Is Playing An Instrument Nerdy?

Question

My friends laugh at me for playing guitar. I'm always practicing trying to be better. They laugh at me and make fun of me for not going out enough. Is this bad for trying to really excel at something like this? I've also picked up singing and songwriting too. Plus I'm only 14.

Answer 1

No, in the end they will be jealous. Instrument playing is a cherished skill. In fact I play 3 instruments myself and I love every moment I play them. Not many people have the ability to make their own music. Go for it.  

Answer 2

I am telling you right now it is so hot to play an instrument, in a couple of years you are going to be considered hot for playing the guitar and everyone else is going to be jealous they never had a chance to learn.  

Answer 3

Im 14 too!!!! =]

And playing guitar it NOT nerdy at all!!!

and if u can sing then ur hot!!!

Seriously girls love a guy that can sing and play guitar =]

My boyfriend can play the piano and the saxaphone =]

And everytime a girl finds out that im dating him they ALWAYS say how cute he is...and they all know that he can play intruments =]

So it doesnt make u nerdy because u play an intrument.

Dont let ur friends get to u =]

Hope this helped!!! =]
