There must be some musicians here. I figured out some Eminem song melodies for you to play on your pianos or horns or whatever. Hopefully at least someone appreciates it.
If someone wants a specific song figured out, I can do it by ear for you.

b = flat
No naturals are used, so if the same note follows its accidental, it's automatically natural.

Nothing, I'm sure.

I play guitar (learning) and I used to play saxophone. I plan on picking that back up this summer.

Props on this.

I might take you up on that. I'm getting better, but some days go slower than others.

That's how I learned them.

Why do you have to drop rapping to play an instrument? If you do both at once, you'll find your skills improving on both facets. It strengthens your sense of rhythm and melody in particular. Those are both applicable to rapping. Plus you could write your own beats.
Also, it's statistically proven that playing the guitar specifically can drastically strengthen your memory (because of memorizing finger positions on the already map-like neck).
That's how my memory is so lucid and photographic.

Indeed, no need to drop rapping for the instrument.

I do a little of both, despite the fact that I've stepped away from rapping. Nothing wrong with going both ways (no homo). Do the B.O.B. thing.

acoustic guitar is a good way to start, easier than the piano....

i play acoustic and learned a lot from reading tabs. once you get about 20 good songs down you start to see paterns. I do anyways.

rapping and playin guitar at the same time drastically improves both with time as well. props :y:

Hm
I actually wanted to post these as tabs but I figured other instrumentalists wouldn't know what the hell tablature even is.
Electric guitar is easier to play than acoustic actually, because the strings are softer and the frets are closer together.

yeah, your right. but an acoustic is more "mobile" and you dont need all the wires and shit to play. plus hardening up your finger tips and practicing on acoustic made it easier for me to play electric later on, also my chord progression was a lot smoother after learning on an acoustic first then switchin
