If you could learn any instrument fast (matrix style!) what would it be? :D

Posted by Paul Taite on October 19, 2007 at 3:33am in Music

Just wondering what instrument people would learn if you could instantly be amazing at one with no practice involved?? Just like in the matrix, plug that metal cord thing into the back of your cortex and wham, you're a musical genius gal\guy!
Personally I'm a huge bass guitar fan and I play it in a fun band with my bro and room mate, I tried 6 string guitar and I'm getting better at it. But to answer the question, I still think drums would be killer to be able to play sweet without needing heaps of practice!! Especially being able to bust out Basketcase like Tre' in that video ... soooo cooool! What do the peeps on mix think ?? *thinks* ... oh and I saw on here that it said some bands don't like people downloading their music, I don't mind in fact its encouraged, listen to my bands debut album created in garageband!! http://www.yesterdaywasmine.com/YWM/Music.html ... haha!! anyhow let the answers roll in!!

I love it!, a friend of mine just taught me how to play 'clubbed to death (by rob dougan)' on the piano and I fell in love with the instrument.; ▶ Reply to This

I allready play drums, which i love.... but the warm sound of a good sax... damn, it's giving me goosebumps allready :)

I really like the possibilities of the piano and guitar, but i really don't like there sounds as mutch as a saxophone.; ▶ Reply to This

I'd also want to learn the mandolin.; ▶ Reply to This
