Do you play an instrument?

Recommended Posts

well shit, i was hoping you'd be the first. be an innovator, and combine your virtuosity with a finely-honed ability of expressing yourself onstage through the power of interpretive dance.

Hey, is there such a thing as a cheap violin? I've never attempted to price one, and know precisely dick about the instrument. I want one to make noise on for the time being.

I played the violin for about a month in the 3rd grade.

 

And packing to move house on Monday, I found my first (and only) violin sheet music book.

I'm not a graceful man.

use it to your advantage and turn it into a painfully expressive, erratic sort of st vitus's dance.

Four years of guitar - metal/ hard rock

One year of drums - whatever I can do

ACtually, yeah, there IS a such thing as a cheap violin. If you've got like, a Pied Piper/Fox Music/Young Musicians in your town, you can probably find one. Other than that, check out sharmusic.com. There SHOULD be some cheap student instruments on there.

I'm glad that I actually decided to started playing the guitar a few years ago at a young age, because I have more time for experience.

 

And what got The Rising Star banned?

He bad-mouthed USA, but didn't get a chance to elaborate on why.

Also he said he hated the new Harry P-movie (is that a crime) and said Latvia were better than England and Spain in soccer.

I just got a bass the other day. So now I'm a one man band.

I play several instruments at a moderate to intermediate level, the only thing I'm really anything to speak of on is, well... turntables.

Are turntables your favorite, also? I don't know how to actually play the thing properly, but I love the autoharp. It's impossible to play it wrong, really.

I've been playing piano since 1977 (and boy, do my fingers hurt.) I have perfect pitch, so I can listen to a song a few times and then play it relatively accurately.

 

Some friends taught me how to play minimalist guitar about seven years ago. Mainly I do chord strumming and a little finger-picking, but nothing too earth-shattering. Nowadays I just watch other people play and pick up what I can.

 

I played drums and clarinet in grammar school for a year, and have subsequently forgotten everything I learned.

I've learned in my experience that experience doesn't necessarily matter when it comes to playing guitar unless you've mastered all your chords and can play by ear, then it'll make a difference between two people, per se, but I've seen guys who'll say "Oh I've been playing for like 8 years now" and know someone who has less than 3 years' experience blow them away.

Yeah, they're my favorite, which I imagine they shall remain, unless I one day learn the theramin.

You can get a kit and build your own theremin for like..45 bucks for a cheap one. They can get pricey when they're assembled, though. Same as anything. I've actually been looking into these, as it'd be a great addition to the top of the five dollar keyboard.
