If You Could Be Master of One Instrument...

If you could be absolutely world class, top of the heap at only one instrument...

(Assuming you aren't already!)

What instrument would you pick?

I guess I'd go with piano. (Which I can clunk out chords on, but that's about it).

 
When I saw the thread title I thought piano, then

I see Poe's post. Im with him, having a masterful

singing voice would definitely open a lot of doors

for me. Piano would be second.

While I'd love to master the piano, I'd go with guitar simply due to the portability factor.

 
Guitar (DUH!!!!). /emoticons/default_blink.png

It can be more expressive than voice or piano.

 
Being able to sing takes you anywhere you want to go. You can pick your band members. There is always work for a studio singer or backup singer. A great singer can go far. A vocal master does not even need other musicians to have fun.

 
Violin (5-string & electric included) and Uillean Irish Pipes.

I tried violin and was scared away from the Irish bagpipe by a friend who plays. I hate stringed instruments that I can't "figure out" in a few hours (I play mandolin fairly seriously, so violin fingerings were no problem but that DAMNED bow).

I'd like to say voice, but any attention I've ever gotten has been by singing "badly". Tom Waits, Screamin' Jay, Death Metal - that's not good voice work, it's emotion. So, I fear, if I sang well I'd suddenly be singing stuff I could care less about /emoticons/default_blink.png

For personal reward, classical guitar would be it, followed closely by cello.

If it were about success/recognition/money, I'd go with electric guitar. I want to play arenas and sleep on piles of money and cocaine with lots of chicks - then later clean up and enjoy my bazillionaire status and sell out to Guitar Hero and Gibson.

Veatch, I gotcha covered on Master of the Butt Trumpet. 3-tones 4-seconds. try THAT without a change of gear. My younger brother and I are both blessed with the same gift. Our duet of "America The Beautiful" is legendary.

However we do not feel we get the pub we deserve. Its unfair that our "airtime" is usually during a commercial right before Lee Greenwood sings at Indy or Daytona or The All Star Game. Maybe with Tiger out we can get a US Open gig. Even better, howz 'bout behind Faith Hill on the Sunday Night Football Opening?!

Please, no pyrotechnics within 50yds of the performance area.

LMAO

I've found that while the traditional burrito helps in the projection, shellfish tend to give me a more "woody" tone.
