@cambraca my #FirstDabble was an mystifying encounter with a DX7.
I was 16 I'd moved to Wales to live with my dad and most of his friends were musos. I'd said I wanted to learn keys, mostly cos back then A-ha and Peter Gabriel were big favs.
So, a friend of his lent me his DX7 and I could not do anything with it completely defeated.
Luckily my Dad had a couple of Nylon Stringed guitars and the Complete Guitarist book laying about. Over the next couple of years I taught myself the basics.
@Weru I hear ya. 16-year-old me didn't appreciate how much time he had to just .. play.
So much time...
@cambraca Oh, god yeah. I mean we were in a cottage on a hill in the middle of nowhere.
I do wonder if I'd been back in the city with more to grab my attention would I ever have learnt to play?🤔
