FrankBlunt Posted August 13, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I've been known to buzz a tuba, pluck a guitar, and strum a drum. Please, no tuba innuendo. Thanks, Band Geek Extraordinaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankBlunt Posted August 13, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Strum a drum? WTF? Okay, strike. It was two years in grade school that I played drums, so please feel free to file civil litigation for poor use of jargon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankBlunt Posted August 14, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Haha, I see....you're forgiven My personal favorite among layman descriptions was by Richard Cheese, the king of lounge parody. "...The guy who hits the thing with the thingies." If you haven't yet, you should hear his version of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. If you can believe it, he's accompanied by a xylophone.

Drego Posted August 14, 2006 Author #18 Share Posted August 14, 2006 skins? Ah, congas? bongos? djembe? lol btw, Had my first day at band camp today, (baritone) and got a look at the sets (marching positions - for you non-band nerds). Now I know I'm going to be in hell for the next two weeks. We have 14 days to learn 74 sets, so on average, we should learn 7-8 a day. We got 3 down.

OlDrippy34 Posted August 14, 2006 #19 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Guitar is almost the ulimate instrument. That title, however, belongs to the Keytar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyknow Posted August 15, 2006 #20 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Guitar is almost the ulimate instrument. That title, however, belongs to the Keytar. These days, i think that the electric guitar is slightly overrated... The problem with the majority of lead guitarists is they let their ego get in the way of the music... Classical guitarists are more melodic etc. but they don't have their crotches pressed up to the front of the stage. Sure, the electric guitar can produce some nice riffs and melodies but without the bass and drums to back it up, you find that it is overrated... My main instrument of choice is the bass... I picked up a beautiful Ibanez SRX for around 500 euros and started from there... The main problem is working up the callouses... but you can sure produce some beautiful melodies with it... I have the utmost respect for anyone who plays an instrument though... BTW Drippy... you're right about the keytar man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matches Posted August 15, 2006 #24 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I do vocals that have been called close to the styles of Amy Lee or sometimes Tarja. I am also the all-purpose whatever-Hvitar-wants-me-to-for-the-song girl of Surrealist Unreal, teehee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some modern guitarists are lame doesn't take away from the fact that some of the greatest musicians ever(Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan) and greatest bands ever were all driven by electric guitar. Other instruments backing it up are great, but unnecessary if the guy really knows what he's doing. I'm sorry I can't type right now. Or think right now.
