How to choose a musical instrument

How do you choose a muscical instrument that you want to play? Maybe this chart will help. I plead the 5th

Hi,

Piano for me ... wow!

As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

Kazoo!

It's the only way to go...

Chicks dig it.
You pack and unpack very quickly
it comes factory tuned
fairly inexpensive
cuts thru the mix
comes in colors
no lousy scales to pratice for hours on end
don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a sheep skin to hang on a balsted wall
 one size fits all
last one to the gig
first one out the door
environment has no effect on it

in case of being pulled over by the men and women in blue it provides a safe, secure and great excuse to let you go!

just saying!

I did not get much of a choice, I was born with a guitar in my hands.

There's more truth in that chart than most would care to admit.

I Agree, that's what makes this chart so funny. The Harmmered Dulcimer is not included because there are too many yes and no questions. It would not fit on the flow chart. I still plead the 5th. I was born with a guitar in my hands.
 

 
As you can see i have been doing that two hand tap thing long before Eddie, (showoff)

Cute pic.  Nice F-shape chord too.  Most people new to guitar always grab it like a bat or just put their entire hand across the strings.  Good choice on the axe as well, though those are better played standing up (I hated to put my leg into the middle of the V to play mine sitting down).

 
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

Yeah I hate that too, That is why my mom is holding it for me while I tap a tasty riff....
