Should I attempt to learn the piano or the violin?
Which non-plebeian instrument attracts more bitches?
>>
>>28095719
Piano, because being able to play chords and melody at the same time is better.
>>
>>28095719
>Learning an instrument for women
>>
piano, you can trick the woman into sitting next to you as you play.
if you play the violin she cant be next to you you'll keep punching her with your elbow
>>
>>28095719
Piano is easier to start learning and when uncultured bitch ask you to play her favorite shitty song it will be better than violin
>>
>>28095719
Violin. Piano is too common and you can't take a piano with you. Violin makes for a surprise on a date.
>>
the violin is prettier

but a lot of places have pianos so you can just sit down and start playing to impress them, whereas you have to bring your violin along with you and it's less spontaneous
>>
>>28095719
Just buy a cheap acoustic guitar and learn some fucking open chords. Women don't care about fucking music at all.
I'm a jazz bassist but I only get bitches when I do my shitty Julian Casablancas impression with an acoustic guitar.
>>
>>28095857
>non-plebeian instrument
>>
if you're really doing it for women then guitar is always the best everyone knows that

If you're set on either piano or violin then go for the piano

>non-plebeian instrument

Pick one nigger. Jazz and Classical Contrabasso has netted me zero bitches.

pick one because all women are plebs
>>

If your main goal is to attract bitches, don't bother. You're just going to water down what it means to be a musician.

>>28095899
Well, yeah. Talent at music is like cheese on a sandwich. Would your rather bite into a hunk of cheese (actually I like cheese so I kind of do) or a whole sandwich with all different kinds of ingredients.
>>
>>28096230
Is she 50 years old?
>>
>>28096173
Maybe he wants a relationship with no strings attached.

>>Real men date cellos anyway
>>
>>28096246
I think she's in her late twenties.
But yeah, she looks old for her age.
>>
>>28096276
8/10 you deserve your you

Also Cello is for pussies who can't handle that Bass.

instruments don't attract bitches, bitches don't care about instruments, bitches care only about chads that play instruments
>>

>actually want to be violinfag

the suffering.
>>
>>28096441
Then just learn violin you faggot
>>
>>28096215
Fucking this.
You wont get bitches for playing an instrument that's a myth. If you want to play a patrician instrument play the cello.

The idea of fretless neck horrifies me.
Perfect pitch seems like a requirement.

Some teachers put dots on the fingerboard until you get used to the position of your fingers, and you can always put frets in you want to.

This said, there are teachers that are against frets or dots. You will use more your eyes than your ears.
>>
>>28096231
Music is cheese of the gods faggot
>>
>>28096668

That looks so wrong for some reason.
>>
Has anybody learned to play piano by themselves using the internet? If yes, please share your study materials
>>
>>28097214
It looks ugly indeed.
I don't think I'd be able to play comfortably with the frets there.
>>
Any links for learning piano? I literally have zero idea where to start with learning an instrument. I'm starting from nothing,.
>>
>>28097506
I suppose it'd be possible go through etudes and the suzuki books alone, but you're not going to get very far without a teacher. Classical instrument have a very refined technique that you need to learn from the start to avoid picking up bad habits.

If you want to be self-taught just pick a guitar...
>>
The only issue with the piano is that you can't play in orchestras or things like that.
The main difference between violin and piano is solo vs group as it is harder to find someone else to play with you with the piano.
>>
>>28095719

music featuring actual instruments (including guitar) has almost gone extinct in terms of popularity (i.e. capacity to "score you bitches"), and is mainly used to showcase individual talent on YouTube.

To get bitches nowadays, you need to get into the EDC/DJ type bullshit, but then...

you shouldn't be learning an instrument to get bitches - ESPECIALLY a classy instrument like violin or piano. The type of woman who you could pick up by learning those instruments is the type that would like you anyways if you were nice, intelligent, and well-rounded: a good woman.

So, in other words, learn an instrument for YOU, and if YOU are a good guy, the right woman will be interested regardless. Learn stupid DJ bullshit for whores.

Also, the most fun instruments are the ones that most likely repel women the strongest, such as Banjo.
>>
>>28096438

this; but "bitches" also respond strongly to demonstrable skills in anything that is clearly a fad (or has a pathway to fame/money/lifestyle), so doing the electronica DJ stuff might work (at least for the next few years before it goes the way of Disco)

Ten Piano Lesson by Alison.
I used her lessons when I started violin, I plan to use them after I get myself a piano.

This, if you want to make music or art do it for yourself, doing it to please others is retarded
>>
Both are such soulless instruments
>>
Anyone have any tips on learning to play guitar if my interest is in actually learning to play proper music?

I don't want to learn chords or tabs and play faggy alt rock songs. I want to play classical guitar and shit, actually learn and read music. Ultimately I'd like the guitar to be a gateway to other instruments, or to appreciation of music theory and stuff.

But it's hard to search for, because everything assumes you want to be able to start playing simple songs immediately, or that your greatest aspiration is to sing Beatles songs badly.

are you high?

If he was high he wouldn't think the violin lacked soul.

>>28097506
I've been using alfreds all in one adult course book, I think it's quite popular. I just found a pdf of it online. It teaches theory and reading music and such too if you don't know that. If you do then just skip those pages. I am getting towards the end of book after a few months and getting bored of the songs on here so I'm looking up sheet music for beginner classical songs instead and learning those.
>>
>>28098203
>get a teacher
twenny bucks per hour if you lucky
>get Rocksmith 2014
fiddy bucks all the songs you want, technique you have to teach yourself.
>>
>>28098551
>twenny bucks per hour if you lucky
Why are those fuckers so expensive?
Recenty I saw a few that charged 50 bucks a half-hour lesson.
>>
>>28097693
>such as Banjo
>>
>>28097644
There are pianos in orchestras, but since there is usually one one or two per orchestra is way harder to get in.
>>
>>28096521
its easier than it looks
>>
Pianist here. Woman are impressed by piano because of "muh fingers ;)" but the most efficient thing to do is forget the non-plebian instruments and learn guitar. Form a band, hell, play Wonderwall at a house party and the bishes will eat it up
