Posted February 6, 2008 I play guitar (badly), tin whistle (badly) and used to play trumpet (badly). I lack talent in everything I lay my hands on, but I figure if I can play lots of instuments badly I might be able to fool some people into thinking I'm an average musician. Also for some reason I told my girlfriend I'd write her a song for valentines day. I am now kicking myself as I try (and fail) to use my limited creative talent to create something that doesn't sound like cheesy bollocks. I'm considering making some form of basic backing track in a Psycho Killer-esque way. Why couldn't I have kept my mouth shut and just bought chocolates.

Posted February 6, 2008 I used to play French Horn in school. Kinda got roped in to it, i wanted to play Saxophone... Was a pretty decent keyboard player back then too, but i stopped playing and now i can't remember any tunes Think a set of drums are gonna be next on my purchase list. Probably electric because they take up less space and i can play them with headphones on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 8, 2008 Our walkabout bassist finally came to the practice, so we can now set about adding some dirty, pulsing PiL rip-off basslines to our growing catalog of No Wave rip offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2008 Just learning how to play the Acoustic at the moment, and slowly changing chords (i started like a week or 2 ago =P) My dad has a 12 string but for obvious reasons im not going near that. Is it hard to switch from acoustic to electric? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it hard to switch from acoustic to electric? No, it's easy, your playing doesn't need to be as clean. Thinner neck often makes it easier to play. By the way, is that Noel Fielding in you avatar, I can't quite tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why yes it is, I'm trying to learn Bar chords at the moment, but my dad knows none of them, could anyone give me a link or something to teach/help me? I so far have this: http://www.guitarchordsmagic.com/basic-guitar-chords/guitar-bar-chords.html but it's pretty text heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
