What Intruments you play

[bates]

@ Dullonien: thnx for the kind words, I reckon i'm just a musician altho I prefer sound engineer
@ Fa'atau82: Your songs sound pretty good, I like it.


A few days ago, there was a docu about Skream ( the Don of Dubstep) and Goldie ( Metalheadz label owner, DnB dj, producer, actor) you can find the video here Besides the many F... words, drinking they actually have a nice discussion about music in general. Conclussion you don't need a classical music education to make music ( like me ) and become succesfull ( still in progress )


To anwser your comment Lekso, as I can't read music, altho I'm going to study it next week ( found an awesome site for that) making electronic music is easier in one way as you're not limited in the sound/ possibilities of 1 instrument and that I actually see what I'm doing on my screen and also hear what the outcome is.

Sharing my opnion about music in general I would say that I prefer electronic music ( not the commercial shizzles) as I'm fascinated by sound in general.
In the more commercial music it's more about the voice/band/hype around it. Where in the less or non- Commercial music it's all about the music it self.

E.g: In Antwerp we have 2 AC/DC concerts, they were sold out in les then 2 hours ( like Laetca told us) well their last album wasn't taht good, people just go for the group and the atmosphere which is awesome, I'm into all music but if I have to chose I would go for the gig of a band of who I never heard before and have the opportunity to discover something new.

been playing guitar for about 15 years - about 6 years in a band back in France - and picked up drums when i moved to NZ 3 years ago. Am in a band at the moment, playing drums and writing some guitar bits here and there: you can check out a video here: Band Practice

and bought same guitar as this one for my 30th: 2006 Gibson Les Paul DC Pro, exact same guitar just the pick up being double P90s

Ooh, nice guitar!
How much did that one set you back?

 

[Fa'atau82]

Enquelaz, do you like Metallica by any chance?

At the moment I play tenor guitar, bass and bowed psaltary in a folk band. In the past i have played drums and bass in rock bands.

My favourite instruments - my black precision bass and the bowed psaltary.

Beautiful guitar! Just like an old semi-hollow ES-335 except with a solid body, looks better with the double cut-away I reckon. That's why I like the look of say, an SG compared to the standard Les Paul...

 

[Enguelaz]

@RC: Bought it off ebay Australia, delivered to NZ all up for NZ$2,000 (about a 1,000 Euros) - was my 30's b-day present

@Fa'Atau: yeah, early albums of Metallica, but i am more into Punk and Alt.Metal

@Cullen: Completely agree, I use to have a SG but also loved the Les Paul, but everytime i played a Les Paul they felt heavy, awkward and sure there was that always warm and full sound to it, but laced a little definition to me. The SG's got great preciseness but lacks the fullness of a Les Paul. So when i saw that guitar about 10 years ago in a shop in Paris, i was intrigued, tried it on the spot, and damn! that was a revelation! So when i was looking for a guitar off ebay and saw this exact same guitar i had tried 10 years ago, man, couldn't resist!

Sweeeeeeet!


Ok, so i thought i would make an update on my latest "what instrument do you play?" posts.
Just today i bought myelf a harmonica.
I was just walking about minding my own business, looking and yearning over guitars that i couldn' possible afford when i saw a range of hormonicas all sitting in a glass cabinet.
There were a couple there for about £150, "Extortion!" i thought to myself, and that was when i glanced over to my left and saw a delicate little piece...a diatonic harmonica i believe it's known as and priced at a mere £5.95!
I couldn't turn it down. I chose a harmonica in a C chord, but was told that if i want to play it with my guitar in the future i may want to buy one in an A key.
I've no idea about any of this jazz so i'm gonna do my research.
Till then, i'm scouring websites looking for the best pieces of advice that i can find for utter ground level beginners trying to play the harmonica and bugging my flat mate just figuring out the notes and trying to play basic 4 chord songs that are a breeze on the guitar!
Lol.

I'm mainly a Bass player and to be fair i'm brilliant at it.

Love playing all the James Brown stuff. Bootsy Collins, John Paul Jones and John Entwistle are probably my biggest influences.

I also turn my hand to six string, keys and mandolin.

Getting a Banjo for christmas.

I didn't see one 'ukelele in Samoa, despite the fact that it's a polynesian instrument.

never played an instrument, even managed to get out of playing the recorder in primary school somehow.
not really had any inclination to play, like i love listening to all kinds of music, but i dont want to play it.

my brother on the other hand, teaches kids piano in his spare time, plays the trombone to grade 8 and also plays the organ at our church.

turns out he got the musical talent and i got the sporting talent from our family
