I weep when I think of how bad my chops are. I actually played the other day. Found my horn when I was looking for... uh... something in a random closet.
It made me sad.

You get the point.
No, not really. . .You refuted my video, not my words. It would be impossible to beat you with videos because there will always be clips of guitarists pretending to be piano players, usually in a rock style, around. Also, note the lack of bass parts in either of those videos, the lack of the big chord part at the beginning (you know, where they use ten fingers), and the fact that neither of them went into the whole "Fugue" part of "Toccata and Fugue" which is the tough stuff later one. (My second video had it.)
The inside of a piano is basically a giant guitar, you know. . .

Ska bands are hard to start, and my chops are out of shape =(
Let's start a band over vent anyway.

Playing a bone into a mic over vent would be... messy.

I do have one actually. Worked pretty well. Needs batteries, but it's still good. I probably need to take out the old batteries if I haven't already
=X
But I don't want to start a ska band over vent =(

I'd play tenor sax in this said ska band if I remembered how to play, and if I had enough money for reeds...which I dont.

Pfft... all trumpet players think they're good.
If Kami lets me jack his Silent Brass, I would totally be willing to try to get that thing to work over vent.

You can try a straight mute in the mean time. If you don't hook up the mic/headphones part it sounds a lot like that. I put the thing in the youngest brother's room, so he could use it. He hasn't tried it out yet and hasn't played his horn in I don't know how long.
Marching band camp is going to kick his ass and he won't listen to my advice. =( Sucks for him.
Or play bone from across the room with the speakers turned up.

With that additude, yeah it will. . .I got mine in a few weeks.
Yeah I was going to play facing away from the mic. . .I play kind of. . .loud. . .
But yeah, I like playing high. . .Streetlight does a lot of that. My range is about to a C. . .(Above the one above the bar)

I forget where my range on bone topped out (low and high) I can still hit a pedal Bb no prob, maybe get down to a G ? I can't remember. The highest note I ever hit was whatever note Dan from Reel Big Fish plays as the last note in the She has a girlfriend now solo.
So like an C I think? Way up there C? Past the high Bb...I don't remember
I don't think I can hit it anymore =(

I don't know trombone range all that well. . .I do, however, have guitar pro which gives the horn parts in their tabs. . .I'll check it out.

You would put that in for me, wouldn't you.
I used to rock the low range of the bone. Pretty hard. I topped out around Bb or C. At one point I could hit Bb on a bass trombone. No simple feat, I assure you.
Playing away from my mic would definitely not work for me. As Kami can attest to, playing subdued is not my forte.

I play trombone.
Anyway, all I can say is, Pink Floyd uses organ, keyboard, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, all manners of things attributed to synth rock, and are in my eyes the best rock band I've ever heard/seen.
On another note, Roger Waters, ex-bass guitarist of Pink Floyd, has a pretty nice beer can solo whilst Clapton's playing guitar in a YouTube video.
He just like, gets on stage slightly drunk, and you see this guy hand him a tambourine. And Roger tosses it to the side and takes the guy's beer and starts hitting it with a drumstick.

Bojack, stop talking about things you REALLY don't know about.
When you posted all of those youtube videos, I was talking to Pigero. All the music you guys bring up with lots of notes and shit and hard rock that is listened to, does not show emotion. I did not say the things you posted didn't, they have emotion, yes, but you guys make it seem like you are thinking of sweet soloing like Van Halen. That does NOT have emotion.
