lol whered you get that info? the salesman in bentley damansara told me the same thing i thought he was bullshytting haha

One is never enough!

I think it's kinda reasonable for TS to have 4 guitars especially when they're all different types.(Except for the 2 acoustics). Versatility mah.

cos i met one datuk like that about 7-8yrs ago
there are a few more just like him out there, u be surprised.

When i pay my friend's house

His parents yelling at his little brother : You didn't practice your piano again!! now go practise!!

now TS's parents: You are playing your guitar again!!! now stop practising.

It's pity that nowadays people always do things they dont like..

I wasn't very happy before when i said i wanna play keyboard and ask them to buy me one. I said i wanted the model which cost RM7k+ but they only agree on buy me a second hand unit of RM2000.

Well know i should glad that at least they are supporting me, dispite i am not taking any lesson and playing the same few song i know everynight before i sleep, felt more relax lol.. tho my playing sucks

i totally feel that pain =(

in parents eyes guitar is for bad guys but piano is good..lol

@TS

REBEL A BIT LAH!!!
say to them you're an adult now (are you?) you can do what u want.
what's wrong with playing music anyhow.
it's for creativity to.

ok first of all, if someone broke my guitar in front of me, my fist will meet his jaw in less than 2 seconds. and if your parents threaten to disown you, run away. most of the time they'll want you back and even reward you out of guilt. but you have to be prepared yourself, whether you want to take the slim risk or not

Wah, teaching TS to run away because of this? In my opinion, parents are still parents no matter what. There is surely a reason why they do not like u playing guitars. Try to talk to them, nego, and set up an agreement. Until now u didnt not reveal the reasons behind all this objection? They afraid u might neglecting ur studies or they have some kind of bad impression of guitars? Try talking to them in a calm and chill situation..just my suggestion tho

You wildchild! Bad! Bad! What if his father gives him a triple six pounder then?!

TS still hasn't come back on whether it was affecting his studies? Seriously, if you're grades are dropping coz you've been thwacking the olde 6-string, it's understandable if mom-and-pop open a can of whoop@ss on you...

But if that's not the case, stick it to man! \m/

Haha, in parents point of view la. So now I want a new electric (my first) they said they will only talk about it next year, and I'll have to start saving....

Yeah, I felt the pain of the "go practice piano" phrase. I used to learn piano, and no offense but I find the classical pieces to be not my kinda style. So naturally, I tend to hate practicing. But then after I stopped a few years ago, I started playing pop songs ie. Avril and Linkin Park, and they've stopped bugging me about it XD So, like I said, piano is somehow associated with good and rich, while guitar...err you can draw your own conclusions. Disappointing right?

if u sell off ur 450d...u will definitely get enough to buy a pretty decent guitar

i feel sorry for u TS, i cant believe this kinda stuff still happen, remind me a lil bit one of Allahyarham P.Ramlee's movie

anyway, what's the main reason they want u to get rid of ur instrument? if because they're too loud for em, maybe u should think of getting a headphone.

otherwise, maybe its time for u to get ur own space

tats madness..
do they knw wats a life??

Hmm, isnt music about hobby, self expression and love ?

I dont get why some parents do not encourage that... It's better than going out every night.. have drinks, come home drunk... etc etc... Or even worse, take drugs and stuff.

I guess i'm lucky that my parents encouraged me in music last time.

I guess they are happy that i'm making an income out of it now.

So i can buy as many instruments as i want...

TS did state he has classical guitar right, i guess it's not whether the problem of instrument's image, it's happens more frequent if your parents were salary earner or even hardworking self employed. They do realised money is hard to come by if you dont have a main stream degree such as medicine, engineering etc... Most parents give their children music education for the sake of sending them, not for them to get good or what ever, mostly because their neighbour or relative went also to prevent from getting "outdated".

You cant blame them for being afraid that you might step into the music carrier because it's really not an easy path. The worst is the image of metal music with image which i think MOST parents cannot even accept it, often associate with electrical instrument.

Well, the "go practise piano" phrase, my friend told me he will be locked in a room with his piano an hour everyday when he was small, his teacher use a ruler to knock his knuckle when he played a wrong note, he hated the piano so much that he find every excuse to stop learning it, apparently he stopped before SPM and never continued. However what his parents never realised is that the piano in the room is an electric one, he just play once and record it, play it over and over for an hour, some recording even contains wrong note lol, repeating same wrong note for an hour xD

Why TS dont state properly what's his intention of leearning guitar, for musical carrier or just as a hobby. I hardly think of any parents which would prohibit his children from having a music hobby, rather than gaming addicts, alcoholic or what ever..
