cello is NOT a nerd instrument, i think they're gorgeously low. but thats just me

**SpookG** · 06-9-2003, 11:51 PM

heh.. SUper is right.. I have a mute button in my mind that can make melodies vanish except what I want to hear, or hear a song and then add in my own parts on top of it, taking away those i don't want. etc. I don't think normal people can do this, too. it comes probably from writing so much music.

Thanks in advance

Arch0wl's right, You just gotta play. The only advice I can give you is to play different kinds of songs. Like train your hand to do every single kind of arrowbeat situation....It's hard to explain. Just play wide varieties of songs, you're never going to get as good as us if you just place FFR, there's not enough songs.

I'm on my fourth year of piano, fifth year of sax/bari sax/tenor sax, and my second year working on electronic music. I don't have the best programs for electronic but all well.

Oh, and I also DJ at some parties around my area.

anthonyzonda2002 · 06-10-2003, 08:04 PM

Wow am i the only one that plays the guitar? Lol its acoustic but hey its still beautiful...

**SpookG** · 06-10-2003, 10:16 PM

dude, i said i did, but time to brag

I have my 1982 musicman stringray bass in a sweet sunburst. His name is Rufius. Then I have a custom jazz bass with EMG pick ups and a gotoh bridge with a P bass neck. That's Phil. Then there's Noto, which is a 30 year old P bass from japan made by a company called Tokai, which wanted to rival fender but went under. I blew the electronics on it long ago and had to rewire it, so there's volume but no tone. Hence, NoTo. Get it?

And and...there's Michelle, my acoustic Martin DM. There's also the Kingston, which is just an kingston acoustic, like 30 years old too. It has nice bass pick up, Michelle is rather bright but full in tone. And uh.. there's shithead, which is a kramer electric with rose locks.. And then there is Wolfe, which is an 1974 american stratocaster.

Har... This is why I am broke. I buy expensive guitars.

Did you write Michelle's Song about your Guitar? Wait...nevermind...Michelle must be a special person then...

**87x** · 06-11-2003, 08:07 AM

yea.. nothin compared to my.. 1987 off brand keyboard... thats thing is cool... its missing a battery cover, and one of the button sometimes sticks... but still cool...

**l Endorphin l** · 05-29-2007, 11:59 AM

Guitar for 7 years, Piano for 9 years, Drums for 2 years, Mandolin for 3 years, Bass for 1 year.
Going to UNT next year for a masters in Jazz.
So yes, I will hopefully be a musician.

**roundbox** · 05-29-2007, 12:07 PM

This thread is nearly 4 years old

And I'm pretty sure they've found enough musicians.

purebloodtexan · 05-29-2007, 12:21 PM

In band, I play the Baritone. As far as other music goes, I primarily write it as a hobby, but I'm trying to get some material to my high school band.

edit: Well, someone bumped the thread. I knew something was up when I saw Arch0wl's name.

justom · 05-29-2007, 12:25 PM

I've been playing piano for 6 years.

**harrythecabledude** · 05-29-2007, 12:28 PM

OK, how many people are gonna start necro-ing these four year old threads until the admins start banning those people?

Oh, and I've played the Bass in orchestra for 6 years now, as well as Bass Guitar, Normal Guitar, and vocal on the side.

Otaku_Raver · 05-29-2007, 01:45 PM

OMG!!! I used to play that. Then everyone hated me for being in the 8th grade only concert because I was in 5th grade and still better than most of them.

**Windscarredfaith** · 05-29-2007, 01:56 PM

Since people are discussing this...

Piano for 14 years and guitar for five years.

I dunno about that first statement, but I play violin which is a very difficult instrument to play at my level (an advanced high school player..), but it seems to help that I've played that and piano before.

**insanefreddy926** · 05-29-2007, 02:02 PM

super kid · 05-29-2007, 02:04 PM
