He's made hundreds of videos "giving everything he's learned". So I did kinda have a teacher. I ain't too shabby, but it's always an uphill battle! I've "mastered" one jig so far. What I need to work on is reading notes and tempo stuff, unless I can find a recording of it!(06-18-2013, 02:55 PM)BadlandsJohn Wrote:(06-18-2013, 02:49 PM)Cosette Wrote: I would probably be classified as a serious musician.

The only other instrument (aside from guitar) I've played to any extent was an alto sax. I am totally not a serious musician, but I want to be, not professionally, but just able to jam either side of the spectrum (rock --- folk/ballads/whatnot). I got me a couple books of sheet music of various genres, as well as printed out more. This should make everything a whole lot easier! Click lessons tab at top. You can even get their phone app to practice music theory where ever you are waiting around at. http://www.musictheory.net/ |

I play Guitar and mandolin. Much more mandolin than guitar lately, but I've been getting back into the blues lately, and it's encouraging me to start learning slide guitar.
I've also done some experimenting with a washtub bass. I'm going to have to build another one sometime soon. No Gods and Precious Few Heroes |

I taught myself acoustic guitar, which basically means i hit a hurdle probably not jumpable without professional instruction.
Oh, and I play a mean slide-whistle. No joke |

That video is amazing! I've gotta add his pieces to my (way too long list of files and files and files and...etc) music list! I would never discount that man's advice lol.
Keep me updated badlandsjohn! and let me know if that music theory site helps you out in your progress in the next couple weeks!! I really am interested how you get along. It's not everywhere you get to hear the harmonica. |

As a kid I wanted to play music so terribly bad. But I was rather impoverished and so I didn't finally get to start really playing until my Jr. High years when I could borrow school instruments.
Saxophone is my one true passion. But since then I've picked up a collection of new and fun instruments. From piano to drums to guitar and bass. I always love picking up something new and fiddling with it. I got into the music recording side when I was in high school and in college, but haven't really pursued a musical career. I love all kinds of music so I doubt I could settle on playing a specific style only. So I dabble and record songs that I'm motivated to make, from instrumental rock, to smooth jazz fusion. It's all good to me. Music is my biggest passion in life. (Edit: For those curious, I do have a few pieces of my work on the intertubes. Here's my soundcloud profile. https://soundcloud.com/theshawnzy ) [sub]

I recently bought a pan flute and have been messing around with it some. I do some circle drumming as well.

I play guitar a little, mostly acoustic. I've always liked music and I wish I was good enough to play professionally, but I'm really not, so it's just a hobby. Instead I went off and became an A/V tech and a DJ.
