I Hate Percussion!

Is that Percussion as in the whole Orchestral definition including drums. Or just the extra bits in pop bands (especially latin) not including drum kits. If the first a little harsh in my opinion. If the later I whole hartedly agree. Excepting the cow bell of course. Who can have it in for the inocent cow bell:rolleyes:

cheers

without percussion, there is no beat
without bass there is no groove
without a singer, there is no melody

and without a guitar player............then there is no point

honestly, percussion comes in many forms, from a chord to a hand slap on the acoustic, to full drums

what part dont you like

What did percussion ever do to you??


I'm assuming you're just frustrated with Lesson 5 on "Adding Some Percussion"?

If so, just skip it.

Yes. I didn't explain myself very well, did I? I'm going to get it. It is just taking a lot longer than I had anticipated. How can something so seemingly easy be so difficult? I have spent weeks on 5-3 slow version. I just moved to the full speed version. Hopefully just a couple more weeks in Lesson 5 and on to 6!

Well, the Allman Brothers we're a great band from the beginning.

But when they added Nathan Quinones and all of his percussive toys, that's when they became an awesome band.

And here we are Ron, 7 years into guitar after purchasing Gibson’s Learn and Master Guitar, and where is the master part? We’ve sure been handed a bushel of the learn :LOL:

You’ll get there. When a lesson frustrates me I always remind myself that I got through session 4 of L&M so this too shall pass.

Oh thanks for reminding me how little progress I've made in 7 years Eric!;):eek:

But I appreciate your point! Lesson 5 SARM is, in many ways, like L&MG 4 (in terms of challenge). This too shall pass.
