DanvillRob Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Rob, you're right on target. m And when we're not playin' I could learn to conjugate verbs and how to stay away from danglin' participles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I suspect we all get bored from time to time..... i've not only got away from playing from time to time, I once sold everything I had..... GADS what a mistake! I'm STILL buying stuff back and I'm OLD! I'm a little off the guitar right now, but it's mostly due to time constraints. I'd like to learn the violin, i have a very nice one, and it sits next to the TV in the family room. The fingering isn't what's making it so tough, it's the bow..... but I'll keep at it when I get tired of the guitar and piano. Simple solution, if you will Learn violin via the mandolin Double the fun..... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V I will probably do that.... my brother is buggin' me to buy a mandolin, but I don't want a cheapie...... and I don't want to spend any of my "stash" on a good mandolin becasue I'm hoping a good H'bird KOA will pop up soon!

milod Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah, well I played enough mandolin that I figured I could manage the fiddle. Not. The cat kept barfing on the living room rug whenever I messed with the thing back in the mid 1970s. I gave up. He didn't mind the banjo, guitars or mandolin. Still have the fiddle, though. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FarnsBarns Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ain't touched mine in 30 years. Literally. Cleaning cat barf from the living room carpet is just toooooooo much. M, how old is your cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Farns... That particular cat gave up his 9th and final life at age 20. But I figured the current editions would have similar responses. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Bored with the guitar? Take up the trombone..... V That's funny. I started my musical adventure on a trombone in the mid 50's in grade school. Then in '62 I got my first guitar. I've never been bored with playing it, ever. So as I see it, playing trombone is a cure for any guitar boredom.

milod Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Until last week I woulda said I used to play trumpet but it ain't likely with my storebought teeth. Then I did some work with the Texas State University trumpet department head who has a cupla storebought teeth and sez he's had good luck teaching folks with variations of storeboughts. Sheesh. I ain't played in over 40 years and he sez I could get back to it if I worked at it. Okay, Whatever. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky(arguably) to learn the violin first at age 7, but generally hated it and gave it up for 30 odd years Concentrating on guitar However, returning to violin and mandolin, playing celtic folk etc has been a breath of fresh air....my hero...Dave Swarbrick V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO brass is a total change from guitar...requires a good ear and different skills And listening to Dixie trumpet, trombone, tuba etc is totally refreshing.....
