I will never understand how musical aptitude ever became synonymous with being some sort of sissified girliman.

Elton John......Little Richard..jk.

I think it sucks Little Richard isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Good Golly Miss Molly will still be played after we are all dead.

I bought my wife a real upright piano a few years back and I was running through a teach yourself CD. Was going well. Other stuff became a priority.

I do play a little guitar a lot of Bass guitar. Singing is my best instrument though. Wish I could sing and play an instrument better though I'm convinced it just takes time and who has that?

Self-taught myself some piano a few years ago. Never got too good...Hardest thing I can probably play is Canon by Pachebel but not the low-octave chords with the left hand. I gotta use both hands to play the melody of the song basically. I was a drummer throughout elementary/middle school, so I never learned how to read sheet music, just the beats. whole notes, half, 4th, 8th, 16th, etc.

If you're gonna teach yourself an instrument, learn guitar. I've been self-taught for about 3 years now, and it's definately a fun instrument to pick up. If you get lessons, you'll probably end up being better at shredding, as they teach you the different scales which is what most solo's are made out of anyway....just simple scales. I'm still kinda slow on shredding, but that's also because my electric is shtein so I always play on the acoustic, and mine won't let you get much farther then the 15th fret. I'm gettin a 250-300 dollar electric with income tax refund though.

Learning guitar is much easier if you're going to self-teach because there are guitar tabs all over the net which don't rerquire you being able to know how to read sheet music.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

I actually was an excellent piano player circa age 13-14.  I actually went so far as to perform "Flight of the Bumblebee" rather flawlessly in a recital.  I tried to play it last time I sat down at a piano.  Not good.

So much for that.  I guess if we ever get a piano in the house at some point, I'll dabble a bit.

For some reason I feel like you'd take that piano in your house and learn Vanessa Carlton with it. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
