ElectricitySucks Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 im going to start playing piano because every other musical instrument ive been playing (guitar, bass) is getting very boring. i need to learn how to play that fast crazy deep emotional 1700's hard to pronounce italian/german name's of prodigies and shit. whats a good price for a keyboard? if you know how to play, teach me. i have alot of free time at work. and dont say anything about reading music. i dont want that stupid nonsence.

saraday Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 the first thing i would suggest is learning how to read music... oh wai.... but seriously, that's the only way you can learn how to play the "fast crazy deep emotional 1700's hard to pronounce italian/german" compositions that you're talking about (i'm guessing)...

Quoted post thats funny cause i was going to write about that but then i backspaced it. but half those prodigies didnt even know how to read music in the first place. all socially inept and a.d.h.d. to hell yet were brilliant musicians. the only problem is, im nowhere near that. im good with my ears though, alot of the shit i hear i can figure it out somewhat, just really not fast shit. *just NOT., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricitySucks Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 ok. ive come to the conclusion that before starting this shit, ive got to do the whole learning how to read music. with that being said. someone teach me how to read music. is it really hard? take a long time? fill me in music nerds!

rental Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 to read actual musical notes is not difficult. but i think piano music is written different with the chords and two hands and whatnot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricitySucks Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 ive been playing guitar for like 6 years so i know some shit about notes/chords, i know what certain things sound like and stuff. kind of hard to explain. anything in common with guitar and piano chords?

Quoted post not even true. I have played instruments by ear my whole life. I figured out the whole moonlight sonata by ear when i was in 1st grade. learning theory can only help you as a musician though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymity1 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 If you want to learn badly enough, just get a keyboard and use your "ears" and try playing some improv off some good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
