Winter clings to the city... Darkness brings the big sad... The memes would ease the pain

A man is drinking from a ridiculously large glass. The man is me, the glass is "some wacky new hobby".
Bonus points if you recognize the title reference.
It's not all that wacky, but I bought a guitar (my first one! I'm usually a bassist) last week. It's a seven-string, and now I'm learning to play Breaking the Law by Judas Priest. It feels a bit like this instrument is wasted on me because it's a very nice one, but it's kinda fun! And every time I play the guitar, put it down after a while, and go back to my bass, playing the bass feels new and exciting again <3
If you're having fun, it's in the budget, and it enriches your life, then carry on!
It's not a waste to play an instrument badly. Most instruments are forgotten and ruined by time and decay. Loving an instrument and playing badly it is so much better than it rusting in an attic!
That's true, it's definitely better to play it badly than not at all. And I'm really glad I finally got a guitar instead of spending months looking at them online but never buying one.
