Current Events > You instantly become fluent in THIS instrument...

(+) Yeah! (+)

What instrument would you pick?
---

Piano since I already play the Trumpet
---

Cello

Violin
---

Piano.
---

Guitar

Call it cliche if you want but damn it gets the chicks.
---

Wait, curious to know -

define "fluent"? Like are we talking mastery, or just "proficient"?
---

singing if vox counts

otherwise keyboard/piano/synth
---

The Guitar, I play a few other instrument very well. However for the life of my I can not get the guitar. I am like a novice level and seemingly can't get better.

Guitarist for shit, like 17 years here. To be honest it doesn't really work that way. The band leader who happens to play guitar gets all the chicks, not the lead guitarist who can play all the licks.

If you can sing well and play some chords you're doing better than the guy who sits in his room and practises metal sweeping.

Sax.

Piano.

I already play guitar, used to play violin and was decent at piano for a little bit.

Also, I already sorta know how to play bass too.

I guess... drums. Maybe I should consider the tenor sax as an option.


Hell, wait a sec. Maybe the banjo. Been awhile since I played violin so I guess I could say mandolin or fiddle.


Shit.. fuck it. I'm saying a harp.

Guitar. I already play a bit of it and sure wouldn't mind getting better at it, especially if it happens magically for no reason.

I've had a guitar for 6 years and I still haven't learned to play it...

Theramin.

Trumpet I guess.
Easiest money ever.

Those guys that play a sad melody on funerals for like 2mins get a couple hundred $.
Couple a funerals per day and I'm good.

I'd rather play like Angus Young and maybe Steve Vai combined. That way I can still do good music when needed, and also be somebody who is hella technical.

You can do that with many instruments though. Trumpet, violin, guitar, piano

Skin flute

Guitar

Probably regret not picking piano, though.

I hesitated between both, but honestly, a guitar is easier to carry around.

as a semi-professional trumpet player:
don't do it with the expectation of getting lots of gigs. you won't

bass players get way more gigs
except during the period around remembrance day

that being said:
in addition to trumpet, I have decent piano/ukulele/voice chops
I would go with bass or drums. probably the latter
---

Electric/Double Bass
---

I love the piano, mang. Gotta go with that
---

piano for real
---

piano. literally the goat instrument
---

Piano
---

Accordian, as there are so many types of music in Mexico that use it like Norteño, Grupera, and Ranchera. Being a white guy I'd always be referred to as Güerito and would get even more girls than I do now since I'd be in a band.

Maybe piano, not that I care much for playing an instrument.

Idk man, I'm not an American so maybe it's different.
But over here every Catholic consists of:
Gathering in front of the morgue to pay respects to the family.
(There's a nice room where the body's displayed and everyone comes to pay respects.)
Then when the body gets loaded into the car for transportation to cemetery, the guy plays a requested song with his trumpet, no more than 3mins and everyone's on their way.
Then on the cemetery, while they're lowering the body, he plays it again and that's it.
There's at least 3 ceremonies per day at my local morgue and the guy can certainly attend at least two.
Since there are not many people who play the trumpet at funeral, it's easy money.

Piano and it's not even close
