Talent You Wish You Had Options

[karmakiller]

Pretty much and impossible thing to search.

So, what talent would you like to have?


I think it'd be cool to be a contortionist.

[livwho]

I'd like to have some sweet drawing skillz.
It's the area of art I'm lacking.

Oh, I'd also like to sing.

[breakingdawn]

I wish I was good at sports. And that I could draw.

[1angel3]

I wish I could sing

[LoveToMySilas]

I wish I could dance and skateboard. It would help me get around so much easier.

[Detective]

I'd like to have the talent to do a backflip. That would look pretty good for me to do after a shot at a lacrosse game.

[libertie]

Perfect pitch! Seriously. There are people who, if you play an F, they just know exactly what note you're playing and whether it's in tune or not. It's amazing.

...someday. >.<

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

I have a friend with perfect pitch. It's pretty impressive. And my high school band director said he had about as close to perfect pitch as you can get without being born with it.


Photographic memory is sounding really nice right about now.

[*jeanna*]

no gag reflex

[shadowfax]

Photographic memory is sounding really nice right about now.

It's not so much a talent but I'm going to name this too. When I was younger, I listened to a subliminal hypnosis MP3 for photographic memory. I was too frustrated to listen to it more than 3 times. XD

[Bonobo]

I would love to be able to sing and play guitar.

It'd bring in the girls faster than anything.

[karmakiller]

^ Psh, I have no music talent. Maybe I should go take lessons. Ya never know, might have a talent that needs some help to come out, lol.

Perfect pitch! Seriously. There are people who, if you play an F, they just know exactly what note you're playing and whether it's in tune or not. It's amazing.

...someday. >.<

Ah, those people are crazy. A kid I go to school with is like that. He plays lots of instruments and he can hear a peice of music and play it. I'd be lucky if I could even read music, haha.

[Flaunted]

some guitar hero skilllz.
and like.. speaking japanese and chinese fluently.... haha.
singing would be cool too.

[MissFits]

I wish I could play drums better. It's just so damn frustrating to hit a plateau.
I wish I could draw, or paint, or graphically design things.

[markmejia]

I wish I could breakdance.

[Jennifer]

Perfect pitch! Seriously. There are people who, if you play an F, they just know exactly what note you're playing and whether it's in tune or not. It's amazing.

...someday. >.<

That'd be pretty cool
Would surely come in handy

[kryogenix]

I wish I was as good as me.

Oh wait, I am me. I am better than you.

[stephinika]

I wish I could dance better. And sing better. But yeh, perfect pitch would be amaaaazing.

Oh, and drawing skills would be nice.

[RyanWasHere]

Magically Read People Thoughts...

That would be chill.

We all have photographic memory, you just don't have the film.

MY FIANCE CAN DO THAT! It's amazing to see. He can play ANY instrument almost effortlessly and he can't even read read any sheet music.

[xtwitchyx]

I think it'd be cool to be a contortionist.

Me too. But I wish I could play guitar. i tried to a few times, but my hands aren't big enough. They only reach so many strings.

[revka]

.....

[toxicity584]

I wish I could shred on the guitar like Hendrix or Morello.

[xtwitchyx]

Hendrix is one of my gods.

[toxicity584]

I love his stuff man I like him Tom Morello and a few others but nobody likes the other guys I like.

[xtwitchyx]

Well name some fo them off, I might know who your talking about and I may like them. Eddie van Halen is one of my other gods.

[toxicity584]

Like for guitarist right now, I like:
Nick Valensi (The Strokes)
Albert Hammond Jr. (The Strokes)
Jack White
Craig Nicholls (The Vines)
Rafael Moreira
Dave Grohl
Josh Homme
Daron Malakian

[xtwitchyx]

I'm not real familiar with Vines or Strokes. So I wouldn't know those ones. Are they really good? I know a lot more about older guitar players.

[toxicity584]

Well to me they are good but I don't know about what others might think of them. I only got into rock in 2001 and the strokes were the first band I saw and ever since then I have been hooked.

[EddieV]

Well name some fo them off, I might know who your talking about and I may like them. Eddie van Halen is one of my other gods.

Eddie Van Halen IS my God.

[arcanum]

There are a few. I really wish I could play violin, or be a contortionist. That would be rad.

[Insurmountable]

I wish I could draw and make the cutest art.

[arcanum]

Oh yeah, Drawing too. If I could steal drawing skills, I would take it from my friend Liz, or my friend Matt.
They are both amazing! And I am highly jealous.

I made it to 13k

[S-Majere]

Eddie Van Halen IS my God.

I love you.


I'd like to be able to run a marathon without my blood pressure forcing me onto the pavement.

[EddieV]

I wish I could snipe someone from 1.6 miles away. (The current record is 1.5)

[clarity]

I wish I was better at guitar.

[RyanWasHere]

I wish I could snipe someone from 1.6 miles away. (The current record is 1.5)

lol what an interesting...morbid ability to have...

[transcendentalis...]

good jorb!
<-- perfect pitch :) people make such a big deal out of it, but i know people who have some pretty badass relative pitch which is almost the same thing.

mm i wish i could ... be able to convince people of anything.
/control water or air, it's a toss up between the two.. it's not really a talent though.

[MissFits]

Jack White

Jack White, like the White Stripes Jack White?
He is really not that good. I mean, he can play, but not one of the best.
Have you ever heard Maps and Atlases?
Now THAT is a guitarist.

Not to rival Van Halen or Hendrix. But, a good modern guitarist.

[toxicity584]

A talent that i wish I had would be the ability to be a woodman....Ryan/Eddie, that sounds good eh?

[freeflow]

I'd like to be able to draw.

[tokyo-rose]

I'd like the ability to breakdance.

[superficial]

I suck at drawing, so probably MUCH better drawing skills, hah.

[xtwitchyx]

Eddie Van Halen IS my God.

I can't have just one god though, Eddie isn;t the only one who kicks ass at guitar playing.

My brother has a 5150, btw. Those are awesome. My brother candy striped his snowmobile too. Now he's selling it. :( I don't want him too. But that's better than him selling one of his cool guitars. Like his Jimi Hendrix fender for example. He got it signed by Dick Dale a couple years ago (Another awesome guitar player.). I envy my brother for the guitars that he has.

[*jeanna*]

Jack White, like the White Stripes Jack White?
He is really not that good. I mean, he can play, but not one of the best.

Jack White was ranked #17 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
"#70 Eddie Van Halen "

list

[toxicity584]

^ Are you Mad? Have you seen some of his live performances? Grammys 2004 is one that definitely comes to mind...

[arcanum]

^ It's not her list, its the Rolling Stones.

[micros]

I wish I could play guitar or drums

[toxicity584]

^ It's not her list, its the Rolling Stones.

Before you jump into something, I was responding to her thought of Jack White not being all that good.

[libertie]

good jorb!
<-- perfect pitch :) people make such a big deal out of it, but i know people who have some pretty badass relative pitch which is almost the same thing.

That's the thing, my relative pitch is pretty decent, but my ear still needs work. xD I can pick up my flute and play almost anything I hear, but I have to search around to find the right key otherwise I'm playing the exact same intervals, only in a different key. Once I play a few notes to get in the key, I'm there. Someone plays an A and I guess anywhere within a couple of half steps both ways at it. I'm about to play a tuning pitch, and I try to hear it before I play it and I'm usually about a half step off.

More eartraining will be good to help with the fine-tuning and pretty much get me as far as I can go on my own, but I don't think I'll ever have absolute perfect pitch. Saddening.

[arcanum]

Before you jump into something, I was responding to her thought of Jack White not being all that good.

LOL. It wasn't her response, she was quoting someone else.

[karmakiller]

Whoa, this topic got long. It'd be cool to be really good at guitar, although my fingers would be bloody from praticing as much as people do. But if I was a guy I'd get lots of chicks. *koolaide voice* Oooooh yeeeeah.

[xtwitchyx]

^Lol. Yeah, you would. I'm attracted to my boyfriends awesome guitar skills. I just find the talent it takes to play guitar to be really hot. Even the guitar itself attracts me.

[brooklyneast05]

i wish i could play the piano

[Prophet]

I wish I could sing.

[Spirited Away]

The ability to play any sport and win every game.

That... and maybe sing... prettily.

[arcanum]

i wish i could play the piano

I can teach you the Sesame Street theme song on the piano.
Oh, and most of Joy to the World. xD

[LadiieKay-Mamii]

I wish.. i could dance

[Jinny]

I wish I could sing!

[Crash2]

I wish I could play more kinds of instruments. Basically I wish was more musically inclined :-/

[EddieV]

Jack White was ranked #17 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
"#70 Eddie Van Halen "

list

You know that list is based on biggest influence rather than who's really the best?
