Guitar lessons
When I was a teenager I wanted to learn to play the guitar so badly. My family is very very musical. When I was 10 I taught myself to read notes and play my grandma's piano (she used to play her piano while my grandpa played his fiddle and I'd sit there mesmerized). Then when I was 14 I got my first drum set (my dad also played drums as a teen). When I was 17, at Christmas, all of the presents had been opened when my parents left the room and came back with a guitar case with a big bow on it. A brand new guitar. I started learning a bit but didn't really get into chords or anything, just some simple songs. Then my boyfriend of 3 years dumped me and I quit doing EVERYTHING!
So my guitar has been sitting around for about 5 years really not getting any use. During college I had a bunch of friends who played guitar, and we always made deals that I'd help them out studying or doing homework, if they'd teach me guitar. Well, I did a lot of helping, but never learned guitar. This year for Christmas, both Kyle and my parents got me gift certificates from the same place for lessons. I finally made the call and I have my first lesson on Monday at 6  I am SO excited about it!

I need to get motivated to learn my guitar too. I've had it for 10 years & just never really learned. I can play a few cords, but it was harder then I thought it'd be & I never really put in the time to learn. Maybe once I get my other issues resolved I'll spend the rest of my bonus on guitar lessons.

My daughter has taken a few lessons for guitar and she can play a little. She took a break from it and now I think that she's about ready to go back. My Dad used to play the guitar.
You're young and I bet that you pick it up pretty easily. Just like anything else you have to practice.

Music is wonderful! I took piano lessons when I was younger and then went on to learn to play some by ear. I then wanted to play the guitar and took lessons for awhile, but my teacher moved and I didn't persue it further. I still get it out once in awhile and play some chords. Wish I would have accomplished both, the guitar and piano.
Go for it Lindsey. It was one of my biggest regrets not to continue with lessons.
