Thanks @tiredmama! I found a great book on interesting sound effects - some guy had the guitar sounding like a banjo by weaving a paper clip through the strings!

Oh wow! i bet that would take some tuning in!! I love the whole concept of musical instruments and what those people were thinking when they hollowed out bit of wood and attached some strings. or bend some metal around to make a certain pitch and sound!! truly amazing, I only wish I was more musically inclined. thankfully I have people like you to fill that void!!

I agree! Saw an amazing video of a guy whacking piping with flip flops. Fantastic sound:

I highly recommend you trying any instrument just for fun. Doesn't have to be complicated. I think some of the best melodies are the really simple ones!
