I'll have to check with the music coordinator

There probably is something like that around here but it may not actually include instruments

well, just stay away from those dirty, hippy drum circles.
They wont teach you anything but how to use a deodorant crystal.

I started on the guitar when I was in grade 6, so about 11 or 12 years old. I then moved on to bass guitar, and I just recently purchased a piccolo. I realize it would probably help to learn flute first, so I might purchase myself a wooden flute just to practice and play while tripping.

I'd like to pick up a hand drum so I can do some percussive shit, and I've also been thinking of some kind of electronic equipment, but I probably don't have the patience for synths and sequencers and stuff.

the only instrument I really want that I dont own is a singing bowl.

Me and my buddy were tripping in the park a year ago... I mean, tripping really hard, we split a half oz of mushrooms... and my buddy wanders off, and as I start to realize that he is probably in jail or dead, I see him walking over with the white version of George Clinton...... this 60 year old hippy playing a flute and a singing bowl and the sounds were melding together and creating this surround sound of harmonics.
He let us play with the bowl for about 2 hours before my friend pissed him off by somehow smoking a cigarette through his flute.... Im not sure how that happened.

You can just get a keyboard man. Shit, that's probably more practical for a dorm room than a guitar.
And yes, the piano is a great choice. For one it will seriously give you a huge base of knowledge for all music and all instruments. You will learn chords, keys, how to read both bass and treble clef, all sorts of shit. You will also be able to play the coolest stuff. Piano and guitar are by far the two most versatile instruments, and also... I don't want to say easiest, but I don't know a better word so, the easiest to play awesome sounding stuff i.e. really fast licks or shit with a huge range.

Victor Wooten is pretty much the only bass player alive worth listening to when it comes to solos.

oh come on.

I run sound for The Wooten Brothers every Wednesday night (everyone but victor, futureman comes in usually) and the bassplayer they have, Keith Horn, is better (IMO) or atleast just as good.
In fact their rotating cast of bass players are all great, Steve Forrest and John Billingsworth (who can tear up an aqua pedal).
Jaco Pastorius, Tim Smollins, Mingus....BOOTSY! the list goes on.

I said alive :crankey:
Jaco is dead :sad:

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bass players that can lay down the groove, but more often than not bass solos are fucking boring and unoriginal in my opinion/experience.

Yeah man go for it, I was 17 when I picked up my friends guitar and started messing with it and 18 before I got serious about it and bought my own. Its been a little over two years for me and I am already better than most people i know who have been playing for seven or eight years. I'm not bragging I'm just saying it all depends on how committed you are. I practiced four to seven hours a day over the last two summers and at least a couple hours a day during the school year. I love it, so it's not hard for me to sit down and do it, it all depends on how committed you are.
Also I don't think lessons are a necessity either, if you can find a really great teacher then awesome but a bad teacher (most guitar teachers imo) could actually end up slowing you down. The internet is all I have ever used, but a good teacher would have been very nice to have occasionally.

Plus Frank Zappa didn't start playing till he was 18 and he was fucking amazing, of course he lived and breathed music 24/7. It's all about the time and commitment nothing else matters.

Plus you should note that most professional guitarist really aren't that good. Watch them in live shows, in the studio they do take after take after take to get things right, live they only have one shot and most of them fuck up A LOT. Nothing against them, musicianship in popular music went out the door at the end of the eighties and hasn't come back yet.

That doesn't mean there aren't still good musicians. And you can be good too if you want to be, it just takes some hard work. It won't come by itself.

One day when I was about thirteen, my friend called me and said his brother (a ten year old kid) was having a "60's flashback", listening to the Beatles and The Doors and stuff, 24-7.  I went over there and I heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time.  It blew me away and I wanted an electric guitar.

My dad kept encouraging me to get an acoustic, but I wanted an electric, and I had no money.  I also just assumed it was hideously expensive for a decent guitar.  I had failed to learn piano a few years earlier, and didn't think I had  any decent music in me.  I just listened to the music for a few years, then I finally got one for christmas one year.

I know what you mean and I've heard the same advice given to me for piano, but the thing is I live in a dorm

I like the idea of a drumset, but at the same time it won't fit, and bass...I dunno man, isn't it barely noticeable anymore?

Or I dunno, could you recommend some music that;s bass heavy?




Play the instrument you like the sound of most.  If it's a guitar, get a guitar.  If it's keys, get keys.

Don't buy a bass if you don't want to emulate the bass in the music you like.  That's what my friend did.  He played it a few times and, after having it sit in his basement for 5 years, he gave it to me.

I was 18.5 when I started playing guitar.  When you're 25, you'll have 7 years of experience.

People start when they're 40, and they're ten-year veterans when they're 50.  There would be no good reason not to start playing music even if you were 70.

Do it now, you'll have a 50-year head-start.

I was about 12 or so when I started to play the drums, and I literally did it for the women. Ironically, the drums have not helped me get a single one. My gramps, him being very spiritual and has traveled around the world, plays pretty much any hand drum and he makes them too. I sucked for a year or so before I got really determined to get better. If it wasnt for my gramps and him taking me to reggaefest and chillin with all his rasta-like friends, my life would be a lot different.

i think its much more of an appriciation of music rather then fascination with the instrument itself.
