Should I learn?

Question

I want to learn guitar. My brother already plays the guitar and hates my growth of knowledge in the instrument. He's been deliberately learning instruments that i play to annoy me, e.g drums. Should I start learning guitar and let him play tricks on me and do stuff to annoy me? What should i do ? I'm very inquisitive about the guitar?

Answer 1

If you want to learn guitar, then learn guitar.  If he wants to learn drums, let him learn drums.  Honestly, why would his learning drums annoy you, and why would your learning guitar make him angry?  I don't get it?  

Consider yourself lucky! I'm the only person in my family who plays any music at all, and if either of my brothers decided to learn guitar or any other instrument I'd be thrilled to have someone in the family to play with!  As it is, I'm waiting with bated breath for my 3-year-old nephew to grow up a bit and get old enough for music lessons so that maybe he and I can play together when he gets older....

As for the other stuff, if you ignore him, don't react to his tricks and stuff and don't get annoyed by it, he'll stop behaving so childishly.

Answer 2

If you want to learn guitar then go ahead and do it. If you stop paying attention to your brother he'll stop annoying you. :)

Answer 3

If you want to learn a new instrument, don't let your brother be a deciding factor in it.  

I would be overjoyed if I had a family member that I could play music with.

If you do decide to learn guitar, and I think that you should, make sure that you don't quit practising drums.  You don't want to forget some key things to playing any instrument that you'll forget over time.  

From experience, I stopped playing saxophone to devote more time to my best [favourite] instrument, clarinet.  After a year or so of barely looking at the thing, I'm rather bad at it.

Which is a total shame.

But, good luck in whatever you decide!
