Hunter Hayes played every instrument on his debut album, and most people would consider him somewhat of a musical prodigy who seems to be able to play just about anything he picks up, but he recently told The Country Vibe, that’s not entirely accurate. “I completely failed a couple years ago trying to figure out how to play fiddle,” he admitted. “It is one fretless instrument that I am afraid to touch. I’m afraid to be in a same room as a fiddle. I don’t know, I picked it up and tried it for like months, and then finally realized, ‘You know what, it’s not supposed to happen,’ and I just let it go.” Hunter also says he struggled at steel guitar for a while. “I still do.” Not one to give up too easily though, he told us, “I may try again in the future. I anticipate trying.”
