[QUOTE=BenJammin;13497872]You lucky bastards.

I feel like I got such a late start on music and that I'll never be truly competent in the eyes of the music community.[/QUOTE]

It is never too late to start. I didn't even listen to music until five years ago.

Your more than competent man.

We'll have to be careful though, we don't want it to be an artistic statement, we just want to be bad.

:wave:

[QUOTE=progmegood;13497943]Brilliant, sheer brilliance. We could also be The Mediocre Experience.[/QUOTE]

Yes.

I totally agree.

On an unrelated note, we should really do a collab sometime.

:lol: exsactly. so like, as soon as everyone thinks they have it figured out, we'll make a good song to piss all of them off.:p

I'm interested, we'll talk.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13498026]I'm interested, we'll talk.[/QUOTE]

Word. As soon as I finish my truck-load of course work, I'll have lots of time.

[QUOTE=Akira;13497827]Yeah. Even the best musicians in my school's bands don't know theory that well. I am really fortunate in the fact that my mom is a musician, so she started me on piano early. More than that though it was that she was always like playing guitar around me, so I developed a real passion for music.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, my mum started me out when I was around seven. I didn't appreciate music at the time, so I ended up dropping out of piano. I dabbled on my grandparents guitar, but it wasn't until fifth grade when they showed me how to play trumpet and guitar. I hated both, though, and, when I started middle school, I took up clarinet for three years. From there, I took up bass in the eighth grade, and, when I went to high school, I vowed not to join any school band. I ended up joining my school's jazz band, but not for bass. I ended up playing tenor saxophone, and then the instructor required that saxophonists played flute as well, so I had to take that up as well.

Since then, I have started learning some guitar, and I know how to play drums as well, and I have been meaning to start back up with piano.

Neither of my parents play anymore, but my dad played trumpet when he was in high school, and my mum played violin for five years when she was younger. My parents are completely supportive of me in every way possible when it comes to playing music.

All the band and choir kids at my second high school, though, don't know theory at all. That is why most of them took the theory classes, but most of them were just utterly confused when the material was presented to them. At my first high school, it was an art school, and everyone who played in the jazz band was pretty much top notch, so they all knew what they were talking about.

It's a date. I'm generally free, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Heh, thanks Steve. I'm learning my theory now and I'd really like to go for a Bachelor of Music degree after I finish my BA. Whether it happens, I don't know... but I'd like to try.

Go to McGill for it!

[QUOTE=progmegood;13498076]It's a date. I'm generally free, so it shouldn't be a problem.[/QUOTE]

Sweeeeeet.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13498090]Go to McGill for it![/QUOTE]

Why McGill?

Do they take electric bass?

I was just playing my guitar a couple hours ago, and it was creeping me out. I had chops.....Then I played some chords, and they went away.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13498104]Why McGill?

Do they take electric bass?[/QUOTE]

I think they do....
And, because I'm going there.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13498138]I think they do....

Good reason. :lol:

Can you think of a better one?

Hot French girls?

...ok, one other one

Beer at the corner stores?

thom yorke album = :thumb:

I just showered and shaved. Hooray!

And still in a good mood. :D

****! Ok, ok, there's better reason.

I can't wait to go....

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13498280]I just showered and shaved. Hooray!

I've done neither, and I'm not in a mood.

[QUOTE=Left Shoe;13498276]thom yorke album = :thumb:[/QUOTE]

It's true.

But Radiohead as a whole is better than Thom Yorke on his own.

I need to sell all my gear, anyone interested in anything?

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13498290]It's true.

yeah but i dig his sound by himself

[QUOTE=progmegood;13498283]****! Ok, ok, there's better reason.

Haha, yeah. The girlfriend of a friend of mine just graduated there and she loved it. She now teaches high school in Montreal. She's 23 and is starting at $35,000. And she's really freaking hot.

[QUOTE=Left Shoe;13498303]yeah but i dig his sound by himself[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I've only listened to The Eraser a couple of times, so I don't know it too well, but I do like it. It just reminds me a lot of Radiohead, only without the rest of the band to be so awesome with him.

Sure! Watcha got?
