It’s so much fun. What’s great about the guitar is that unlike something like the tin whistle, or the violin, it sounds tolerable when played by a beginner. You learn your first couple chords and keep in decent rhythm and you can slink into your room and not really bother anyone while you practice. This makes it easy to get better, because there you’re less likely to get super discouraged.
Find a cheapie on ebay and get someone two teach you your first chord. Then, learn a second chord and a little song you can play with just the two. That way you can get excited and you’ll keep practicing.
I find playing guitar really helps mellow me out emotionally. Whereas I used to just sing, and it was kind of a release for me, now I sing and play. I find that this new combination of emotion with dicipline and focus is really good for my moods. I think it’s way better than a puppy, but that’s just me.

So I can play those Gordon Lightfoot songs in the same key as your man himself.
