Ludwigia Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 When I was younger I used to make a living playing guitar and now I've even learned to play a second instrument and blow into it sometimes when I'm on stage.

Ridgehiker Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) I've played guitar for a million years...since I was a young teen. Acoustic and electric. In rock bands on and off. However, I'm not a natural talent so I'd rate myself about a 7 out of 10. With all the thousands of hours I've played, others would be a 'Guitar God' by now. I also collect guitars...mostly Fenders. Here's a photo of some of 'the girls'. They are in the 'Fossil Museum' during the cold months and put in the music/sun room in Spring. Never know which one I'll play until I sit down...maybe Spanish on a nylon string or some hard driving rock on a Stratocaster. Edited...in response to Ludwigia's post. I got my first guitar in Germany in 1969...a Framus brand. Didn't know how to play...couldn't read German ...so would listen to the rock station, Radio Luxembourg, and just try to copy what I heard. My parents must have suffered. A couple years later a friend and I hopped on a train to Paris where I bought a second hand Stratocaster. Took all the money I earned working a summer job. If you had a guitar, you could be in a band...even though I could only play 3 chords. Edited April 16, 2016 by Ridgehiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeDragon Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I play a few. Bass, guitar, piano/keyboard, cello, recorder, bamboo flute, pan pipes/flute sort of, trumpet, cornet which is like a short trumpet, tenor horn... I think I'm missing one. Voice, I guess, if you count that? Nothing like an expert at them all, of course. I'm most advanced with bass (and voice?), probably with trumpet/cornet in second.

Voice, I guess, if you count that? Nothing like an expert at them all, of course. I'm most advanced with bass (and voice?), probably with trumpet/cornet in second.I'm a one instrument musician. However, I always admire those with the natural talent to pick up another instrument and play it with a minimal of lessons. If I was to advise anyone starting out it would be to add keyboard to whatever instrument they take up. Much easier to get down the basics of music theory, songwriting, etc. I just 'winged it' for years clueless about scales, keys, etc. When I eventually taught myself music theory it was like a fossil hunter learning the geologic time scale, taxonomy, etc...suddenly 'it all made sense'.

Ridgehiker Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 3 chords... the soul of punk. Bang on. The Ramones. 'Blitzkrieg Bop'. No song would get our band and the crowd more insane than 3 simple chords played sloppy with a ton of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Here is a portion of the bell engraving of my 1932 Conn "Transitional" Tenor Saxophone. It is in silver plate. These old Conn horns sound like no other. This is a much finer horn than my meager ability deserves, but I am very pleased to have it.

Taogan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I play a few, tuba, violin, flute, and about a dozen others. I used to make a very poor living at it before making a very poor living as a teacher. I still play to annoy people so I now do early music, mostly on medieval bagpipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Bang on. The Ramones. 'Blitzkrieg Bop'. No song would get our band and the crowd more insane than 3 simple chords played sloppy with a ton of energy. And tomorrow (April 19) is the 50th anniversary of the release of The Trogs' Wild Thing. I see the germination of Punk in that song...though a case can also be made for Them's Gloria, released two years earlier. (Says the erstwhile strummer who played mostly John Denver...)

Good pick, but I think that "honor" (birth of Punk) should go to the Kingsmen's 1963 cover of the tune, Louie Louie.

I knew we could tie this into fossils. Wild Thing...same 3 power chords as Blitzkrieg Bop. A,D,E. First rock song many of us learned. Many of those early hits like Louie, Louie were popular because they were easy for a misfit teen band like ours to learn. We cold learn 'Monster Mash' in an afternoon as it had the same chord sequence as 10 other songs...just change the rhythm. We humanes didn't need an opposable thumb but a couple extra digits. 'How can I hold down all six strings when I only have five fingers. It's impossible!'...somehow we learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I dabble at guitar and piano, with an occasional bit of harmonica thrown in when goofing around with Squeal Young or Bob Dylan songs. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pocock Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Love big band music especially Glen Miller, so had a go at playing the trombone, played for 3 years and got to level 4 but then was told by my teacher that I would be better off with a bucket to carry tunes in, so gave up after that, My wife plays the piano and I love to just sit and listen.

Ridgehiker Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Stompin' Tom Connors used a board. But you have to be Canadian to know who that is. Ha! I belong to an acoustic jam group. It's essential that we play one Stomping Tom song...usually 'Bud the Spud'. Then a Gordon Lightfoot and, because it's Alberta, Ian Tyson 'Four StrongWinds'. On the electric guitar my favourites are surf tunes...Ventures, Safaris, etc. However, not to play live as one wrong note from 'Hawaii Five 0' or 'Pipeline' and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Too much need to practice over and over..not my thing. The great thing about blues,and rock is it can be sloppy in a creative way. The same with classical...often I have no clue but can fake it.
