What Should I Learn Breakdance or Guitar?
Posted in learn guitar on 03. Jul, 2010
Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: so ill start this off by im 12 if i chose break which if i want to be good it will take about 2 or more years and it has more of a Wow factor at like dances and parties… guitar on the other hand takes maybe about 6 months to get decent and it would be easier to get girls with it soo im not sure which to pick so any bboys/guitarist please help me give cons and pros i really need help :/

Answer: Well, Average Mike is a bit of a cynic, but he is right in this case. After 6 months of guitar you won’t be a decent guitarist, you’ll still be a beginner. I started playing guitar when I was 7 and am now 44. I’m still learning. I can’t dance at all though, so I’d have no idea how long it takes, but I’d guess 2 years is a big stretch there too for being a "good" dancer. My personal recommendation would be to learn guitar because I’ve been playing it most of my life and love playing and singing. If you are a really good dancer and have good rhythm and moves (you should know that by 12 years old), then I’d pursue that if it’s what you like. If you’re already 12 though and have no idea whether you can dance and you move like a gawky ostrich or something, then I’d avoid pursuing dance. Only you can decide what’s right for you. And don’t worry which will get girls. Any girl you get just because you play guitar or dance who isn’t really interested in you as a person, is probably not worth having.
Oh, one other thing, at 44, even if I had learned to dance, I’d probably not still be break dancing. I still play guitar every day and will until my fingers fall off. Keep that in mind because break dancing will probably only be something you really do for the next 10 – 20 years.

You would reasonably expect to be able to play guitar the rest of your life. The same cannot be said of break dancing. Stick with the guitar. (takes way more than 6 months to learn btw)
Hey breakdancin is great for a couple of years.. but to be able to learn the guitar is fantastic, girls love it, and you can just chill in your room for hours, you can start a band etc. I want to learn guitar and write lyrics.. Breakdancin is good fun though, what does your head say?? Go with it and dont screw the other one, 1 or the other
break dancing coz it’ll keep you fit and healthy as well attracting girls
hi dear friend, you should learn both because both will give you a better future if you have some interest.
I play guitar, it totally worthwhile taking it up
I did my first performance 2 months after I took it up and Won with a rally easy Taylor Swift song 
It didn’t take me too long to get good, most of the best songs only have like 3 or 4 chords in them
But breakdancing is really cool
Why not do both?
It takes time to get good at anything worthwhile ;D
Guitar. For sure, you can learn the breakdance anytime. But starting the guitar early is better because by the time you’re twenty you’re skill, if you’ve kept it up, will be quite incredible. 12 year old girls dig a guy who can breakdance, 21 year old girls dig a guy who can play a guitar.
You must choose guitar first. break dancing is what you will still learn in the long run. Start small and become great.
whats wrong with trying both? 1 or 2 hours of each on consecutive nights, you’ll soon see which one you lean more towards.
you know the breakdancing guitarist still hasnt been done on youtube…
>> guitar on the other hand takes maybe about 6 months to get decent …<<
I remember when I was 12 and I thought I knew everything too. In 6 months you’ll be a beginner who knows a few chords and a few songs. It takes years to become a good guitarist.
Break dancing. then once you have that down … learn the guitar . breakdancing will keep you so fit throughout your life, it’s so awesome for you to want to get into that
