Reply #30: Guitar.

[eyepaddle]

I wanted to play as soon as I heard the outro solo to AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" I just couldn't beleive anybody could possibly move their arm fast enough to pick like that. I think I was about ten or eleven and hadn't yet noticed girls. So oddly enough, my desire to play guitar predates my desire to impress women.

A friend of mine is a guitar teacher--and he assumed that playing guitar must've got me somewhere with the ladies. But I don't think it has. To the best of my knowledge being a guitarist hasn't gotten me laid once in 23 years. Geology and Industrial Hygiene on the other hand--much better results! (Girls go to class y'know!) B-)

And I had impressed my SO plenty before she ever heard me strum a chord, so now I am unlikely to have play those anglesl....

If I had it to do over again, I would've learned piano. I still might, right now I am treaching myself to read notation again, I wish I would've gotten around to that sooner.
