wow you can play guitar and you learnt on your own... great !! You are awesome Denise !!
Yes, actually. That is why I was able to teach my own self the guitar when I was interested in it as a teen. Other instruments-not so much. :)

Well then you are half good a musician :) You have a good ear for the music right :D
I just clicked on your response here and have to chuckle- NO, I am not a good musician. I tinker around with musical instruments and appreciate those who play well. :)

Great hub. some of the instruments are similar to the traditional Ethiopian music instruments I wrote about in my hub. This is one of the ways music brings the world together.
