GuitarMany guitarists are self-taught. They can work their way around a few chords and a little bit of strumming. But did you know you can master complex melody lines as well as providing a rhythmic contribution to your work? Many classical guitarists are taught this skill from their first lesson. There are so many genres of music that the guitar is suited to as well. Plug it in or enjoy an intimate session on the acoustic.
SaxophoneAs the staple of much jazz music, the saxophone looks good and sounds incredible. It is a reed woodwind instrument. This means it takes a little bit of work to get the tone to come out right. They come in several sizes as well, but most people stick to just one. If you’ve ever played clarinet, you’re not likely to encounter too many problems getting started with a saxophone. This is one of the best instruments to learn to improvise music on too.
CelloDon’t you just love those big ballads that draw on the orchestral strings to highlight the passion? String instruments like the cello have been around for hundreds of years because of their power to bring emotion into a song. If you write lyrics about heartache or romance, why not have a go at learning the cello. This provides a deeper, bluer tone than the higher pitched violin. It is also much easier to handle. You might see them played by internationally popular 2Cellos, the Croatian cello male duo.
DrumsMost of us have had a go at creating our percussion tracks using the keyboard or a mini drum machine. But have you ever tried the real thing? It can be a helluva workout! Your neighbours might not always thank you though.
The best thing about understanding how to play an instrument is being able to create more realistic instrument tracks in your music. MIDI just doesn’t always pick up the little nuances of the real thing. Give your audience the wow factor by playing an instrument at your next gig.
