I would say Guitar and Piano are the instruments I would like to pick up

These are two instruments that you can do a lot with on your own.

I learned to play guitar [mostly] on my own, with information I found on the internet. I would recommend that you pick up a decent acoustic guitar and google 'beginning guitar' and start from there. It's really helpful once you've piddled with it some to have someone else who plays decently listen to you. Guitar lessons are usually rather cheap, too, if you want to go that route. Even just a few lessons could really get you started.

Piano is a little more complicated. You can do a lot with a piano if you have a good ear and good coordination. For me, personally, piano is a struggle and has taken a lot more work/patience/practice. Most likely, if you want to play piano you'll definitely need lessons.

The good thing is that there are always a lot of people who play these two instruments, and a lot of them give lessons for reasonable prices.
