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.
