any musicians out there

[seymoregutz]

hello everyone! are there any musicians out there? what do you play? i play the bass....kind of a novice..my second hobbie other that games. i play in a band, although we've only played out a couple of times. i like all types of music...except rap....sorry. i have an epiphone les paul and a fender squire bass that are my favorites.

Okay, you asked for it.

I can play the piano, organ, saxophone (alto, tenor and baritone), sitar, drums, kazoo (liekz EVRY1 xD), violin, banjo, oboe, melodica, accordian, guitar, ukulele (LULZ), sitar, the ruler (yup, it's possible - just put it on the edge of a table or something, pluck it, and move it side to side to change pitch) and the harmonica. I started with the piano back when I was 4, but I discovered I had perfect pitch at about 7 years old, and I didn't want to waste it ALL on the piano so I learnt all those other instruments.

I want to learn to read music >_<

My main instrument is the guitar. Mainly 80-90 metal influence and some new stuff but nothing you would here on a radio. Been playing for 20 years..
my toy.

i play the bass....kind of a novice

- I got my brother started on bass, today he is one of the most amazing bassist I know. When he started I said this to him. "dont use a pick, learn with out one" That little tid-bit made him excel in many ways. He does not shun a pick, but starting to learn without one created a path to learn a variety of playing styles. Dont limit yourself, start open handed

wow, that's a pretty wide array there, monkey man. although it is said that if you have a good understanding of music theory....you can play just about anything. i just settle on the bass...i did fiddle with the guitar for a while, but i found some of the form and chords near impossible....thick finger syndrom. started out early in life with an intrest in the drums, but being a country hick from the styx....just couldn't get it together. what's your favorite music? rock, blues, and folk are my main favorites.

that's a nice rig you have there, ulaoulao. i've got an old fender 15b amp in my cellar, the speaker is shot, so made up a cab of my own that has two 15" subs in it...i use the amp as a head. I also have a trace elliot boxer 30 upstairs near my computer. i hear a song...download it and a useful set of tabs for it and play around with it. I play both ways, although i drather not use a pick...i think it's a better bass sound. i primarily play the bass, but i do have a guitar...not an expensive one..but good enough to play with...i have kinda thick fingers..3 and 4 note forms are the best i can get on it.

Yep save up for that one, Eddies original 5150, one of the best metal amps.
Two 15's is going to give you a lot of bottom but no bright, suggest one 15, with two 8's above. But hey to each there own, keep playing it...

[seymoregutz]

yea, it does tend to rattle things upstairs when played at higher volume. my son bought those speakers for a deck in his car a few years ago. we had already made a sub deck for another car he owned. they were still new in the box when i asked him what he was going to do with them. actually, i should get a replacement speaker for the amp. i've got the specs for it. it's only a 36 watt amp

I used to play the Tuba and Baritone in middle school.

I used to play the Trumpet, was very damn good too, but I stopped due to some troubling headaches I used to get.

Now I've forgotten everything I learned

I can play the recorder with my nose.
