Phait Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 you play an instrument that you don't have alot of experience with, you can't read notation for it, but you can play something rather nicely on it after a few moments with it? I played more on a Yamaha S90 and something else at the store today, on the grand piano patch, and.. my best friend said I was pretty good. Is this "potential"? I don't consider it talent.. I know if I was given an instrument for a few days I could write something decent/good (imo and maybe a few others) with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelonius Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Well seeing as this is the Denver,CO thread, I'd thought I'd add my $.02 Yes, it is called "hacking". Shawn www.colonelburns.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I started out as a hack guitarist and hack keyboardist rolled into one. I eventually become a good enough hack to make money by teaching other people, hacking live, and recording my hacking, so it all worked out for me.

Botch. Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I believe the sitar part in the Stones' "Paint it Black" was a hacked part, Brian Jones had never touched one before that day... Interesting topic, as I started playing a sax in April and I'm starting to price wireless mics.... I'm certainly not good yet but its just about to the point where it sounds better than my sax synth patches, and that's what its all about...

iMember Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I never hackplay, I usually spam with my keyboards (playing unbelivable many tones at a time, hoping a few of them will turn out fine. Think before you think before you speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDM Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I have been a hack for over 25 years on the keys. I can't really read music (well I could but only very slowly & it would take a long time). I am very much self taught. I did take private lessons for years on trumpet but I started playing piano on my own when I was about 10 or so. Depending on what you are trying to do with your music having a classical or rigidly structured training background may not be of the utmost necessary but in the end I think it would be more useful than not. Do what you can with what you have is my motto. - DJDM DJDM.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'm the king of all hacks! I can program, sample, chop, slice, dice and even julliene all day, but ask me to play a blues scale in Cm and my eyes will glaze over and I may even begin to drool... That said, anyone have some cool practice ideas that may get my head going in a more "legit" direction (I can read music - slowly - and have a decent grasp of theory)? recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
