1. What's up fellas? Went into the music store today because a friend and I were procastinating (the same friend who I'm writing the album with this summer) and we took to the drum kits. I managed to get the drum part for 40 down within 10 minutes And you KNOW I played that drum pattern over and over for about half an hour before we left.

    I rationaled that I'll probably learn the basics of drumming the same way I learned the basics of guitar playing, by learning U2's music. That's not to say that U2's stuff is easy to play or anything, or easy to get down, but I find it much easier to learn music that you love listening to rather than learning something being pushed down your throat by a music teacher.

    Believe me, no good.

    Agreed, one needs to mix one's muse with experience of the world outside to keep the inspiration healthy.

    BANG. Right there. How I fell back in love with music.
  4. Infinite agreement with that statement of yours, Alex.
  5. Glad to see you guys are in agreement! Yeah I didn't really get into just playing guitar until I started listening to U2 a ton and started learning it myself. I had taken guitar lessons earlier on, and hated them, and it made me hate guitar playing itself. But it wasn't until I decided I was going to learn the stuff I loved on my OWN terms that I started playing again. And of course that led to songwriting and everything else.

    I'm sure you guys have experienced a similar path!
