whats the hardest instrument to learn?
viola or bass
oboe or bassoon. I would say cor d'anglais, but it's the oboe with an easier embouchure
>>60775797
ukulele
hardest part is telling your parents you're gay

uke is cool man. I have a dream to write songs that don't use it in a cutesy commercial indie way and instead use it as a dream like instrument bc it's so fucking strangely tuned and you can get some sweet drones out of it.
oh well.
>>60775797
to learn probably some double reed shit
to master, any form of synthesis (particularly fm synthesis)
>>60775881
uke is also the japanese word for gay sub so there's that
>>60775797
The Clarinet
Probably the sitar
>>60775797
Theremin and how to properly manipulate tape loops.
Accordion or sax. Learning and mastering are two different things, though
Hardest instrument by far is the Uilleann pipes. I just cannot comprehend how unbelievably difficult they must be to play.
I think the most difficult common instrument is the french horn since it is so easy to slip notes and just generally fuck up.
>>60776717
how do u tape loop?
like how do I do it?
>>60775833
but so much of the tone for those instruments is just how good of a reed youre using. the best oboe players ive known spent more time making reeds than practicing

Electric guitar is the easiest instrument to play and master

>WTF?????
The answer to your question ("WTF????") is:
Electric Guitar
>>60777519
Oh I guess that's why they call it tape music

oboe is the hardest hands down
i swear to god if i didn't see people play guitar with my own eyes i wouldn't believe it could be done
Well in my experience people are always down to learn guitar if I can yeah then anything, but I've only ever met one person who even wanted to let me teach them something on my drum set. It seems like people just THINK that playing the drums is really hard
>>60775797
diamond is the hardest instrument t︂b︂︂h f︂︂a︂m
probably an erhu or something
>>60777558
It's easy, but also a funny-ass instrument to play desu senpai.
>>60775833
only good answer so far
niggas have died b4 playin the oboe
>>60777278
f horn aint that hard, its jsut that bad/out shined trumpet players usually switch to it
>>60775797
No instrument is hard, it's just practise.
People who say learning an instrument is hard as the ones that gave up within a few days because they didn't get good instantly and didn't practise.
>>60778644
that's why it's hard you enormous cock. putting a lot of time into something you'll suck at for a while is hard, that's why people say it's hard.
If you can already play music the accordion is really tough because the timing on working the bellows goes against all of your musical instincts. This is why accordion is usually taught at an early age and it's rare for a really skilled accordion player to play anything else other than piano.
As far as most difficult instrument to play with a high level of skill, probably the harp.
Obviously fucking Organ.
>>60775797
Putting my vote in for the piano. I wouldn't call it "beginner-friendly".
Also OP, yes guitar is easy to learn, but it's nearly impossible to master. I've been playing for almost 10 years and still find myself finding new and incredible playstyles.
I mean look at this shit

MOTHERFUCKING FRENCH HORN
thing has valves and its still fucking impossible to get the notes you want out of it
and then dont even mention the solo rep
>>60778763
albini is better imho
>>60778763
True. Anyone can learn basic chords and basic scales on a guitar, but the skill ceiling is continually raised and new styles are invented, so complete mastery is nearly impossible.

Every man and his dog claims he plays guitar but 95% of them are shit.

Mastering synthesis is not as difficult as becoming a classically trained musician.

>Anyone can learn basic chords and basic scales on a guitar,
However most people couldn't even play a simple lullaby on a Theremin.
>>60775918
fm synthesis is crazy m8
I'm debating learning guitar, bass, or piano. Which one should i choose?
>>60778874
yeah, there's a difference between being able bang out 'under the bridge' and being able to play guitar.
>>60779718
You could teach urself to be fairly proficient at guitar if you do boring shit like scales.
>>60779718
I play guitar but I've heard piano's a pretty good base to start from if you want to learn theory.
Just choose whatever is most used in the music you like, no point teaching yourself piano if you want to make stoner rock.
>>60779862
did you teach yourself
>>60779862
This. I love playing folk music and acoustic indie and music of that nature so I've learned chords and riffs on guitar. I like dabbling on different instruments so I can peck on a piano and keep a beat on drums but they're not too relevant to what I like to play so I don't pour myself into them
>>60776638
This and Tabla
life
>>60779862
This implies that piano couldn't be used for something like stoner rock. Organs and other keyed instruments are a huge part of the sound of a large portion of rock groups, especially from the 60's to the 90's. The Hammond is iconic in developing a lot of different grooves. The clank and pop to the easy groan all the way out to the rattling grind; all these and more await.
I wouldn't box any instrument in or out of any genre. That's what's beautiful about really learning how to play an instrument. Manipulating the output until its what YOU want to hear. You're never locked in to any position with any instrument. Hell, Frank Zappa's bass clarinetist used to rip and wail like he was playing a tenor sax, but with a tone all his own. Just own what you're playing.
Alas, I digress. If you were to ask me, I would say that piano is the most visually stimulating therefore the easiest to learn, guitar is the most well formed scalularly. Both bass guitar and traditional have their quirks, so that's just musical preference.
As far as difficulty goes, maybe an instrument with a particular skill set that is only heavily related to that instrument, like didgeridoo, or theremin. I've not played them all, but the most difficult for me to learn (being a tuba player, I didn't have much trouble with didgeridoo, even though circular breathing is a bitch) was probably either bassoon, or french horn. That embouchure is a fucking nightmare.
is the violin easy to play? or are you guys just neglecting it because its not as difficult as other instruments. it always struck as easy to learn hard to master, how true is that?
>>60779718
I recommend the guitar. It's a great instrument to start with.
Very accessible, so you'll be able to play basic stuff that people recognize in a short time-span.
Despite being accessible, it has an unreachable skill ceiling, with new styles and techniques invented continuously. You'll never run dry of new things to learn.
It's incredibly versatile, and there are few limits to what kind of music you create with it.
