I play piano/keyboard (I would say I prefer the piano, though; I love the feel of the keys!) My dad also plays bass guitar and has been teaching me.
I play the piano/keyboard too! and I also like the feel of the keys on a piano way more than on a keyboard.

The Escapist as a whole plays a giant triangle. It involves using a human pyramid to hold it off the ground, and a small army to use the beater on it. Its worth it when it comes together though, us, Gamespot on Bass, IGN on Drums, and GameSpy on Guitar/Vocals.
That'd make us the most useless part! And since we kick the arses of those lot we should totally be vocals at least ^^


Also I play bass. Here's mah dawg:

I used to play violin, before I had a little accident and blew out my bowing elbow. Kinda sucked, OK, sucked a lot, but by then I had switched over to voice more. I'm operatically trained, plus sing in an acapella group. Voice is an instrument, too, after all. :)

Piano (Jazz and Classical) though I'm out of Practise, self taught Guitar (mostly Fingerpicking), and a tiny bit of Violin thrown in there for good measure.

Also I've been told I have a good singing voice.

used to play piano, for about 6 years, it bored me immensly after a while though, so now I sing of were counting that, but because of my piano work i occasionally chip in as an extra ear for our guitarists

Hey, sorry I'm late!

I play bass, studying popular music and performance and I play in a funk/R&B band (should get some songs up soon).

Few questions for my fellow musicians here (in order to get some discussion, rather then listing how awesome you are)

Theory? Yay or Nay?

What do you all think? I've heard so many arguments about this (mainly at uni). Personally I think theory is important to have, especially if you plan on taking Music seriously. Without theory I believe you are limited in what you can do, it makes it so much harder to play with other musicians, its harder to write songs and its harder to understand them. I'm not saying you can't enjoy music without theory and I'm not saying you can't play music with theory, I just think it makes everything run smoother.

To my fellow Bass Players

How do you approach writing lines to a new song?

This year at uni has been pretty tough because they pretty much told us "Okay, you have 8 weeks till your gig, write 7 songs" and I haven't had a lot of experience doing this (all my other bands have just done covers). It took me awhile but I think I have finally found a solid way to look at it. As a bass player do you try to support the drums or the guitar, do you look to be felt rather then heard and do you like complex stuff or simple, laid back lines?

Also.. what the shit is with all the pointy basses on this pages?? Not cool.

Does Rock Band count? No?

Then no. Sadly, I have zero musical talent. Though I occasionally bang out a rhythm on various inanimate objects. Bring the funk.

Classical Guitar! I meddle in piano as well but my dream would be to know violin too.
