to start with it, when you get the hang of it, it's easy. woodwind instrument is the same too. very hard if you don't actually know how to control the air flow. a trombone is easier to start with, and not too hard to master too.

a guitar is different. being that it has techniques that involved strenght and dexterity, and sometimes both at the same time. it also requires some snyc with your hands. a piano requires this too, but piano does not requires much finger strength. although a drum also requires dexterity and more strenght, i does not requires precission and subtlety that a guitar requires.

i agree a teacher is needed, but only if your'e really serious about it. otherwise, your own will and your musical passion is enough to make you practice and find your own references. besides, i'm happier playing with my own pace.

I just came back fiddling around with my friend's electric guitar, and damn the feeling is nice

He started playing Incubus - Drive, GnR - Sweet Child o'Mine and another song and how I wished that would be me playing instead

For certain, I'm gonna pick up guitar seriously this time Starting off with my 7 weeks holiday coming soon

So it seems that most agree that I should get a teacher first, as not to pick up bad habits. How much do you reckon I can master with 7 weeks, if say I learn for 4 hours per week?

Rome wasn't built in a day

i used to play flute ... is quite tough at 1st but later will be easy ..

trumpet .. walau eh ... i still cant forget my the lips pain after the 1st few practices..
