Hi everyone,
Firstly I would like to apologise for what will most definitely be a VERY annoying and "n00bish" post.
I want to learn an instrument, but I am not 100% on what I would like to learn. I have minor specification for my list but some are "musts" whereas others are "would like".
I would mainly like to learn to play jazz/blues as this is the thing I have a strong interest in, I have an interest in rock music too but not overly for playing as I have tried guitar, bass, drums and I couldn't get on with them...
I'd prefer something less "fiddly" than say a guitar in respects to strings/frets and my major point is that if at all possible I would prefer it if the instrument in question was able to be "silenced" (by this I mean quiet enough for me to hear but not so much everyone on my street!)
I love the saxophone but its so loud it does put me off somewhat, I've seen the silencer style things and heard them and it doesn't really dull the sound enough as I live in quite a residential area with a lot of "busy boddies" and "neighbourhood watch" so would quite possibly have them at my throat after the first practise! lol
Learning an instrument is something I've always wanted to do and now I have the opportunity but its just finding something that fits my criteria.
Any help you can give would be GREATLY recieved and I'd like to thank you all in advance for any help.
