Boogie rock?

As an alto player I'm seconding this 'non-jazz sax sounds sort of ridiculous' thing. EXCEPT in "Sex Bomb" by Flipper. That is some perfect saxophone.

Despite your lack of wind instrument knowledge, brass instruments are pretty straightforward once you learn the basics and develop correct habits. I would suggest French horn because that has the coolest brass sound, but it takes a whole lot of competence to make it sound right. So learn trumpet first I guess?

J-cob9000:
Not to derail your topic but seeing as I have a music learning question, I think I might just do that.

I'm in no way musical. As far as I know. I might be with some learning. My question, though, is the following: Guitar or Piano? I would like to learn both and possibly more but which do I start with?

sean:
Guitar would be fun stuffs but a Piano would give you a great musical foundation.

squawk:
Yeah, if you start with piano then the knowledge you gain from that will help tremendously with learning any other instrument.
