    Wow. You could play a gig and do your tax return at the same time.

    To be honest most of the guitar based songs I listen to makes me wish I had learned another instrument...

    I tried one of these but the cost of a new ceiling made me rethink my choice.

    I'll get a round to buying a 'real' guitar one day.

    Like @axisus I've always fancied the button accordian. My nan played one when I was a kid and I loved it's sound. I nearly bought one after seeing the clip below of Sharon Shannon at Glastonbury and then revitalised the desire for one when David Bruce did his '5 Composers' video with Ian Watson stealing the show. Thinking about it again now.

    I borrowed a small piano accordion once. It was utterly impossible to play! I think the button one would be even harder.

    Was never into jazz all that much, but Grappelli's violin always sounds so beautiful that I'd really love to learn.

    Led Zep, When the Levee Breaks - Harmonica

    Also, anyone who says they can listen to In The Air Tonight without wanting to learn drums is just trying to be too cool for school.

    Harmonica. I regularly hear old Dylan or Stones songs and think "I should take that up, it sounds great". 

    Then I listen to the J Geils Band and say "forget it!"

    Penny Lane, Piccolo trumpet.

    I tried to play one a few times and found it imposisble
    and I was Grade 7 on  a normal trumpet!

    Possibly the only thing I have in common with HM the Queen is that we are both big George Formby fans.  One day when I have far too much spare time I intend to learn all his songs and the Ukulele solos which are a lot harder then you might think.  I have just about mastered the thumb drag thing but I reckon I need to spend a lot of money on a really good uke... that's what too many years of playing the guitar does to you ...

    I came in here to add the same, Black Crowe's "Descending."  Intro and outro.  Lovely piece.

    Also, the drums on "Everlong".  Probably not that complicated, but the speed and energy, as with a lot of Dave Grohl stuff.

    Got an old French Horn here and tried our Drummer's tenor Sax, seemed to be able to get a tune out of both straight away.  Then someone said play a tune on the French horn then and I forgot how to even get a noise out of it.  I think it's all in your head.  Both instruments are arguably easier to play well than the guitar. Muscle memory aside though, if you're frantically masturbating on the thing like a 13 year old and you have a tune in your head, it's gonna come out sooner or later.  Love Dougie MacLean's The Gael and got a violin, after some vague memory of having a go when I was young.  Managed to get it done, but no way I'd learn the instrument, it's shit.  I mean, I respect the instrument and people who can play it and I like the dissonance factor and the fretless thing, but the tone just doesn't motivate me enough to pull me through to practice enough. Also it's right in our ear and there's no volume control.

    Any song with a really great Guitarist.
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    anything by Augustus Pablo partly because his use of the melodica is so haunting and partly because you feel surely it can't be all that difficult....can it...


    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Green Onions - Hammond organ
    I've been trying for about 10 months! I've got to grips with a load of other songs but that one is hard (too many black notes, for one thing)
