Whyus,

Ok, this is where I can repay you for the good advise you and the others have been giving me.
First of all, I would be willing to bet that you are not tone deaf. There are some folks who cant sing a lick but can play instruments. Everyone knows what sounds pleasing to the ear and that's all you need to learn to play guitar or any other instrument for that matter. I may have left out some other requirements. You will need a great amount of patients which is something that everyone on this site seems to struggle with. However, This is a different type of patients. You will also need determination. In learning to play guitar your fingers are going to go through a great deal of trauma. Once you work through the pain you will have finger tips of steel.

Learning an to play an instrument is extremely therapeutic. It is something that you will cherish for the rest of your life. It will never leave you or judge you. you give to it what it needs (the requirements) it will repay you 10 fold.

Going through this situation with my W has been extremely stressful but I have turned to music as one of my GAL techniques. Also music and playing an instrument quiets your mind. I thank God for the gift that he has given me every night before bed. I was fortunate to have grown up in a family of musicians. I cant remember the first time I held a guitar or sat behind a piano. My mother had me playing and singing at church at 5 years old.

Do you have a guitar? if not you can get one relatively cheap 100-200$. Do you have the time to dedicate to it? I would love to return some of the help ive gotten from this site and I feel that I can get you and anyone else going on guitar.

BTW last night went great. The kids had a few melt downs(nothing M or R related) in which I was able to help with. And the best part was I was able to STFU.

Hope you all have a great day.
