played trumpet for a year. never learned any other instrument but think i'm a natural rhythm guitarist. Thats If i learned how to play guitar rather than air. can't sing and don't want to, but drums always looked interesting to me, hitting the right ones when i'm supposed to, having a sense of time for it which i don't. Bass is just a foreign language i don't think i'll ever learn.

so anyway with an all inclusive band, what are you playing, or are you singing? regardless if you actually know how to do it or not.

hmm. never played much music and i never got in a band but all my friends are. mostly punk/rock.

btw: maybe move this to the music forum?

I see myself as being a lead guitarist. It's just what I do best, mostly because I'm classically taught.

To this day I still don't like using picks. I'll do it, but I'd rather fingerpick.

In any case, re: bass, it seems complicated when you've been reading treble clef all your life, but if you actually sit down and take the time to learn it it's not all that complicated. I played trumpet for years before switching to baritone and had to learn bass clef because I'd occasionally get stuck with a trombone part. At first I was lost, then I started to figure it out.

Just remember that good boys deserve fudge always (GBDFA instead of EGBDF).

Yeah, this should be in music I reckon. Mods?

Rhythm guitar singer/songwriter. Can't read music though and am self taught. I am pioneering my very own brand of jingly jangley slit wrist acoustic indie music for the time been. I was in a band, we played punk and rock, which was very satisfying. In true punk rock fashion we practised for about six hours a year before we played our last gig. Now, it's just me and my acoustic man, and that's all I need. 'Yeah right, sure Donovan, perhaps the words deluded mean something to you?'

I'm a deaf, blind, quadriplegic drummer in a rap-punk band.
