I thaught i would add to firestorms coment about playing the drums. If yu are using a drum set you are unfamiliar with then move it a little to fit your needs and tap all of the cymbols and toms and ect to for two or three beats as you warm up to get a feel of how everything works together. My friend christian Is a drummer who is completely blind and what he does is gets a feel for where every thing is and has it memorized in oone fill. if you want to realy know yur set like he does try feeling around it and new sets with your eyes closed.


as far as questions you want to ask me ask just about anything I play about 60 instruments mostly precusion. if you have questions about being in a band or theory or music styles of any7 sort you can ask those too. I know alot about music and have almost 6000 songs on my Ipod. I had about 34 000 but the external hardrive i kept them on crashed and I lost it all. so you can ask me any question about just about anyuthing music related in any way including gear questions.

the instruments I play are...

violin, flute, fife, pan flute, drums, guitar, nylon guitar, bass, concert toms, concert bass drums, triangle, timbali, timpani, crotali, xylophone, vibrophone, bells, chimes, mandalin, marching snaer, marching bass, cymbols, field snear, concert snear, bongos, cunga, piano, vocals, suspended cymbol, tamborine, wood blocks, mirumba, 12 string guitar, 6 string bass, 8 string bass, 7 string guitar, glocenspiel, viola, cello, concert bells, break drums, turn tables, bell tree, wind chimes, pipe organ, cow bells, malet kat, bong, gong, vibraslap, wistles, hi Hat, china cymbol, pang cymbol, clave, claper, finger cymbols, checare and shaker.

as you can see some of them seem simple but all are hard in theyer own way.

Better add me to that list. :lol:

First question for all of you. How long did it take you to read music and how difficult was it for you? I have been playing the guitar for about 4 years and I am completely self taught. The only thing I know that's close to reading music is the different tunings I play. Like drop D, D standard, drop C (used the most), C standard, and drop B flat. Other than that I don't know diddly squat about reading music.

Thanks for the excellent tip on reading Bass tabs, I was having a tough time figuring out what order the numbers went in with the corresponding frets, Now I know that its reversed! I appreciate you clearing that up. FINALLY!

Guitar tabs aren't so hard to read. I think it would be less confusing if the tabs were set up like you were looking directly at the instrument you were holding. I learned how to easily read them in one day.
