What it comes down to is practice. practice, practice, practice. It's all about getting used to the movement. I taught myself how to play guitar. I practiced and practiced. I don't know the first thing about music but kept at it. Now I'm going back to learning how to play piano mostly because of coldplay and wanting to play the songs (learning Amsterdam right now) The hardest thing is reading the music. Once it's figured out I just play over and over again and eventually I get it. (Obviously I have nil talent well maybe just a little because I can play an instrument but it hasn't come that easy) So go for it man! "If you never try then you'll never know" Don't expect to be a Beethoven or Chris Martin for that matter but you will be happy that you at least tried. Good luck and put your heart into it!
