Name some stuff in music youve done, or not done that you regret.

Mine is dropping the saxaphone, i started playing it in 6th grade had the band teacher from hell (literealy this guy was the meanest drunk ever, everyone hates him and he should be fired parents hate him but he had good behavior until he got tenure) and i dropped it, and started playing guitar, im glad i play guitar, but wish i had kept playing saxaphone...

Also from about Mid february through october 2003, i didnt play guitar almost any, just sortof drifted out of it awhile, and then mid october, i just picked up my guitar and started playing again, and kinda had to start over somewhat.

Quitting the drums and sax after three or four years. I wish I had stuck with them, but dropping them resulted in me picking up the guitar. That's a positive thing.

I'm glad I stuck with the piano, though.

I was on state street, playing guitar. Then I got all my stuff together (I thought), and walking back to my car I realized, "oh shit, my mom's old capo!" I ran back, and it was gone. She wasn't happy about it

. It wasn't a great capo, but was from the 60s.

Quitting piano after 2 years of playing. I was getting really good with it and learning fast but quit due to sports and everything but looking back I definitely regret quitting it.

Not taking Piano lessons as a kid

Coldplay made the piano cool

I regret stopping playing piano, and not taking more guitar lessons (you can never learn enough).

I taught this kid from the town I live at guitar for about a year and a half. I taught him everything he would ever need to know in order to become a friggin' awesome guitarist, but you know what? He up and drops the lessons. I held off on other students because he was doing so good, but then he said "Well I haven't been paying attention because scales and stuff are stupid and its not the 80's anymore, so yea, your fired." After packing up and leaving...I discovered that he now plays ska and listens to stuff like flogging molly and reel big fish, worships them as the premiere musicians of our time. My God I will never get that year and a half back, I could've actually helped someone.

i regret not starting to play guitar until 9th grade and not taking it very seriously for the first year or so. a couple more years would have made such a difference

I wish I would have done more instruments when I was younger, maybe trumpet or violin.
