RC-1162 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Hey, alll you musicians out there, i just wondered which instrument you played. i play the piano and know a little bit of drums. what about you?
MdKnightR Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I used to play guitar, but my primary instrument was electric bass guitar. I am so rusty now that my fingers are corroded
stingerhs Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 vocals!!! i seriously wonder why a lot of people don't like to classify vocals as an instrument. a lot of great music just wouldn't exist without them.
RC-1162 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 mostly because vocals are built-in "instruments" we're talking about things which we learn to play. still if you feel inclined to do so, go ahead and add vocals to the list.
MdKnightR Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 vocals!!! i seriously wonder why a lot of people don't like to classify vocals as an instrument. a lot of great music just wouldn't exist without them. Vocals should be on the list, but there are some forms of "music" that don't utilize "singing," such as rap and punk. Heck, rap can be made without any traditional instruments.....drum machines, scratching records on a turntable, and hyperventilating overweight young men (the Fat Boys hehehe).
RC-1162 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 rap and punk? yeah. theyre mostly speaking the words in a tune very fast. but i like rap. specially Eminem and D12
Bob Lion54 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I sing in the shower and while I'm driving. Does that count?
RC-1162 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 yep, as vocals. *turns around and starts to snicker* sorry, no offense!
RC-1162 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 do you play both the versions? or only the classic?
El Sitherino Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Vocals, Saxaphone, Guitar, Drum. Mostly vocals though.
Snafu7 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I used to play guitar and tenor sax, but I haven't played in a long time.
The Doctor Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 TROMBONE IS THE BEST! BRASS KICKS WOODWIND TUNING SLIDES! PERCUSSIAN IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T READ MUSIC!
Fuu Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 vocals!!! i seriously wonder why a lot of people don't like to classify vocals as an instrument. a lot of great music just wouldn't exist without them. Yeah! All of the musical instraments were originially created to do one thing: duplicate the human vocal range. I like to sing, and my vocal range is high Alto. I also play the Alto Sax. I was thinking about picking up the flute, since the fingering is the same. Learning to play music makes you better at math....wheeeee. ON a side note: How many of you read music? I've noticed many people who play an inst. dont read music. I'm getting pretty rusty at sight reading. Fuu

RaV™ Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I play the keyboard, I'm not too crazy about a piano..too classic..
Fuu Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 If you learn piano you can learn alot of other instraments easier...... piano is a great first instrament....effective at teaching how to read music.... That is if you didnt learn by yourself without books or a teacher.............. Fuu
RC-1162 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 I'm getting pretty rusty at sight reading. yeah, me too. i hate SR. though, isnt it the violin that makes it easy to play all inst.? i read somewhere that if you master the violin, you master all other instruments as well. true/false?
The Doctor Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 ^ Sorry, I think that's bull @#$%, but... ^ and ya, sight reading is a pain in the @$$.
RC-1162 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 a TOTAL pain in the ***. i almost failed in sightreading in my grade 2 exam. in sightreading individually, i passed the overall exam with merit. well, we all know what choice Darth333 would take.
Darth333 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 ON a side note: How many of you read music? I've noticed many people who play an inst. dont read music. I'm getting pretty rusty at sight reading. I do read music. I have a music degree in piano and I have also been teaching piano & music theory while I was a student. I also learned clarinet but never really invested much time in it.
MdKnightR Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 ON a side note: How many of you read music? I've noticed many people who play an inst. dont read music. I'm getting pretty rusty at sight reading. Fuu I am very rusty playing, so I imagine that music transcription would probably look like a foreign language to me now. I did take electric and upright bass lessons from a music professor while I was in college, but that is the last time I did any sight reading.
ChAiNz.2da Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 herrmm... Guitar - Electric / Classic (Acoustic) / Spanish Classic, Bass, Drums, Piano (limited)... I read & write music, tablature is the tool of the Devil hehehe... (though convenient)... for those who want to get "serious" in the music business, learn to read & write music... trust me... and vocals do count as an instrument IMO. I've known vocalists and admire what they can do. I've tried, and needless to say the dogs in the neighborhood agree with me when I say I can't do it .. hehehe I've been "submerged" in music my whole life from both sides of the family, and have been playing since I was 9 years old.. do the math and that's 23 years
Bob Lion54 Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 ....and vocals do count as an instrument IMO. I've known vocalists and admire what they can do..... Agreed! One name: Russell Watson (if anyone has heard of him) By the way, does this mean that my singing in the shower makes me a musician? hehe
