Dude picked the flute because he thought there were already too many guitar players in music and that he'd never be as good as Hendrix or Clapton. Never learned to "properly" play until after his daughter was old enough that she had learned to play herself and encouraged him to actually learn to play properly. Personally I think he did pretty good. https://youtu.be/pqxwXla3-Bw?si=h31p1iXQsNhV8wwf
