someone who i used to talk to about music a lot on the bus ride to and from school once asked me if i played any instruments. i said no (this was before i started noodling on guitar). she said it was strange for someone to be so into music and not actually play an instrument. so, you boreders who don't play anything, and are super into music (you do, after all, post on a board for ueber-fans)...why not?

Cause I suck.

I've played the clarinet, acoustic guitar, & piano...

I wasn't awful at the piano, but I wasn't any good.

I noodle around with my keyboard occasionally, but not really...

One's appreciation of music does not give one any musical talent...that was a stupid comment (on her part)

I could never find an instrument I could pick up well enough to feel like I was even playing anything at all.

 

I took up violin at a young age, hated it, and finally was allowed to quit. In the long run, I wish I hadn't, because now that I'm older, I have a great appreciation for string instruments, and would like nothing better than to take it up again. But unfortunately, violins are very expensive :angry:

 

I'd also love to take up an erhu, but where the fuck am I going to find an erhu and someone to teach me how to play it >.<

 

I have an acoustic guitar at home, but I have ridiculously tiny fingers, and it's just not working out ;)

 

Guitarfreaks/Guitar Heroes, Drum Mania...very satisfying for all those who aren't really good at instruments :angry: Makes you feel hardcore everytime :angry:

No what I mean is that you need a minimum of talent to play an instrument...I'm not necessarily talking about becoming Jimmy Hendrix ;)

C'mon, everybody knows that anyone can play guitar. If Radiohead said it, it must be true, no? :angry:

never played an instrument before i started fooling on my sister's guitar a year ago.

 

I think the reason many people don't play something is because its very hard to learn to play an instrument well. Most people get frustrated & lose interest.

never played an instrument... my parents never thought that was 'an interesting' activity outside class...

 

i regret not having been able to learn how to play the piano...

The best way to learn bass is a combination of lessons, and getting a feel for the sound that other players generate. Michael Anthony of Van Halen is pretty much the sound I learned from.

You can actually order beginner bass kits almost anywhere, for around $120. They come with a bass and a preamp.

 

http://www.musiciansfriend.com is a pretty good site. I've bought from them a number of times, as far as small things. I got my Goddaughter's christmas presents a few years ago from them. A drumset and an electric guitar package...combined it was like $300 w/free shipping.

There are no "beginner piano kits"? ;)
