one of the scariest things with learning something truly unfamiliar to you is not being able to feel like you can defend your own decisions

‪i have had to make so many decisions on the course of my musical journey and i think i am constantly afraid some of them were Wrong, but i can't really let the world decide everything for me? i have to have my own taste in things, stubborn and based on strange chance as it may be‬

‪very grateful to the friendly swedish man in the music store who promised me i won't regret my choice of guitar. i think i needed that‬

@hikari Clearing that first hurdle of anxiety is so important. I'm glad that man was there for you. As a trumpet player, I often try to think in terms of what are the characteristics of this instrument. The instrument isn't necessarily good or bad. Its characteristics might be in-line with one musical tradition or another, but that doesn't mean anything more than that. My cornet sounds like early Jazz and Sousa marches, because they played cornets. My trumpet sounds fit to be a lower chair orchestra horn, because that's what people have been playing for a century. I dont regret either, because they each give me a unique opportunity to have fun
