Musical Talent

[TaikoxKashi]

Hello, everyone. I was wondering how musically talented OnRPG was? Tell us about your musical background and what you can do.

My dad has been a professional singer for a long time now, and I picked up his voice, so i've been a choir geek ever since I can remember, and have sang a solo at All County Choir (Mercer county in WV) and All State Chorus last year.

I also have played guitar since I was about 9 or 10. And i'm learning how to play drums by ear.

So tell me, OnRPG, Y U NO TELL ME UR MUSIC BACKGROUND ALREADY?

[Z0Mnomnom]

I played the drums for about a month in a band in school. Played in front of a crowd and everything! That's about as far as my instrumental expertise stretches.

[olaph]

I can play the kazoo like a boss!! I even put this guy to shame!

[Hizumi]

Been trained in Jazz and Blues guitar mainly for 10+ years, but I play metal now mostly. I practice a bit on bass and drums now and then. Not a huge synth/trance person but the stuff for it is there with the midi keyboard.

[Groteske]

My family is more into mechanics than music.

But eh I have dabbled in piano. D: Never seriously though.

I would love to learn a musical instrument but I rather learn a foreign language. You can say music is a language everyone understands but in my opinion languages like Mandarin and Japanese when spoken fluently sound so beautiful. I especially love the rhythm of mandarin.

[markca]

used to play the flute for 5+ years and stopped.

[$$$]

I play them drums. In a few bands on-and-off.

[Neil]

I have the voice of an angle.

[Paladuck]

I have the voice of an angle.

You have a very obtuse way of describing things :3

[MrTingTing]

i played guitar for quite a while. stopped due to being horribly busy working lol

[TcGameFace]

I'm not AWESOME with it, and not bad as well..

I'm between average and good with:
-piano
-drums
-guitar
-beatbox
-singing
-poppin' & lockin'

I'm a sucker for harmonizing with vocals though

[Raiyne]

I make noise with the guitar and shout until my voice gets sore.

Sort of picked up guitar on and off when I was 12. Only about 2 years ago did I started taking music seriously, learning theory, ear training etc. Still a pretty shit musician, though.

Mandarin has the most boring rhythm in the world, to me, especially because its mono-syllabic. Have you ever listen to Chinese people rapping? God, it's terrible!

I also hate the language, barely practised it after I left normal school.



Starts around 0:45. Uggghhhh. Every word is just so straight staccato.

As compared to Japanese:



Starts around 0:45.

It's like, Chinese is the wholetone scale and Japanese is Mixolydian.

[Oisterman]

In elementary school we were forced to pick band or chorus, so I signed up to play saxophone because I hated chorus.

Then I quickly figured out if I left my instrument at home, I couldn't go to practice or concerts.

[BadpcGuy]

Apparently on onrpg just being able to sing makes you talented going by that logical I'm a great singer.

[AioshiKoun]

Played the piano for about 18 years, with 12 years of formal training.

Big surprise, I'M ASIAN! Haha.

This but for 10 years then 4 years.

Also, bass guitar for 6 years.

[Norrin Radd]

I played most common instruments from ages eight to 23. I stopped just because I didn't want to do it anymore.

I've written my fair share of rhymes, and still do. Never performed them, though. I don't consider myself having the voice for it.

[Str1der]

Been involved in choirs since I was little. Growing up, I was in my church's kids choir as well as musicals. In high school I was in my school's state winning choir.. we won 21 years in a row. I was involved in the Boy's Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Mixed Ensemble, and Show Choir. I also did all of our school musicals, usually as lead vocals.

Fun times.

[Showy]

It's good to see quite a few people that play instruments!

My dad started playing guitar when he was about 16, listening to Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Maiden, etc.

So growing up I always heard him playing which in turn got my little brother into playing guitar.

Then my little bro then got a drum set, which turned out that he didn't like them so I picked them up.

Then after a year of drumming I picked up the guitar.

A year after guitar I picked up the piano as well.

So all in all I've been playing music for the past 8 years, singing my way through the whole time!

With the guitar I usually play folk and indie music on my acoustic and post-rock stuff I guess you could say on my electric.

Drumming I usually love rock, metal and "hardcore" music whatevas.

I absolutely LOVE playing classical on piano, especially the Final Fantasy piano collection.

When I'm not "playing" I dabble with producing electronic/house/trance/techno whatever-you-wanna-call-it music.

Music is muh backbone!


Keep up all your good work and efforts everyone!

[Starkler]

None, but I might be good at singing. I haven't seriously tried to sing before.

[TaikoxKashi]

Nice to see that the thread has created some cool vibes. Even if it IS in the lounge!

[Fersure]

My mother used to play the violin, she most likely passed her passion for music onto my brother & I.
My brother plays bagpipes, he has been since about grade 7.
I played the piano when I was around 6 years old, I gave up and picked up the guitar at about the age of 13. In Grade 9ish, I've decided to try and teach myself to sing. :]

[illgamez]

I've been singing in my school chorus and church choir as of late.

I could give you tips on how to sing better if you'd like :]

[Fersure]

That would be lovely! :]

I play a bit of piano, and I can only use FL studio when I have a synthesizer, or else I don't know what the **** I'm doing. I can only play/make music by slowly building it right away and then make something out of it. Can't read notes and haven't bothered yet
