I first learned to play the Alto Saxophone when I was a wee one, gave it up after a few years but I have some certificates to prove I was good at it. After that I sold my saxophone- well my parents did- and I got a drum set and played that for many years under my own tuition. Soon after I got into Sonic Youth I became interested in guitars, and taught myself to play some basic chords and whatnot. I'm quite good at it now, I believe.
In helping my dad record his first album last year I took upon myself to learn more instruments to give his album a bigger sound- I implemented drums, of course, but also laid down bass and keyboard tracks, again under my own tuition of trial and error. I got a mandolin for christmas and I'm trying to play it. |

The obvious one (guitar), violin, clarinet and percussion. I own loads of instruments, but those are the only ones I play to a decent level. Why d'you ask? What do you play? Hmm?

I like mandolin. It's like a violin but much more forgiving. Give it a bit of Bach's sonatas & partitas for solo violin. Sounds ace on a mandolin.

Ah right. Well, it's easy enough to criticise people for not being as good as oneself. But then, you'll always, no matter who you are, find a better musician than yourself. Generally speaking, the professional (as in properly professional, in orchestras and not just session pricks) musicians I know are terrifically deferent and let people get on with it, mainly because they're entirely comfortable in their ability to shit on others' musical knowledge.

"Good as myself" has nothing to do with anything, Glice.
You missed the point entirely. |

Clicked the link. Sounds to me like Mr AvantGarde (perhaps the name is a clue?) is interested in the guitar as a source for textures rather than as a tonal/ chordal box. Much like Mr Keith Rowe (the subject of a recent thread) or My Cat is an Alien (subject of thread previous) or any of the innumerable scenes that grew up in the wake of what one might call the 'modernist' movement in 20th-century art music. Or maybe he's a poseur with leopard print on his guitar. In fairness, and I mean this quite sincerely, the guitar is an abysmal instrument; badly put together, fretted and tuned in a disgusting fashion. Personally speaking, I'd much rather people did interesting things with the guitar as a sound-source than pretend that it can sit anywhere near the capabilities of a proper (orchestral) instrument.

Yes any guitarist that can actually play can also play bass to an extent. But not any person that owns a guitar. For instance, avantgarde1 can't play bass. http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=18830 avantgarde1 would be much better suited to pick up the harmonica. |
