I would like to learn to play the sitar because it would be a good excuse to buy a sitar.

Not just a good excuse but the best excuse.

Riberry 01-08-2018 10:18 PM

of course violin. This one is my first proority.

Dhwani 01-17-2018 11:11 PM

I think drums.

jszclar 02-08-2018 09:32 PM

1. Saxophone
2. Trumpet
3. Cello

SmokeAndMirrors 02-14-2018 07:23 PM

Probably guitar next. For fundamental purposes of songwriting. I think it'll help me learn chord structures better. I can do a little guitar work, just not enough to say that I play guitar, at least not by my own standards. Same as with piano/keys.

uncle salty 02-15-2018 12:14 PM

I've always though the harmonica was pretty cool.

I've tried, but I just don't have the lungs for it. Gassed in less than a minute.

maxwell93 03-11-2021 12:58 PM

1. Bagpipes
2. Clarinet
3. Sitar
4. Tabla
5. Voice

(already playing the piano and some Cuban drums)

Meticus 03-16-2021 01:36 AM

I'm already trying to learn the bagpipes and a little guitar and flute stuff.

If I had the time and talent I would also learn crwth and talharpa. But I guess I'm too old to start something new :laughing:

adidasss 03-16-2021 02:59 AM

Yeah I wonder when someone is too old to start learning an instrument.

I would love to learn how to play a piano, then the guitar and drums. I think the latter would be the most difficult, just airdrumming different things with 4 limbs proves quite difficult. Not sure if that's something you can learn?

Same here. A little old to be able to master anything really but...

Piano. My grandpop was a wizard on keys, apparently. He died before I was born so I never got the chance to hear him. But it comes rather easily to me - just never felt challenged or intrigued enough to really learn.

adidasss 03-16-2021 09:50 PM

Yeah, to be honest, the whole 9-6 job thing is really putting a dent on my hobby ambitions. I'd also like to learn/improve on various foreign languages (Spanish, Portugues, Italian and French ideally). But I also have a lot of books on my to-read list, I still haven't seen all interesting movies ever made (although that one at least is within my reach), there's loads of classic music I haven't gotten around to properly listening to (working from home during the pandemic helps) etc. If I go to the gym 5-6 times per week, AND HAVE TO COOK AND FEED MYSELF, it seems there's not enough time in the day to do everything!

I don't know how you managed to get that encyclopedic knowledge in films and classical music while holding down a job, something must have suffered. :/

ando here 03-16-2021 10:57 PM

:) Never enough hours in the day is there? I think it’s a blessing to feel that way. Though, to be honest, the older I get the more I relish doing absolutely nothing.

Wizzlito 04-17-2021 08:23 AM

I'd like to improve my drum sequencing with Reaper. I have a long way to go since my rhythm skills (timing and snare drum rudiments) are terrible as well as my drum sequencing skills. I just gotta get on that horse and start riding it.

jamescheng 05-08-2021 01:03 PM

1. piano
2. guitar
3. drum
4. violin

Mucha na Dziko 05-09-2021 02:02 AM

The Sitar

I've had one of those for a couple of years now, but where I live t's extremely hard (impossible really) to find a teacher/guru, and learning it by myself isn't easy either.

I can play some stuff, or add a sitar part to a song I'm working on, but I wouldn't really call my sitar skills anything near "knowing how to play it"

Poiuy 05-09-2021 02:34 AM

Sitar, drums, tabla, bass guitar

Mucha na Dziko 08-08-2021 12:21 PM

I just bought a harmonica.

Any tips on learning to play it?

I'm trying to learn bending, but I kinda feel it's not the place to start

bleedmuzic 08-27-2021 03:07 AM

I love guiter. I am a gitarist. all the day i either listening music or or playing guiter or make some music peice.

Anatolie 09-01-2021 08:30 AM

I would really love to learn how to play an electric guitar. I would also love to how to play a Cristal Baschet(i how its a rare one but yes i love it)

TheBig3 09-01-2021 08:43 AM

Trumpet. Easily my favorite instrument to listen to. Bad songs are made better by including it.

I'm trying to get a trumpet for a couple of years now – I never have the money.
I played it three times so far, and loved every second of it.
Though I'm thinking whether a cornet is not a better option – it has a very similar sound, and is much cheaper (also Don Cherry plays it...so there's that)

Ayrin 12-06-2021 10:09 AM

I mastered the guitar a year ago. Now you can't tear your ears off

Mucha na Dziko 12-06-2021 11:29 AM

What do you mean by mastered?

I'm getting a trumpet for Christmas.
Then I hope to enlist for the trumpet individual course at my current music school (I'm on bass now; with additional classes of drums, piano, electric guitar and...um...latino/african percussion instruments in general)

vonbokhevich 01-14-2022 07:13 PM

I used to be pretty alright at guitar but I forgot pretty much everything I learned due to me hitting a brick wall of depression and going nearly two years without practicing. I also have a violin that I've messed around with but never actually learned how to play.

Tristan_Geoff 01-14-2022 08:06 PM

Hurdy Gurdy

ando here 01-18-2022 06:11 PM

Piano. Grandpop played it. Inherited his gift of perfect pitch. Just not my calling. As a hobby, though, I’ve slacked off considerably. Still enjoy banging out tunes by memory in the wee hours of the morning.

"The Blues" isn't an instrument, is it?

I'd love to be able to play "THE" Blues one day though
