What do you think/know is the easiest rock instrument (Electric guitar, bass guitar, drums)?
Label them 1 for easiest to 3 for hardest. The reason I'm asking you to do this is because eventually I want to pick up another instrument so I want to know where I lay on this list and what I should pick up.
Drums are easiest by a long way.
Sweet I might pick them up then! But could someone tell me which the hardest is as well?
Electric guitar is quite tough.
Cool I play the electric guitar. Maybe I can learn drums too I guess. My inspiration is my middle schools music teacher. He could pick up any instrument and play it like a pro.
It helps if you can play a variety of instruments, so learning the drums is probably the best way to go, since the transition from electric to acoustic or bass isn't that big. Be warned though, drums are very expensive.
depends on what you do with it. it's pretty easy to play bass if all you play is half note bass lines, but if you want to tear it up it will take considerably more work. same thing with guitar, drums, etc.
If all I use are practice pads untill school starts and we can use the studio will I be able to learn properly? (I mean next summer)
Guitar = Hard to learn, easy to master
FishmanFishman = Easy to learn, Hard to master
Fishman = What the arse is a fishman?
Drums = A :bou::bou::bou::bou: if you have no rhythm and if you have a hard time using all for limbs at once doing different jobs.
Edit number 2: what the crap is the deal with this censor, man. ;__;
A prime example of short-term memory loss at work. :DQuote:

I'd say...
Bass - Easy to pick up on, but issues with fingertips hurting
Drums - If you have sense of rhythm, a doddle to pick up on. Difficult if you don't
Guitar - Challenging to pick up on due to smaller frets, and issues with fingertips hurting and suppressing unwanted excess noise (provided you're playing rock)
Any instrument short of the triangle is a challenge to master, so I thought it was kinda pointless putting whether they were hard to master or not.

backed up by lungs
tight pants is an optional (getting more popular in high school)
Bass is by far the easiest to learn. People who fail at playing guitar tend to pick this up and do considerably better with it, this I have seen. Like any instrument you have to work your balls off to get really good at it, but if you've got big hands it's not bad.
Personally I'm happy playing guitar. It took a lot of work to get to shredding level and I don't know if I can be bothered getting that far with anything else.
no instument is easy unless you're very very talented with it and... I guess you would say born with it. Anyone can learn a few songs on any of those intruments, but actually being able to play takes years.
Try listening to Maxell Murders by Rancid. Then ask yourself if bass is easy.
