May I recommend the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini.

Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr. I havn't read Brisngr yet. But they are great books.

May I recommend not reading those books?

Eugh! Catchter in the Rye?

I can't stand that book!

Yea, most people either love it or hate it. I happen to love it as do a lot of people that I know that are into high end literature, but there are also a lot of high end literature types who don't like it.

I was never good at it.

Nah, it wasn't too bad, I was just suggesting a little improvement.

They do cut it. I once finished chaos sanctuary with mine.

Untwinked? And what about the fact that its on hardcore? The risk is too much without revives.

haha thanks for the help guys. I think id rather take up guitar, and with some guidance from freinds and videos or whatever, I can figure it out.

Well, if you just want to learn how to play the guitar from videos on youtube then I'm sorry, but I'm extremely skeptical about you doing anything but being able to read tab and copy other works. At least get a teacher.

and I've met a lot of pianists and heard them play and I guess there's something with my ear but I find piano music rather boring.

I would recommend looking up some Chopin, that is really good piano music in my opinion.

I prefer music performed by a recorder, in C minor.

I assume you're attempting sarcasm. Try F# Locrian next time, much worse to listen to.

You are going to need revives. You'll get to Hell and find your skelies are not cutting it.

Alright, well, since you have little knowledge, I would recommend staying away from the guitar...because honestly, people who pick up the guitar and don't understand music usually end up just getting fast, but when you ask them what key they're in they just look at you funny. If you start with keyboard/piano and get a solid teacher you might start understanding how to make music rather than just playing random chords and hoping they sound good.

But if your mind is set on getting a guitar I'd say just buy an inexpensive one, because then if you find that you don't have the will to learn music then you didn't waste a whole chunk of cash.

EDIT: Curse you Goodguy beating me to post. And Snowfreak too. Am I really that slow a poster?

EDIT 2: After reading Goodguy's post, definitely follow his advice, its what I was trying to say, its just he said it better.

Backpacks are definitely a horrible idea. When I'm killing demons, I do not care whether it is realistic or not.

Just out of curiosity, how much previous musical knowledge do you have and what are you planning on doing with your instrument? I think the options are pretty much performing, writing, just having fun, or a combination of the three.

EDIT: For your information, quality is pretty irrelevant until you start to get pretty good at an instrument. Or at least that's what I've found from my experience.

Woot! Go Canadians.

You're definitely welcome here.

if you have ever read the comics you would know that deadpool was the only character in marvel comics to ever be able to break the 4th wall (ie to the audience and know that he is in a comic book)'

Actually, I'm pretty sure Loki and She-Hulk have broken the 4th wall at points. In fact, I thought that Loki told Deadpool he was in a comic book.

Personally, why not just learn both of them?

If you want to songwrite I'd personally say that the keyboard is better, so much easier to have the chord progression and a melody at the same time.

Hmm, well I don't really know what you're looking for.

But an awesome book is Catcher in the Rye.

About a kid who can't really stand life. Very well written.

Alright, I'm going to add two bands to my original list, because I forgot them.

Smashing Pumpkins - Today, 1979, Disarm
The Offspring - Self Esteem, Come Out and Play, Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)

It's a really good song but a far incomplete depiction of Pink Floyd. It was probably the most accessible song on Dark Side of the Moon though and that's why it got so much radio play. The most incredible Pink Floyd Songs were Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I also like Fat Old Sun from their Atom Heart Mother album.

I think my favourite is probably either Mother or Run Like Hell.
