Honestly - because I wanted something for just me. I absolutely love being able to sit down and learn something that I've always had an interest in and do it by myself. Working with people all day long, I find that I'm most relaxed when I'm stressing out about how to play something or trying to figure out a song that I want to learn. It's therapy in a way.....
not to mention it's just the greatest instrument ever created... you can do sooooo many things with it, so many styles, techniques etc... I love it!
but for you - it's personal choice.. do you think you want to emulate someone or did a particular person inspire you to start? Why do you think you want to play?
