Thanks for the pointers~

go to an estate sale to buy one, you can get things like pianos for cheap.

Aren't they most likely crappy though?

Are they like the good ones good people play on though?

Funnily enough this thankyou post was my 100th.

Thanks.:)

Oh your welcome just trying to be nice dont want to seem to be a beach

yea, they are the good ones. Estate sales are often people who have lived waaaaaay to extravagantly and can't afford it, so their stuff gets repossed and sold. Or old people who have died with out heirs (that's when crappiness could be an issue).

Buy a shite keyboard before you buy a shite piano.



I play a lot of things but nothing above a grade 4 level so, eh.

Well I just really want one of those big ones there fun to play with and good for anything practiclly

swim has practical advice though, you might want to take it.

rhythum guitar

ive been playing bass for about a year and a half now and just started teaching my self electric guitar a couple of months ago
not gettin to far but i can play bits from a few avenged and muse songs, its jus tryin to find the time i guess

i play the guitar

white fender strat with walnut neck and marshall amp ( guitar )

Anyone who doesn't know what a Fender Strat is shouldn't be posting in this thread, so you don't really need to clarify.

not true, what if they're er....a trumpeter or something...nah, **** your right. :(

i play drums

I've started learning keyboard in the past month...i'm alright at it lk. :)

im attempting to learn violin
just bought one

don't use the Suzuki method.
Any new person playing in my school's orchestra who learned Suzuki method is terrible.
It doesn't teach the fundamentals that are really needed to play the instrument.

Bass

Bass-4 years
Guitar-1 year

Even though im a girl I play the drums and the guitar.I also play the violin

Female Drummers ROCK! :band:

I try to play bass once in awhile. I've never been that great at it. :band:

Thanks and bass isnt that hard but im not fond of it.

Sorry, I love it! My favorite musicians are Les Claypool, DD Verni, Jason Newstead, Cliff Burton (Moment of silence please...), Duffy McKagan, Sean Yseult (White Zombie) and Geddy Lee.

I have a 1995 Ibanez EX series 4 string Fretless. Not the most expensive bass out there, but it sounds great!

Have you ever thought about joining a band?

I've had a couple of garage bands over the years. Nothing ever more than having fun. Like I said, I'm not that good. Just have fun with it.

Playing bass isn't hard at all. Being good at it is a whole different deal.

that's always good, i used to take piano lessons, but then i quit (same thing that happened w/the classical guitar) so now i have a guitar and keyboard virtually collecting dust in my house. I fiddle around with those from time to time, but i mostly play the flute, oboe, and baritone sax.

I'm a vocalist, I like doing the whole soft singing over heavy riffs thing. But I'm defo not one of those girls that can scream good :(
I also play guitar, I'm pretty good at finger picking but not so great at awesome solos (my husband is amazing on the guitar, another Zakk in the making!)
Between us we've got:
Ibanez - RG series (my baby!)
Stagg Flying V
Vintage SG
2 Fender Squier Strats
Merlin Xplorer

We also have a cruddy bass and a nice acoustic. Next we really want an American Strat and a Dean Razorback. :yeah:
I can also play keyboard a bit, but I haven't done that for a while...

Drums, guitar, bass and piano but I'd say I need more work on the piano lol.

Bass nearly a year. And I sing

I've finally invested in a keyboard, :) i know all the basic theory behind it already but i am going to have to get used to actually playing it...should be fun.

i play guitar, drums , bass, vocals...all that stuff...looking for people in Long beach ,CA right now, if anyone happens to be in the area.

good luck, lol i practice sometimes in the msuic shop

cheers man, it's ****ing annoying to try and get around. It's like i know where everything is but i cant do it, it'd be like me trying to play guitar if someone chopped off all my fingers.

I play the guitar but i suck with tempo.

I can play let it be by john lennon and imagine (woo!)

The piano is not annoying! It's the most amazing instrument ever. EVER. You can SEE where all of the different pitches are. You can SEE THEM. The high notes on your right, the low notes on your left. If you want to go higher you go to the right, if you want to make a low noise you go to the left. When you want it to be quiet you touch it gently, when you want to be loud you hit it hard. There is nothing difficult about the piano! Well, apart from 'Liszt' and 'Rachmaninov'.

But here's a tip. Don't learn any contemporary piano. Learn jazz and classical because it's much better. The piano in modern music is comparitively bland... made for the compressed recording generation.
