Sorry, I give equal respect to all musical instruments.

Of course u would be respected. I'm not downplaying the box base or those who play it. I, myself have played the box base and enjoyed it thoroughly but I would not put it in the same class as an instrument that can do so much more and produce a much greater variety of sound.

Therefore, I respect some instruments more than others.

You are digging yourself into an even deeper hole. . . .even less than "no respect" for you.

I thought I was being quite polite. Let's say u win. I'd rather not digress from the true purpose of the thread.

Guitar for me. Learned through Ultimate-Guitar tabs and the rockongoodpeople youtube channel, plus many similar Youtube channels.

Would like to learn to play everything else in a standard band setup (bass & drums) as well as a prog band setup (keyboards, Moog synthesizer, cowbell).

nuff respect for le recorder

trini_champ · Postby **trini_champ** » August 8th, 2012, 9:21 am

Yes, the recorder in that song sounds lovely. I'm still humming it as i type but this same song can be played by a ten year old. Props to u if u respect that as much as a Slash guitar solo or a Chopin masterpiece.

By the way, I couldn't care less about respect from you. That's not what this discussion is about.

^Still a McCartney melody though eh! Anything would sound good playing along to that. Kinda like the Beach Boys made the theremin sound relevant. lol.

If you can comprehend sheet music, then you should be able to comprehend the english language.

It was you who raised issue with the recorder not being a real instrument. The discussion is not about what is a real instrument or not, it is about what musical instrument you play. The recorder is a musical instrument and therefore has every right to be mentioned in this thread.

Started playing Drums over 30 years ago sold my kit about 15 years ago then switched to percussion and played in a J'ouvert bands Rhythm section for 8 years running played Iron, Conga, or whatever .

Recently have been thinking about starting back Drumming and was looking for a kit but Injured my left wrist I havent played since to see if its affecting my playing though .

And I know what you say about Toby I went by him just to talk as I was thinking about going for lessons by him and he blew me away actually made me scared to play again that was when I just started .

The Dhantal is not classed as East Indian Instrument because it never came from Indian. Some say it came from Trinidad or Guyana, some east Indians in Fiji use it but there is no history of the Dhantal in India.

Well if we knew where it came from then it can be counted as one. It does not come from India becuase no one knows of it or uses it, so how do u class it as an instrument

By age 12 I was in grade 5 and came 3rd on 12 and under. I went all the way up to grade 8 but playing the piano takes a lot of time and practice so I don't really play much anymore. I just make sure I do enough every now and then so that I don't lose the skill.

I also play the guitar which I learned to play in about 3 months, 2 years ago. I had a real good teacher who was the guitarist in Skid Nvely at the time. Once u have a good base, u can learn any instrument.

Shane or Shallun?, i know Shallun gives bass and guitar lessons.
This was a video when i was getting now getting the hang of the instrument, was over at a friend's who convinced me to put up summn that i could reflect on in the future.
