Any Tough Guy around here play the piano?

I've always wanted to play...but I've never taken lessons. I was thinking of buying a keyboard and learning that way. I don't think I want to pay for lessons right now...because I don't know if I'll like it enough to want lessons.

Anyways, what's the best way to go if let's say I want to play like Fryderyk Chopin?

I had actually started learning to play last year. Was working on it pretty good for about 3 months but it ended up taking a back seat to other priorities like drinking, footaball, pr0n and teh internets. Now that it's the offseason I'll probably pick it back up.

I can play the theme song from Star Wars and Livin La Vida Loca. Fear me.

Nope. I played the tenor sax for years.

Stick to the skin flute Chuggie.

Musical training has been tied to an increase in children's ability to learn, understand and excel in math. Plus its farging music. It makes the world more bearable. I will never understand how musical aptitude ever became synonymous with being some sort of sissified girliman.

Having said that I reserve the right to make fun of any of you for any musical talents you may possess.

I used to play the alto sax in grades 4-7...I learned how to mix (a little) in highschool....and I've had an itch for the piano, guitar and violin...ever since.

Yes and I'm going to use it to lure lovely latina honeys into my bedroom. If you're nice, I'll let you watch them leave.

You're such a swell guy, Sergeant Ricky.

Sgt PSN · February 09, 2007, 09:18:03 PM

That's Sergeanto Ricardo to you.

Senor! Si, senor!

Nope.

I just inherited my mom's keyboard (my dad had it in his house after she passed). It's pretty cool, and I'd love to learn how to play it well. I only know a few things from reading self-teaching books a long, long time ago.

Diomedes · February 09, 2007, 10:24:08 PM

Dude your mom died. That sucks. I'm sorry.

Feva · February 09, 2007, 10:30:51 PM

I had a keyboard when I was little and learned to play it pretty good. I can still play a little bit... and by little bit, I mean I can play that song Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia played in
"Big".

... and don't make me bust out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on dat ass.
