I play guitar, both electric and acoustic, but I have learned several percussion instruments, including a drum kit of course, but mianly bongo, and dejemba drums. The loud thunder of it all.

I played around on a bass guitar for awhile as well and used to have one, but I got rid of it a long time ago, before I turned 18, so that was like, 7yrs ago.

Tips for playing guitar though is find one that is comfortable to play. Don't worry about all the specks and fancy names, just find one you like. Learn some basic scales, some basic chords, and start from there. It will take longer than 2hrs to learn to play, longer than 2 weeks, longer than 2 months...it takes patience to learn to play any instrument, but you'll get through it no problem if you really enjoy playing. :thumbsup:
