So tired ^^

@Amanda I think once I've mastered the acoustic I want to try my hand at the electric. I've never played an instrument so for me it's extra hard. &my hands are, like, super small. So some notes are harder than others.

Haha it's funny because my sister asked me why I didn't name the guitar something masculine. But I just think of it as a girl, I guess?
&you're not psycho!! I like your reasoning behind why you named him Percy.

I am also cursed with tiny hands! lol, it's not a curse when you have to reach into small spaces, but playing piano and guitar is quite the challenge. It's one of the things I miss about the viola--they have such skinny necks, it doesn't matter how long or short your fingers are.

How come you don't play viola anymore? &do you also play piano? I would love to learn the piano as well but I have a hard time with having to use both hands at once lol.

&yeah, having small hands isn't always a bad thing.

I played viola in school, and with the move to high school, we went from being able to have seven classes to only six, and I wanted to take a foreign language and guitar, which left no room for orchestra. I really miss it sometimes, but overall, I'm happy with my decision. There's a lot more you can do with the guitar, if you get good. And I'm learning to play piano--I've been taking it for almost a year, now. I actually find it a whole lot easier than the guitar, because of my rhythm-deficient right hand, lol.

@Amanda Oh I see. Well you can always play it on your own. I've actually heard that playing piano is easier to learn than the guitar, even if you don't have a rhythm-deficient hand lol. Did you also take classes to learn the guitar? I found some pretty good YouTube videos that are lessons for beginners which I'm using now. If I can't teach myself, I'll move on to classes.

I took a year of fingerstyle guitar, and have been teaching myself chords and strumming techniques sporadically. I'm currently taking a guitar theory class that is helpful for composing music, matching chords to melodies, improvising on the guitar, ect. So the answer is yes and no, lol.

Lol well that's awesome. Especially the class you're taking now. It sounds interesting.

It's very interesting! I know all about keys, modes, motives, (insert fancy technical term here) now! I feel all intelligent and stuff, lol.
