its never too late, but now that i play pretty well by ear, i dont seem to have the patience to learn to read. its more fun just to play lol

in other words im too lazy lol

i learned by ear. i suggest to anybody that is learning to learn to read music as well because i always wished i could.
try to find someone that has a web cam to show ya some stuff. its always easier to learn when you can see someone playing versus trying tom figure things out by yourself. i rely on tablature, and youtube videos to learn new stuff myself.

gotta love technology

Hey ajay,
Sound like you are a talented writer. Love short stories. Do you have any published?

Hey VideoAce,
Do you recommend learing a new instrument by ear or by reading music?
I took about 10 months of piano in early 20's but was disctracted and wasn't 'feeling' it. I am wondering if I find a teacher who can teach me to learn by ear and feel the music instead of reading the music if that might be a good way to go..... I realize everyone learns differently but if you have any suggestions let me know.
How did you learn?

Same as Bex, choir at church, then clarinet for 4 yrs....stopped short of band attire.

Drums for awhile, some harmonica and some little accordian and keyboard. Work best on a cowbell. Remember Farrel on SatNiteLive.....

Finally realized that talent is different that practice.....and became a paying member of the audience.

BEX YOU SHOULD PLAY OUT

But to me, the really talented are those that can fire rhyme. Unique skill.

I write lyrics, short stories, screen plays, and poetry. I have done this in excess of 20 years. I have a bass and started to learn to play it but got sidetracked with work and life. I plan to learn it @ some point so i can add to my creativity. So i no longer will just write lyrics i can put all the pieces together myself and have my own voice and be unstoppable.
