| Question: How do I tell my parents what I want to become? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 08:04 PM PDT It will help if you have a realistic plan for supporting yourself. Realistically, you're going to need a day job to support yourself until you become a big star. If you tell them what you have planned as your day job so that they don't end up financially supporting you for the rest of your life, they will support your decision. If your plan is to live with them until you make a living as a singer or actor without a day job, then they're going to tell you to be more realistic. See the movie, "That Guy Who Was in That Thing". It will show you what it is really like to be an actor.  |
| Question: What is a good bass guitar to start off with? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 07:31 PM PDT Hi, I ve wanted to learn to play bass guitar for some time now, and I ve saved up enough to buy a decent instrument. What brand should I get/which would be a good bass to start off with? I m not looking for anything flashy, just to start learning the basics on. Thanks! |

| Question: I want to build my own guitar, Which kit is the best.? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 02:09 PM PDT Hello there, A project guitar is as good as the skill and experience of the builder. Without experience, forget the notion of getting a good guitar out of it. Do the project for the fun of it and the learning experience. If you really are concerned about getting a good guitar, buy a good guitar. One thing that is an essential skill: you must be able to do a complete set up on the guitar after you have assembled it. Until you do a set up, the guitar will be pretty much unplayable. There is more to doing a project guitar (whether from a DIY kit or assembling from parts) than just screwing the pieces together. With a DIY kit, at least you will know all the parts will work together (you do not need to know scale lengths). However, nearly all the DIY kits are low quality parts. By assembling a project guitar from parts you buy separately, you can use better quality parts. However, a good quality project guitar will cost you more than just buying a guitar. It costs more to buy a guitar piece by piece than to buy it complete. Even that the DIY parts kits you find are pretty much the same low quality, do be too concerned about finding the best one. Just find one you like. For what it is worth: I have had to help more than one guy with his DIY kit guitar to make it playable. I have assembled about 50 project guitars in the last 10 years. Usually did about 5 a year. Later, |
| Question: Do I have to go back to learn how to read music to play guitar? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 11:32 AM PDT Depends on what you want to play and how well you want to play. But here's the thing....just as all guitarists who can read and play from standard sheet music are not equally as proficient as musicians, the SAME THING GOES FOR GUITARISTS WHO DO NOT READ MUSIC! Will people please stop pointing to Jimi Hendrix or Paul McCartney as if they are "typical" of people who did not learn how to read or write in standard notation? Because they are NOT typical. YOUR results may vary. It NEVER hurts to learn as much as you can for whatever instruments you want to play. But again--it's up to you. If you would be happy just playing chords to accompany singing, for example, you really won't have to learn anything but how to read chord symbols (which shouldn't take any effort at all--they're basically pictures showing you where to put your fingers on the strings). If you remember how to read music from your trumpet days, a "C" is still a "C" and a "D" is still a "D", even on a guitar. The only thing you are learning is WHERE that note is located on the guitar fret, and it is possible to even play the same pitch on several different strings. If you take lessons, you can save a lot of time figuring when to use WHAT position to play something. Another thing to keep in mind, that guitar music (except for that of bass guitar) is written on treble clef only, so you at least don't have to worry about playing more than one clef at a time as you would if you took up the piano. On the other hand, the actual PITCH of the WRITTEN note on guitar sheet music will actually SOUND an entire OCTAVE lower (provided you've got your guitar tuned accurately using standard tuning). |
