gonzai[Error: unknown template qotd]In elementary school and middle school I played flute in the band. Not well.
Tried teaching myself harmonica and piano. Neither worked.
Started guitar in middle school and played up until about ten years ago. I was good in theory - literally. Music theory, scales, chords, sight reading treble clef - no problem. Hearing tones, improvising, reading bass clef...terrible. And people kept wanting me to play bass instead, but my hands are too small and the whole reading bass clef thing. Gave it up for good when my hands started hurting, I do miss it sometimes but the hands just can't handle it.
