Starting an instrument...
 

Hi everyone. Im currently looking to start an instrument over the summer! I've always been a singer, and would like to start an instrument to accomeny vocals.

I was thinking either piano, or guitar (i have a little expirience in piano)

Does anyone have any tips/ or opinion on which i should choose?

What kind of music do you make? What are you into?

I think you should learn piano..ive heard once you've learned to play Piano you can pick up a lot quicker with other instruments.

Get something unconventional. The whole singer/guitarist, singer/pianist thing is too much of a sthick.

Get a Hurdy Gurdy. :D

agreed

Piano's hardcore as well.

It's all about theory to, which will help you with all other instruments.

i think you should start learning Guitar Hero..the only instrument you need is that little plastic guitar.

Guitar Hero II rules.

My favorite songs to play are War Pigs, YYZ and Carry On Wayward Son.

Can't you hear me knockin' :)

I used to think this. Don't play games. Music is mobile, play something that is too. Trumpet, Guitar, Violin, Harmonica, Saxophone, Drums, whatever. Piano was great and I took lessons for about 6 years when it was all said and done, but I could never show up places and play. I couldn't plug in my keyboard on someones front porch and have fun. It was cool, and I understand the theory books fine, but music was never really about theory books.


Get something mobile. Best advice I could give. Just because 8 guys play guitar on your street, doesn't mean that you're useless.

Did someone change it to "singer/bassist". I swore I wrote singer/pianist.

i think you should start whatever musical instrument you see as being the most interesting. because with learning an instrument you must be horribly patient, and if you arnt playing the one you want to play the most... it is a lot easier to give up.

What I've learn is simple, for some people (like me) the learning process is more difficult, this is why I could never really master guitar. And thats way I took up bass, its just a much easier, more comfortable instrument for me.

Bass is guitar for the talentless. :D

Don't fret fellow bassists, I'm only joking.

really!?!? how does that work???
I mean I been playing the guitar and it took a hell of long time to learn the piano
lol

hah yeah that why I am quitting 15 year of guitar and going to som unknow country and find a ancient intromunet * like those chinse one and learn how play it!) I ;ll die if I have to learn it! lol
