music theory:

I tried Banjo first, could mess around but kinda sucked ass and stopped. Picked up piano at like 22, had a lot of time and was really really motivated. Learning music theory really is super essential and honestly you can pick up any instrument and play if you know it. I could learn banjo a lot easier if I wanted to, now that i know more about the fundamentals of music-making. If you try guitar first, and learn theory, you'd probably be good but I personally found it really difficult and having a keyboard laid out like it is just makes a lot more sense to my mind.

Don't underestimate what a giant headache really learning an instrument can be though, especially with theory is it takes a lot of mental concentration. Anyone can do it though, really. You just have to stick to it, keep doing it, keep finding it interesting, be eager to learn, learn how to practice, study, etc etc.

I just bought a Hohner wooden recorder for like $30 because i've been listening to medieval music, and that's easy to learn too, very portable, very fun.
