Intstrumental

It's actually really insulting when people say that they can 'play' instruments (well) when in fact, they cannot. Because some of us actually can play those instruments well, and have spent the majority of our lives practicing these instruments every day, to get good and to be able to say 'I can play this instrument.' (and some people are geniuses, but there's not too many of those around :P). There is such a big difference between 'being able to play a bit of guitar' and actually being able to play the guitar. And then there's a difference between someone who 'plays the guitar' and a 'guitarist.' It was quite a proud moment of my life when my music teacher told me she would now call me a pianist, whereas before I was Josh who 'plays the piano.'
