The Setup This thread is now the CHALLENGE thread. Are you man enough to take the man thread by the horns and wrestle it to the ground? I hope so, because this is no normal thread, my friends. Within these realms the barriers of space time and forum rules are changed and I AM KING. Well, I'm not really. BUT here is the question you need to ask yourself; As a member of Trials-Forum do I feel undervalued? If the answer is yes then welcome to your first job on the step to ETERNAL GLORY! Here are the rules; The Rules If you make a post in this thread saying the words, 'HELLO FRIENDS, I AM HERE FOR GLORY!', you will be entered into the challenge thread. This means that I will then offer you a choice of three challenges, you need to complete 1 of them and provide evidence within a specified time limit or; YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR 1 MONTH/10 DAYS DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF YOUR COUNTLESS FAILURES. If you pass the challenge what do you win? Well, nothing, but you get my respect (THE GREATEST GIFT ON EARTH) and the glory of being able to officially title yourself the most challenged person on TF. Here are some example challenges I made up for OBM (who coincidentally will be handing out your self-inflicted bans); Okay so if you are in you must be fully aware that if you fail you will be banned for a month or 10 days depending on how hard you fail. I will do my best to ensure that all challenges are possible and will be tailored to the challenge-e's location and my previous knowledge of them. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

If you live at home you don't need a loan to buy things you need to WORK. Why pay extra cash for no other reason than impatience. Are you 100% sure you will have your jobs in 24 months time? Thought not. If you are earning £500 a month and living at home and you need to buy a car you can save £450 a month for 3 months and then buy a car. Why are you locked in to buying your brothers car? WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

Unless you are 100% sure you can pay it back quickly and securely, which you probably aren't, getting a loan is a mad retarded idea (bolded and italic'd for posterity and FORCE). Do you live at home? What is your exact income/outgoing expenses each month?

Just got myself a new book on music theory. MUSICIAN HERE I COME.

PROTIP: ONE IS MORE RIGHT THAN THE OTHER.

Well basically what it boils down to is you either view music as; 1) A set of rules that is learnt 2) An innate concept that you are born with I personally think that understanding of music is an innate concept that because of THIS. So what it's basically saying is music theory is an interpretation of sounds that is a natural occurrence so really anybody with the physical ability to pick up and play an instrument is able to correctly play along to anything without ever even being introduced to the concept of musical theory given enough time to learn. I mean, while saying that music theory makes you better as a musician is correct, it's just a set of rules which will let you gain understanding of music at an instrumental level at a faster rate than you would naturally learn it. So given a certain mental aptitude/natural musical ability and time I think a person could easily learn to be crazy f**king good at playing any instrument without ever looking at a piece of sheet music or spending hours learning retarded pentatonics for a chord noone on earth will ever play.

Okay so on the same note I could simply lock anybody in a room with an instrument and with another undefined amount of time say they spent their time trying to recreate it they would eventually be able to play it exactly as it is played.

MUSIC IS ABOUT HOW HARD YOU WAIL YOUR SOLOS.

Maybe the next road of argument lies in the question of whether a fill in/session musician is actually a musician or is just a man who can read sheet music and play it at the same time.

So? I can hand you a tab and you wont be able to play it because you simply lack the physical ability? Doesn't mean you can't play music properly.

Mostly wrong. Think of the massive amount of musicians who can shred at their instruments without any advanced knowledge of musical theory (info garnered from interviews etc) example: The Fall of Troy, Periphery. There are probably loads of other examples on many other instruments but as I don't really know how well they know musical theory it is pretty much conjecture, so basically no you are wrong.
