Should I learn the guitar?

[montsa007]

That's pretty much the only reason I wanted to learn. Just to say I could and it's fun to strum some basic tunes at parties and get your friends singing along. I do need to make a point of practicing more diligently. If you don't already have one, I would suggest a finger strengthener. I use one while I sit at work all day and it has really helped me become better at fingering chords. Also the one I have has these little ridged caps that develop and help maintain calleous on my fingertips, which is hard for me because I have soft girly hands..lol! I haven't looked at any of the picks on Etsy, but I did buy some custom Star Wars guitar straps because I'm a SW dork.

I love the way it is designed, know nothing how it'd sound on strings, Wood Guitar Pick with Thumbgrip Blackwood & Osage by WoodRecycled
You may want to add me on FB, probably we could help each other

As to finger strengthener, are you referring to this? - GRIPMASTER HAND & FINGER EXERCISER STRENGTHENER -MEDIUM | eBay

I don't have girly hands but do have a big palm :/, could you show me whats that ridged caps thing?

Those are some pretty cool looking picks! Not sure I'd want to pay $13 for one, but cool looking none the less. What's your FB URL? I'll friend ya!

Yes, that is exactly what I'm talking about. Here is a pic of mine with the caps on the finger pads.

Ukulele or baritone ukulele are great choices too. You can practice hours and hours without getting tired. Also, try Cifra Club Tuner on WP. It's an absolute gem!

Dude, learn the cowbell. It's a chick magnet! You can't have enough cowbell.

HAHAHA, that's pretty funny.

I am looking to pick up guitar playing as well my kid sister started playing, so I would play her guitar (lent by her school) but then she had a natural affinity for the piano. So I bought her an electronic keyboard for her birthday so she switched to the piano. The only regret I have.. I miss playing on the damn guitar now! lol
