Anyone?

People who want to play a musical instrument but never make the attempt puts me in mind of the story of the time Linda Ronstadt was approached by a fan who said, 'I would do ANYthing to have a voice like yours!'

According to the story, Ronstadt fixed the woman with a steely stare and said, 'Really? Would you practice five hours a day, seven days a week, for twenty years?'

Barring a disability, anyone can learn to do anything. It simply takes work.

Agreed! I never complained that I don't play the piano as well as I should, because I never put enough effort into it. But it's alright, I'm a Jack of all trades, I'm content with knowing how to (somewhat) decently play the piano, bass, cello, trumpet, flute and guitar. I also agree with Quill that playing a musical instrument is a lot easier if you have natrual aptitude for it.

I would play the Tsugaru Shamisen.

I can't see you unless you come to Birmingham, man. Sure we have a high murder rate, but those are usually domestic disputes so you totally won't be murdered if you come here - probably.

I meant to pick cello on the poll, because the cello is the sexiest instrument, often compared to a woman's body. It also sounds amazing. You know what else is amazing? The song "Glass Vase Cello Case" by Tattle Tale.

The only instrument I can actually play is the piano/keyboard, and that's super easy, a monkey could learn to do it. I used to be super proud I could play "Fur Elise," though. It's such a beautiful song.

One day i'm gonna buy a guitar, an electric one , and i'm gonna play ma fav song evaaaa .... "paint it black" ; its gonna be sooooo EPIC .

Guitarz FTW !!!

I play guitar, piano and have a violin but never play it.

[Marsellus Wallace]

I'm pretty sure that the guitar bar is gonna go wild on the rates . who doesn't wanna play with that epic invention ?

[Cato]

I play a little guitar and bass. I think the cello would be cool, but I would really love to learn to play the vibraphone and organ.

[Kayenneh]

Fur Elise [it's] such a beautiful song.

Oh, I can't stand Für Elise! I love the second and third part of it, but the first.. *shudder* It's probably the most raped classical piano piece ever. But Beethoven is such an amazing composer, my favorite is the Moonlight Sonata, it's beautiful and nice to play.

I can sing (along) and whistle, but I'm a derp with any instrument. I don't have the hand-eye coordination for it.

However, my bro-in-law may very well be the second coming of SRV. He's awfully damned talented on the guitar.

[Cinjin]

I can work a guitar like it's putty in my hands. Easy like soft butter, but I'd trade it away to be a proficient Cello or piano player.

Guitar has become the most cliche instrument in the world. Anyone can play it and everyone seems to.
Regarding learning a new instrument: Its not that I don't have the will or the talent; I just no longer have the time.
