Great idea. Unfortunately I don't play any instruments. Really wish I would have learned one, but I doubt I could have actually played anything.


It's NEVER too late to learn an instrumemt. Some are easier than others like Ukulele. Music will keep you occupied and it does make one happy.

Yeah this is sort of how I am. I simply don't have a wide range of things I care about. And like you said, the ones I do I often even get bored of.

How do you deal with that? How do you not let it annoy those around you? Because that's really my biggest issue.

While on the one hand you are right, I couldn't see myself getting anything out of playing an instrument unless it was a guitar bass or drums. Maybe keyboards. Just like my interests my musical tastes are extremely narrow. Metal or bust. I literally think there's not a single song in existence that I like that couldn't be place in a metal subgenre. Nothing else interests my ears at all. Much actually pisses me off like country and pop.

So I'd have no idea what to even do with an instrument that isn't a typical rock instrument.

So learn a typical rock instrument. If you like to sing as well go for either keys or guitar. Bass/drums are fun as hell if you have backing tracks or play in a band with friends. Every genre can be played with those instruments. It's either different sounds (say on keys or electronic drums), different playing technique or different instrument (model, pickup etc.)

Yeah I hear you. Just don't think that would work at my age. I'm not very musical and have very little dexterity. I'd prolly have had to played for a long time to be any good. Not to mention I really really suck at learning new things. I have very little tolerance for failure. I get anxiety when things take too long. If I can't have instant gratification I lose interest. Which is probably why I don't have many interests or skills. Thus why I am often bored.
