I've finially decided: I'VE GOTTA LEARN TO PLAY SOMETHING! Anyway, I called up a music store (homestead pickn pallor for those in MN) and scheduled a lesson.

My idea is that I'll go in about an hour before the lesson, and select an insterment, and buy it. A first lesson would then teach me to string and tune it (well, this is up to the instructor I guess)

So, fellow mudcatters, is that a workable plan? And what other advice would you give a rank beginner?
