I lack the coordination required to be any good at playing most instruments I would otherwise be interested in learning. I also don't like doing things I'm bad at, so I'd probably not get far learning.

I can just imagine birthday/Christmas.

There must be a shortage of them within that range from me, because I've bashed about every kind of minor bar chord on my guitar and it has done JACK SHIT.

If you turn it up to 11 I swear you'll get laid without even having to play anything. At 11 you just have to hold a guitar to have girls swarming for you.

I've played the piano since I was seven and the cello since I was eight.
I prefer the cello, though I play piano more often.

One finger: bottom three strings on third fret. Gm/C. Easiest chord on a standard tuning guitar.

I play the trumpet quite well. I have attempted to learn how to play piano and guitar, and I own one of the latter, but the multiple notes at once type thing is a bit difficult for me, especially on piano where there are four different parts going.

You conveniently leave out the scientific data that shows conclusively that guitar playing is only a significant factor in one's probability of getting laid when one plays EXTREMELY boring songs.

Playing guitar to get laid is an affront to nature, god, music, democracy, non-douchebagginess.
