Is anyone learning a musical instrument over lockdown?

If so what instrument and for how long?
What are your resources for learning it?
What is the reason behind choosing to learn that instrument?

(No better time than now!)

Exactly, beats wasting more time playing vidya.

No BS - I have a ton of resources available if you want to specify an instrument / level of experience.

I've purchased a 5 string Banjo over lockdown, there are a few resources online. However it's not a popular instrument in Australia.

Love to all goats!

Even if its just a reprieve from the hate for a few minutes, we have accomplished something here today.

Let's enrich each other goats, perhaps we can suggest subs as well to collate a wealth of knowledge into sustainable horticulture, residential construction, toolmaking, sailing and flying theory or other resources to build us up?

We've been doing that for 4 years now, every Friday night starting at 8pm et, on the Friday Night Guitar Thread (open to all instruments, any skill level). It's currently over at https://poal.co/s/Guitar but we have seen quite a decrease in participation lately and would encourage any musician who would like to share their work to join us. Music is always better when shared.

I bought myself a student's fiddle a month ago (Cremona SV-500), not lockdown related though, just a personal challenge to learn something new and in time become that guy who'd rather make people dance than entertain normie discussions at social gatherings.

Found a few old time fiddlers in my area for some lessons, besides that I also purchased the Essential Elements for Strings method & was given the Suzuki method books afterwards by a fren.

Mandolin, about six months. Mandolins are used for White People music.

I was contemplating getting a mando, a banjo or a trumpet. Landed on the Banjo.

Sadly no. I gave up the guitar when I gave up weed. Something about the lack of one kills my jive on the other. *spelling
