    Default Another instrument?

    Yeah, I got sucked into playing the trumpet as well.

    So now I spend my time practicing drum rudiments, bass lines, guitar chords, as well as sax tone and now trumpet. I'm practicing about 2-3h a day.

    Yeah, but trumpet really isn't that hard. The hardest part is remembering where your fingers go for each note. I faked through a year of band in high school on trumpet, and that's with having to play alone in front of the class.

    There's only three valves, thank God.

    That's great. Do you compose your own songs? Create bunch of melodies? Do you have any recording equipment? PC based studio with a good soundcard and microphone? Lyrics? Tell me more.

    PC based soundcard with 8 mics, drumkit, upright bass, sax, trumpet, own melodies. I record the drum first, then the piano, then bass, then continue with whatever else I need.

    Well... there's advantages with that too. Your band will never break up
    Lemme guess what you're playing. Jazz-blues-cocktail music and some old school rock and roll on the other side. I would like to hear your stuff, BUT.. that's up to you. If it sounds anything like Ry Cooder then you SHOULD send me some to hear.

    And how much did you pay for the upright bass? Just curious... it's my dream instrument and I still don't have it. :/

    I paid about $350. But I had to repaint it. And you'd be correct, though not cocktail music.

    "Cocktail" was just used instead of word mashup although now I see it might be understood differently as well....

    OliX: I will send you some when I get the recording right, if you wish.

    Of course! Don't forget I bet you already heard my stuff since I was spaming this boards with them regularly... In case you didn't you can find some on www.soundcloud.com/olix . You can share private tracks with only certain people there if you wish...

    I used to play the trumpet in middle school through high school.
    I love it!
    And i really dont know why.
    I guess i just love being melodically obnoxious :]
