My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I’m dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.
Here’s everything I have learned to play because it was easy as shit:
- Flute (hardest thing is getting the mouth placement down. Once you have that you’re on easy street; and I think this is probably true of all woodwinds and brass instruments)
- Mouth harp (boingy boingy boingy)
- Ocarina
- Harmonica
- Theramin (pretend you’re a wizard!)
- Tambourine
- Taiko drums
- Bongos
- Xylophone
- Cymbals
- Cannon
The only instrument I have learned that was difficult and took years to get even semi okay at was piano. And I mostly attribute that to my small hands, because I can play so much better on a MicroKORG than a full size keyboard.
Hmm, I’d say the Theramin is easy to have fun with, but to actually learn to play songs it is up there in difficulty with the violin. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.
Not enough music features cannons.
1812 overture… Any others? Seems like something GWAR might have included somewhere.

The ukulele is pretty easy as far as guitar-like instruments go. The strings are nylon and there are only 4, so it’s easier to manage. If you like it, you can eventually learn to play the full guitar. And you only need to learn chords, not sheet music.
