What instrument would you like to be able to play?

Bass is a Yahama, Acoustic (steel) is a Gibson EJ200, Electric is an Epiphone (Les Paul copy), the nylon acoustic is a Cort - not great but it does the job.

I always wanted to play the guitar as well as drums, I have tried em but couldn't pull it off, I admire those who can sing and play.

I've always wanted to play the guitar. I took some lessons as a kid but stopped for some reason. I regret it now. I also wanted to play the piano and drums too.

It's never too late!

That's true. I wonder if I could get past having my fingers hurt holding the metal strings of the guitar. That's something that bothered me back then. It was fun tho playing even if it was basic stuff. Piano tho I don't think I have the head for...

Guitar comes naturally to me but when it comes to piano there is a serious disconnect between the head and the hands. Some people can do both with ease. I cannot. I have to really practice a piece endlessly on a piano before it sounds even halfway right. Very frustrating when you are trying to get something recorded in a hurry. As for your fingers hurting - there's really no easy way out - you have to go through the valley to get to the top of the mountain.

One thing you can try is to start with a nylon acoustic first - build up callouses on your fingertips and then migrate to steel acoustic. You have to harden the tips of your fingers in order to play properly.
