Have you tried playing other instruments ? Which ones and how successful were you?
Besides playing bass, I can somewhat play guitar and I also tried playing keyboards/piano in the past as well as harmonica  I really liked playing the piano and it would be awesome if I have developed those skills further.... What are your experiences ? Was the guitar the first instrument you tried to play? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE (mhskeide @ Jun 4 2011, 03:56 PM)  I actually played tuba (4 years) and trumpet (1 year) before starting out with any rock related instrument  For the last 6-7, I have been playing both bass and guitar. Though, I have practised far to little technique and groove on bass, so I`m not too good at it... Lately, I have also begun to play some piano/keyboard and tried a bit singing! The vocals are for the moment about equal to a light torture, but hopefully I`ll get better  With time, I also hope to learn to play drums! Maybe my favorite rock instrument, funny enough  Oh cool, I would love to try out trumpet or saxophone I also hope to get my hand on an upright bass some time in the future. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I play both piano and guitar frequently, though I consider the guitar my main instrument. I tried to play trumpet in the 3rd-4th grade, but found out I didn't like cleaning out the spit valves after every practice and keeping the other parts well oiled. I also tried to learn to play the mandolin, since I come from a region with a strong bluegrass tradition, and the mandolin is often used in that style of music. I got to where I could play basic chords and a few songs, but gradually I just let guitar take over till now I don't even own a mandolin. I have often thought about trying to learn bass guitar sometime in the future, using Bogdan's excellent lessons to get me started of course!

Having experience playing bass and guitar I found out that bass playing perspective gives you somehow a wider picture in terms of imagination. Since your primary role there is to provide a "foundation" for the song/band. Now you reminded me - I gotta buy Ukelele )) That would really cool to have around

I started with keyboard lessons when I was around 12.
Then I picked up the guitar some years later. In my mid twenties I played bass in a band. I borrowed the instrument and really had no pratice and no theory or anything. But this is how we sounded http://www.reverbnation.com/merchantstreet (Not really my usual genre, but it was quite fun anyway) This post has been edited by Ulrik: Jun 4 2011, 06:57 PM --------------------  |

I'm actually getting quite good with blues harp, I'm slowly learning to produce notes out of a diatonic range
I tried to learn keyboard, but it stayed on C major chords and melodies for me, and couple of blues licks. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I actually started playing piano at the age of 8 before guitar. I once tried out my Dad's trumpet (back when he used to play) and it was kinda fun.

I tried keyboard and drums but guitar, composing and recording take too much of my time so I couldn't study too much. I use keyboard for composing but I can't play a whole piece.
I would love to learn to play the Cello. I never tried it but I love its sound.

I guess bass doesn't count, since I'm not good with my fingers, but I can play some basic slow stuff with fingers, and I could possibly do a gig with a pick on the bass
