The best thing about Mudcat is the people here. One of the things the people do is get us to see things with different eyes, and to take chances. I thought I was incapable of learning guitar because of an old injury. I read was influenced by people here and wound up buying one of the buggers. Then I got speakerphone lessons from Rick in Canada, and I soaked up all the guitar threads. I'm still pretty bad (I need to find someplace to take serious lessons) but I can play.

Actually, this place is NOT where someone with the slightest hint of Instrument Acquisition Disorder should be.
