I'm 19 years old. I've never been able to play any instrument well. I tried guitar in high school and failed pretty hard at that (I don't think my heart was in it...I think I just wanted to get girls more easily 
). Anyways, despite my lack of musical talent, I've always loved listening to music. I've been thinking about learning to play the keyboard for about a year now- something about it is just very appealing to me. I like the versatility of it. Recently I attended a Dream Theater concert, and Jordan Rudess was totally epic; that's when I knew I wanted to learn soon- 30 years from now, I want to be 10% as good as he is. So, I just ordered some stuff off Amazon; a CTK-5000, a stand, some headphones, and a couple self instructing books. I really hope to do well with this instrument and therefore I plan to be semi-active on this forum...so...just wanted to say "hey!" hopefully you guys won't mind answering some silly questions I'll inevitably have.
