Digital Man Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hey, I can play the Radio!! (stole that line from GG) Seriously, I have been wanting to take up an instrument. I'm thinking of the drums, but I don't think my neighbors would appreciate it. I just want to learn to play something.

What's the easiest instrument to learn/teach yourself: Guitar Bass Piano Drums Any help would be appreciated I would pick up a guitar - you can get starter kits with video, etc for about $150 with an amp and electric guitar (not high quality but good to start). Someone like 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 would be a great person to ask. He is a guitar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Go on Ebay or Musician's Friend, get yourself a practice pad (I recommend one made by Real Feel), some sticks, and a copy of 'Drums For Dummies' (everything you need to know written in plain English). Futz around with it for a few months and see where it takes you. That way if you decide that drums aren't for you, you're only out (if you're careful) for less than a hundred bucks. Here's an Ebay link for a pad that's going for $47.99 Ebay Here's a copy of 'Drums For Dummies' for only $16.51 (including shipping) That's a good deal.

I pound my skin, too, but don't brag about it. Geeez! (Ok Ok Ok Ok, I'll leave you real musicians alone. I'm just jealous 'cause I washed out in my only attempt to learn music, my couple months of piano lessons.) Ok, I can play a DVD player. Does that count?

Moonraker Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Bass guitar for the last 4 years. I know most Rush songs (well the ones that actually have bass at least). I know quite a few Iron Maiden songs, and a few scattered other songs by other artists as well. I tend to play around a lot on my own without any other music just to see what I can make. My only problem is I dont know anyone here who I can play with Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
