You pass by that particular instrument. You see it gleaming in the light, beckoning you to stop in your tracks. You pause, close your eyes, and indulge in a little day-dream of playing it. You imagine the joy of musical expression through that instrument.
Stop dreaming! It's time to take that definitive step to pick the instrument up and learn it!

Some questions you may have at the back of your mind:
I don't know if I can do it! It just seems so hard. I don't even know if I have musical talent.
Nothing is easy when you first start out. In fact, there will be times when you'll feel like quitting--and it's those times which you will experience the greatest growth as a musician. Talent is one thing, but perseverance is another.
How long will I take to make progress?
It can take as little as 3 weeks to as long as 3 years for musicians to grasp the basics of their instrument. Personally, I took 2 years before anything on the guitar made sense. However, what's more important than the quantity of practice time is the quality of it. If you practice well, you'll learn the instrument a lot faster.
