So It seems like mostly everyone asks this question but I figured I would ask for myself too. Honestly I have an idea what I want to do, so this is partly me just rambling and welcoming advice and thoughts.
I am a older family guy. I work in construction for a living but Photography is my passion. Lately I have been photographing a lot of local shows and honestly enjoying the hell out of and it has had me wanting to learn how to play too. This might be a passing interest but its something I do want to do. As much as I listen to music, I don't know a damn thing about it. I played the piano when I was in middle school but honestly my memory is trash.
What am I looking for? Something I can play indoors or on the back porch. Something I could play quietly because I do expect to suck starting out, and we live in a townhouse so not trying to piss everyone off. I also like deep toned instruments. Eventually possibly playing with others? Not looking to join a band or anything but it would be cool to get together with other artsy people and play.
I think the easy answer here is the piano/keyboard. Doing bare minimum research It seems it would be too easy to get a smaller keyboard to learn on that I can plug into my computer or headphones and play at my desk.
I like the idea of a guitar also. My understanding is resonator guitars give a deeper tone without going to the extremes of a bass but are also pretty loud.
Viola's seem cool but honestly that seems a bit much.
