What Was Your First Instrument That You Learned With

[Session 5]

Mine was the Fender Squire Afinitti Strat. My first instrument to learn with. It was a very descent guitar and for the money 9 years ago. You would be hard pressed to beat that guitar for quality and price $269.00. Not only that, it included the 10G amp , guitar strap and a few other goodies. I no longer have it , I sold it to a buddy, and to this day continues to play it as his main electric..

Are we talking specifically guitar? Or any musical instrument?

Not me just a random kid, but violin and then the baritone.

After 2 or 3 years i hated it.Didnt pick up a guitar for 20 years.Then picked one up and started playing

Mine was a Global brand sort of SG copy thing that came from Montgomery Ward, along with the attendant truly terrible Global amp. It was an utter POS but I played it non-stop. Luckily it wasn't for too long though - I got my first proper guitar (a '77 LPC) less than a year later.

I did use my uncle's Supro Ozark for 4 months fof the folks to see if I would like it and stick to it. Then that Xmas in 78 they bought me the Goya L6-S copy whoch I still have and love today!

Sixth grade. I thought I wanted to play trumpet. Band director suggested trombone. We went trombone and happy we did. As time went on, both my boys played trombone as does my oldest granddaughter. And shes the best of all of us. Plays in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Fast forward several years and my first guitar was a 12 string Yamaha acoustic.

I started with violin in first grade. Tried cello for a while. Before I played violin, I had a cheap Melodica similar to the photo, and a couple of harmonicas. Ironically, with all the musical instrument type toys my parents would buy when I was really young, they always thought that my requests to play guitar would be a passing fad, and I'd lose interest. It was the one musical instrument they were never supportive with.

"Hey, do you mind packing up the bands gear and maybe getting some the trash out around here? Thanks."

I actually like the percussion section..... to watch..... definitely not to play. Same goes for watching the drummer in a band. I can't do it, so I watch.

Started on Alto Saxophone in the 6th grade. Played that until the 8th grade when our band teacher retired and was replaced with the biggest ass-hat on the planet. Taught JR High band like he was managing Jethro Tull.
