Have you ever thought of taking up the bagpipes instead of guitar ! ........just asking 🤷♂️
No, guitar is best
I honestly could have gotten into bagpipes; close friends who played bagpipes daily.
But I chose not to, so instead I stuck with guitar, piano, and synthesizers.

I chose guitar and trumpet
Yes blowing ones trumpet is is a regular happening on the forums ! ✌️😎

How would you blow into it
Guys, can we make sure the discussion on this forum pertains to the original question? 😅
I don’t mind the talk about instruments, but the continuation of talking about trumpets and bagpipes may completely divert people from the original topic, which was tips and advice for said instruments.

It’s a lot like chess, you really have to want it. There are many options on line for you learn from. Get out and meet other musicians that play the style you like. Ask them questions and most of all be open-minded, thick skinned, and willing to learn from critique. Be willing to try hard enough to fail. And then try again.

I just played and played and played. Also bass and guitar (and mandolin). I watched people better than me and listened to music. It's from the heart and not the head
If you can read music and play from it you can go anywhere with any instrument. If you play by ear, like me, you are limited for instruction. Most musical instruction required knowledge of music.
Most of them are self taught. My point is that professional music training almost always requires an ability to read music. I have been playing for over 50 years and never found an instructor who didn't. I advanced either on my own or by jamming with people who knew more than me or who new different techniques, etc.

This is true. We must be fairly close in age as I’ve been in some form of music for about 57 years. I’ve had both formal and self-taught instruction. The ability to read music is very helpful but not necessary. I can read music, mostly bass and treble clef, and can translate that to many but not all instruments. I’ve played with both those who “play by ear” and readers. Regardless of the manner in which one learns, practice is vital. Practice is vital. (Repeat)
I'm 76. I started at 8 with drums in the cub scouts marching band and switched to bugle in the boy scouts and eventually led the band as drum major. Switched to trumpet in the school band. Picked up guitar in the Navy at 18. Got into a band there at 19. Added keyboard at about 30. Still play guitar. Still can't read anything but chord charts.
Woolly prefers classic guitar 🎸 ✌️😾
I play that also. A classic is a hollow non-electric with gut strings rather than metal. Gut is now plastic and many classics have added electrics.
Do you have any resources or advice that would help one gain proficiency in learning guitar?
I have been playing bass a lot more than acoustic or electric, but still find it necessary that I learn proper finger movements, chords, vice versa.
Any tips would help..!
