    Re: Switching teams

    The overwhelming majority of guitarists never learn any of that either.

    Learning music teaches you that crap, not any specific instrument.

      Some instruments are more suited to it than others. It's gonna be easier to get good at creating bass lines on bass than triangle.

        That doesn't have anything to do with understanding the stuff, though.

          Yes, playing it and hearing it does help you understand what you're focusing on.

            Well, I started playing cello in third grade and was in the city orchestra by 5th or 6th. Then I switched to classical guitar at 12 or 13. Didn't know it at the time but I wound up taking lessons from this dude that went to the New England Conservatory who happened to be a protégé of Segovia. Pity that I didn't pay more attention to my lessons.

              Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, Charles Mingus, Stanley Clarke . . . I can think of a lot of people who would probably disagree with you.

              I'd also argue that learning keyboard is likely to teach beginners melody, harmony, and songwriting a whole lot better than guitar. . . because most people pick up a guitar, bang out a few chords maybe learn to read tabs and stop. Most people are forced to learn music theory when they start to play piano. Hendrix was (still is) considered a phenomenal guitarist for his ability to play lead and rhythm at the same time. An awful lot of beginner piano songs do that. :P

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

                Oh, so anyway, playing bass isn't completely foreign to me. It's almost like playing rhythm guitar, but just the root notes. And you throw in a scale every now and again.
                Unless you're playing Overkill, or Kreator, Or Dream Theater or...

                  Good luck achieving that same rocking delivery on piano. :P

                          The Arizonan one might agree with you.

                            I'll just leave this right here. Those of you who claim that Nirvana made bad music must seriously be doing some mental gymnastics and I have pity on your soul. Good luck coming up with something this melodic in your lifetime.

                                Demanix is grunge after all.
