surely some of us can play some REAL instruments
I was thinking this thread could maybe, be a good place to ask for advice, give advice, and link to useful stuff for learning to play some instruments
when I say "instruments" I mean something that needs timing and/or melodic talent, I'm thinking guitars, piano, turntables, bongo's and things like live sampler/drum machine playing etc..
let me know what instruments you play, I play guitar, turntables, and an old drum machine.
I'll start with some youtube links
drum machines/mpc's
lakinilk does mpc solo then breaks it down da vinci doing mpc guitar solo
guitars
guitar lessons with IRON MAIDEN! tapping lesson w/ Paul Gilbert
turntablism
scratching 101 dj fooders beat juggling tutorial
c'mon guys SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

nice!
I've got a modified electric with inidividual pickup switches so I can do the tom morello guitar scratching thing, and I've broken the two highest string, so I'm trying out standard cello/violin tuning, it's a lot of fun,.. and judging the note intervals seem easier when it's set like this too.

at a place called the glitch bar with the "8-bit" crew in melbourne australia late last year, and yeah I played on my own, but I'm thinking of starting a group so that more of the music can be live, as opposed to me just playing over stuff.

Well, I have a Roland HP HP 137, which has MIDI compatibility, so I guess I could hook it up to the laptop -- Is there a way to transfer the actual sound of the piano? Or would I have to assign some crappy MIDI patch to it? I'm not clued up on MIDI at all.

Excuse the late reply - you'd have to record the MIDI from your keys into ableton or cubase or something. Then send it out from the PC back into the keys, and then audio record the line out. That said, you could just record live directly from the line out - if you're without a decent soundcard just go into the PC's line-in or even mic slot.

Yeah, I'm going to investigate that. I have both Ableton & Adobe Audition. I've settled on a nice easy piece for starters, a slow movement in F major from a Mozart Piano Sonata :) It's a lovely piece! Would the quality of a line-out from my Roland to my laptop sound OK? I mean, the quality wouldn't be terrible or anything? And I wouldn't need a special audio lead or anything? Think I'll pop down to PC World or Dixon's tomorrow, in that case, and see about picking one up!

Get the gain right and I'm sure it will be fine. It's not the "be all and end all" anyway. I've found it's always a healthy thing to hear your performance, as you sit back in your chair with with the piano switched off.
If you find that you need to re-record a higher quality take, then get the gear (buy/loan/whatever) and lay it down again.
Hope that made sense - I'm tired x_x

I play a little piano. Here are some recordings of me playing my own compositions:
nov_13_2005.mp3
nov_7_2005.mp3
nov_26_2005.mp3
dec_6_2005.mp3
This thead makes me kind of sad, because late in 2005 I was playing piano and writing a song every day. I haven't touched my piano in nearly a year. :(
