I've never mastered anything when it comes to music.
 
Hahahahh maybe we would have like 1 or 2 people on the whole forum who couldn't join that group :lol:
 
I used to be pretty good with the saxophone and I dabbled a bit with playing guitar but nothing serious.

In my elementary school is was normal to learn an instrument for some reason, so yeah that's when I started learning the saxophone. Guitar was more my own project, but in the end I could just play a couple of well known songs to impress girls. xD
 
Guitar, Bass, little bit of Banjo and Drum - Shaman/Bongos
 
Nope. Unfortunately find it very difficult to play these days.
 
I'd love to be able to play and create music. Guitar, bass, drums and keyboards/synths/programming would be the ones I'd want to learn the most. Also being able to produce and DJ.
 
I used to play trumpet in the school band.

The last time I checked, I can still play several bugle calls to where you can recognize them.

One Time, several years ago, I got to play Taps at a funeral. I still remember the effect that song had on several of the veterans in the group of mourners around the grave.

That is something I will never forget.

And if any Off Topix member does not understand the significance of a simple melody of two dozen notes, they should be ashamed of state of their education.

and I mean that.

I am ashamed of my education, doc. :run:

Nonetheless. I am ashamed for you.

24 Notes That Tap Deep Emotions
Jari A. Villanueva

Of all the military bugle calls, none is so easily recognized or more apt to render emotion than the call Taps. The melody is both eloquent and haunting and the history of its origin is interesting and somewhat clouded in controversy. In the British Army, a similar call known as Last Post has been sounded over soldiers' graves since 1885, but the use of Taps is unique with the United States military, since the call is sounded at funerals, wreath-laying and memorial services.

Taps began as a revision to the signal for Extinguish Lights (Lights Out) at the end of the day. Up until the Civil War, the infantry call for Extinguish Lights was the one set down in Silas Casey's (1801-1882) Tactics, which had been borrowed from the French. The music for Taps was adapted by Union General Daniel Butterfield for his brigade (Third Brigade, First Division, Fifth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac) in July, 1862.
