By the way, I play guitar too. And flute, and a little piano.
I play piano a little. One of my older brothers is a self-taught musician; he writes, sings, records, arranges and plays almost every instrument well. Its just a hobby with him. He inspired me to teach myself piano centuries ago and I still really enjoy playing some pieces (classical and christmas songs and pop) but mostly writing my own stuff.
My daughter (age 11) has got the bug now (she plays flute with her school orchestra) and she has inspired me to revisit the piano and take up the guitar finally.
I've just ordered some guitar picks from amazon--I really enjoyed strumming my song by hand and getting the feel, but now my fingers are all bloody! Can one use a glove or something?
