Folks, I had an interesting conversation with a mother yesterday that made me wonder:

Lessons or self-taught on your instrument of choice?

I take lessons because:

* I like having someone there for guidance about what I am doing right and wrong
* I like music theory
* I want to be pushed a bit in a direction I would never have thought of (Jimi Hendrix for example. Who would have thought I would learn 3 of his songs.)
