The first item on the list? Entirely Guitar Hero's fault.
Three months ago, I barely had any desire to try and learn a musical instrument (again... had a number of violin lessons in my very younger years). Now? God, I keep looking on Craigslist for a bass I can afford so I can start learning.
I've got another friend who's followed the same path.
So rather than GH being incentive to ignore the chance to learn the real thing, why not those few who actually go "Hey, this is pretty cool. Why don't I try out an actual instrument?"
Somewhat of an interesting correlation, but my appreciation for music has broadened significantly since I started playing. I've started asking friends for heavy metal tracks, now.
