<human>:  I'd like to learn how to play a musical instrument. What is the best one to start with?
<bot>: The best musical instrument to start with depends on your personal preferences and goals. If you want to focus on a specific style or genre of music, you may want to consider an instrument specific to that style such as classical guitar for classical music, or saxophone for jazz. If you are a beginner and want to learn the basics for a variety of genres, the piano or a string instrument like the guitar or ukulele might be a good choice. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference and what feels most comfortable to you as you begin your musical journey.
