Ooh! Why didn't I see this topic earlier? I really love music!!
Like my brother, I enjoyed about ten years of piano classes. We didn't really have to fight about the piano at home, because neither of us was practicing very hard... Someday though I decided that I wanted to learn guitar, so I bought myself a classical guitar when I was about 17 I think, and a few months later my first e-guitar. The plan was to become irresistible for the girls, which I bet was the reason most e-guitarists started out in the first place. Needless to say, it didn't work... At least while I was practicing scales in my room, no girls mysteriously appeared. I was only annoying my brother with it!
So, for all of you who have the same plan: You need to play guitar IN A BAND! That's more likely to increase your chances.
Anyway, some time later I formed a band with some of my buddies, and although I have played in a lot of other bands too, we're still at it! After 10 years (on and off) of playing with each other, we're a pretty tight band by now!
If anyone happens to be in Vienna this weekend, we'll have the first gig since 2,5 years this Saturday! I'm really looking forward to it!!
