My oldest brother was very artistic, but my other brother and I struggle with stick figures :noidea:
 
I picked up fly fishing casting really quickly...I wouldn't call myself a natural but I feel like I do pretty well with it.

when I was a kid, I got leg pumping on the swings down before everyone else.

lol yep, i have two older half-brothers and a younger brother, none of them come close to me as far as art is concerned. however, my older brother is a freakin' virtuoso on guitar, he can shred with the best of them. i was into guitar for a a few years during my senior yr of high school until i was about 21, but just fucking around on it, nothing like him. i'm a firm believer that when it comes to music, no matter how much you might practice an instrument, either you've "got it" or you don't.

I picked up a fiddle pretty quick, but wasn’t a natural. Somebody had to show me the basics and it took me a while to be able to tune and learn songs by ear.

Ya, there is quite literally no one in my family that can draw or paint. Don't know where it comes from, but I've got drawings I did at 6 years old, that'll rival anything any one of my family could do right now. lol

I am currently working on this....8"x10" untreated hardboard canvas...

It's my first time ever using acrylics.

I tried playing guitar and bass and piano when I was in college but couldn't really get the hang of any of them. Told myself I just wasn't musically gifted.

About a year ago I started learning guitar again, with much better results this time, and then earlier this year I started playing mandolin. I think I have musical ability but when I was younger I just didn't have the discipline to practice because I wanted it to come easier.

Want to goes a long ways. You get someone like me that doesn’t know how to read music, having an ear for it goes a long ways too

I've been trying to teach myself how to read sheet music for decades. Thank god for tablature. My ear is pretty good in that I know a wrong note when I hear it, but i still learn better when I have music in front of me. Takes me too long to pick out a tune completely by ear

It’s all I know how to do. Never used tabs or sheets. Fiddle and mandolin is pretty easy, but on a guitar, a lot of the time I get tired of hearing a song by the time I learn how to play it

I still want a fiddle someday. But I also want another mandolin and 3 more guitars. Lousy kids want to go to college, though
