I'm going to have to disagree with you there Tom. They might be similar in America, but they are quite different in other countries (For example, Australia (Where I live) and England). I play a euphonium, but I used to play a baritone. If anything, a baritone is closer to a horn rather than a tuba, as the baritone has a smaller bore size and is generally more compact. A euphonium and tuba I can accept being basically the same (because they are), but not a baritone. Just as a quick reference, a baritone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Baritone.jpg, an euphonium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Euphonium1.JPG and a tuba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tuba.pngTomNook said:
Tell you who's a really really really good banjo player - STEVE MARTIN!Ciarog said:
Just recently been listening to his early stand up shows (e.g. Get Small, A Wild and Crazy Guy) and not only was he genuinely really funny back then, he's also a really really really good banjo player. Worth checking out I promise you!
Geez.. Violin VS guitar
Least it isnt another bass vs guitar XD
Now.. nilpferdkoenig using Nirvana as an example of guitar skill is like using me in grade 4 as an example of violin skill. There are a ton of really good classical gutiarists that might tickle ones fancy (I stay the hell away from solo shreaders myself..)
j-e-f-f-e-r-s.. Come now. You have to admit that your average guitarist is noo where near the musical level of an average violinist. I played classical upright bass for a year through school and the level of sophistication was way behond anything I could imagen. The fingering, the lack of frets, the bowing (god how I hate the bowing). I know eletric bass and upright bass are way closer to each other than guitar is to violin but I would put a violinist who could play canon in D higher then your average Em pentatonic shreader.
You can do some totaly insane things with a guitar, but thanks to tabs, punk bands and distortion it has really lost a lot of musical credit

I play some classical and ballad music with an classical acoustic(like a normal acoustic but with a jack for amplification) and also use a imitation fender 52 stratocaster to play classic rock(guns and roses, led zeppelin, rush, the like) and songs by joe satriani and steve vai
I've been playing guitar for around 9 and a half years now. I'm not too bad, but I should get back into it, my skills have really dropped. I mostly play video game tunes and Metal songs, especially stuff by In Flames, Opeth, HammerFall and Luca Turilli. I own an Ibanez RG 170, it has a few modifications for easier playing and it is my baby.
