I use FruityLoops V.3.4, and I've been making music for about a month now. Some of it really is incredible, and I think it really helped that I have some musical knowledge, so that I know about the different notes, chords, and other such things. . . it also helps me get an ear for the music, to know what clicks to a listener, know what sounds good. Alot of you fellows make music, using various different programs, but do any of you know shit about writing actual music? |

i've played guitar for a few years now without any training whatsoever, and the only letdown is that i can't write down the things i invent when i'm jamming. that's what i like about fruity loops, you don't have to be able to read notes |

I've playing guitar for about 9 years sice I was 6. I play in 3 different bands. I've been singing for 5 years. I can drum and play piano and bass of course. And I also make electronic music. Answer to your question: YES I have musical knowledge, a lot of it actually |

i have played guitar for the past 19 years, played and sang in a band for the last eight of that, and just jammed heaps before that. over my lifetime i would have written 100's of songs. i have no formal training, but a good ear. for me, its all in the structure. i guess i have a good idea of how to piece something together. somehow now, i wish id'e stuck with piano as a kid, instead of moving into guitar. i meen i loved playing in bands and all, but i wish i could play piano better now that im making electronic stuff. thorpe |

what the hell? Everyone from the 60's and 70's was a self taught guitarist.. If you wanted guitar lessons during that time you had to scour as hard as possible and you'd end up with a classical acoustic guitar teacher that would criticize and ignore rock. So yeah, jimi was self taught, a lot of guitarists were.. I didn't know however that richard never took an instrument up..hmm..so he never even taught himself anything? Its all just natural and from his head without any structural learning or basis?! Wow, that's talent I must say. |

I was taught violin formally and I sang in a church choir. |

I'm *Still* self teaching myself.. I don't think you ever really stop but yeah.. That richard thing seems a little odd to me is all. I need vocal lessons just because... I need them. |

I played trombone from age 12 ~ 17, had a band director in High School who was a facist dictator....pissed me off, so I quit. Three years ago I bought a Roland XP-60, bought a book on harmony, looked a a couple of theory sites, and have taught myself a bit of piano, with enough theory to give a a general direction.... Most of my friends a good musicians...yet I'm making the most insane stuff musically out of all of them (not neccessarily 'good' just 'insane'). I feel sometimes that they're really imprisoned by the things they learned in music school..... I mean, I do chord progressions on a whim, cuz they sound good to me, yet they were always told that those progressions are 'wrong' or 'bad'......so I cherrish the freedom.... |

i have actually found that the more i learn about music the less intersting my tracks become: i have to spend a while unlearning stuff or else it becomes a bit too rigid. i like to play with my food before i eat it... |

Yeah I can write actual music on the drums, bass and guitar. I know a little piano, and can play those other three alright, especially the bass guitar. I took lessons about 7 years ago for the bass, but I had been playing even before that. |
