Ok can you give me some good links.I know you cannot learn everything from youtube but i just want to be a music literate.I mean i should be able to read abcd and construct a sentence of my own means make some original tunes of my own.
For a start a harmonica will do.
btw anybody plays bagpipe i love that instrument too.
I think you are talking about composition and arrangement.
You need some solid music theory knowledge and either some playing ability (cheap keyboard) or super-duper visualizing-the-music-in-your-head skill to be able to "compose". It will take time unless you are Beethoven/Mozart/Chopin etc!
Read some music theory book, if you don't have any specific instrument choice (you want to be more of a composer than a musician), then buy a cheap keyboard so that you can "hear" what you will be reading. (or else it will just be like reading gibberish)
Another important skill you would need is transcribing - the more you can transcribe accurately, the better ( or at least, the less worse) will be your compositions! Again, this will not come in a day/week/month/year.
Keep doing it and it will happen. Youtube will teach you instrument-playing; for "music literacy", join some music/instrument forums and read up on their music theory or composition threads. One very good place to go would be UG's forums.
Forum member Ghormanas plays bagpipes! Or was he learning? Dont remember exactly...
So I tuned my guitar using DaTuner. E2 starts from thick wire ?
Time to watch some guitar tutorial vids from L&M.
You following Steve Krenz stuff by any chance? If so, initial parts (absolute basics) are ok, later parts are crap! Later parts are more like mugging up the equation without knowing the formula.
The more you advance, try to read some theory and relate your playing stuff with that theory -- of course, this does not apply if you are just "guitar"-ing to impress the fairer sex!
