I had some ear bending when I first started playing French horn though. And we won't talk about when I tried teaching myself bass guitar briefly - I'd have got there if I didn't go off to art school.

Ok..that's the strangest story ever...you start out with the most difficult string instrument (and arguably the most difficult to learn of all instruments), then move to the most difficult brass instrument....then you're defeated by the ELECTRIC BASS? Dude....?!?! Being a functional bass player is so easy that I got PAID the first time I played bass. Now, Victor Wooten, Jaco, etc...that's a whole different ball o' skill...but anyone with an ounce of musical training..and you sure have pounds more than that... and about twenty minutes could play in most garage bands. If you dig it, stay with it!
