A guitar is fun to play and not that hard to learn (once you get around using tablatures which are easy to read) so you don't need to spend money on tuition fees. It's portable if going for acoustic. Never underestimate how much fun you can have with them at parties. Even acoustics are laud enough.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
