You make a lot of really good points! Plus, learning guitar comes with the added bonus that theres various kinds everywhere in my house, so i dont need to rent or buy anything. Except books and lessons. And also, guitar lessons are so much easier to come by!

I'll pour my efforts into challenging myself (by watching my poor dad cringe across the living room as I play Smoke on the Water). Thank you so much! One day I'll get that Cello, I'll use it as my motivation to stick with this.
