What type of music takes the most amount of talent?

do you like metal, hard rock, or just plain rock. perhaps classics or some oldies. maybe rap, hip-hop- or R&B. there could be some people who like orchestra music. i will not limit this debate to the title, because there are just far too many aspects to it. what is your favorite type of music and why?

GO NUTS!!!

i find classical music to be the kind that takes the most talent, because in an orchestra, 20+ people have to work together to make one sound. and for a HUGE group of people to be able to work like one, THAT'S talent.

well, after both singing and playing guitar for a while and trying to play as many different things as possible, i see that everything can be hard.

So, all of them take some kind of talent. unfair to say one takes more than the other.

It depends on who you are and what you like.

The hardest would be playing music that you hate, because there is no motivation. And if any of you know anything about physics, it takes lots of force to go somewhere without momentum.

How much you like the music = Motivation = Momentum,

and Force = Talent

Is that confusing?

I can play the guitar, sing, trombone, and some piano. I'm in choir and when we sing songs that I hate, I just have a really hard time.

Side: the type you hate

i for one like hard rock. big fan of Disturbed, Three Days Grace and Korn. i like this type of music because of slammin vocals, great guitars and awesome drums. when i just want to hear some pure music with no vocals, i listen to the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Side: hard rock

I think that any music that requires one to play a musical instrument requires talent. Except maybe for rap ;)

Side: hard rock

yeah, i'm not a big fan of rap. anybody can rhyme, and anybody with a recording studio can make sounds.

Then fucking try it. Let's see what you come up with. I'm so sick of people who never listen to a genre immediately writing it off. Playing the piano looks easy, but that doesn't mean it is.

Jazz. I don't play a ton of it. But you have to memorize numbered chord progressions, and be able to improvise music with a bunch of other dudes trying to do the same when someone shouts out that number. It's demanding in terms of technique, and the "rules" of its composition aren't well-defined enough to really give you direction.

Thank you black people, for all the best music :]

I think singing takes the most talent. People can learn to play instruments from a young age, but singing is a gift that cannot be learned. And I'm not just saying that because I can sing. :)

And for the record, I am referring to actual good singing, not rap or metal, where the vocalist either speaks fast or screams in the microphone, respectively.

Rap truly doesn't take skill aside from the putting lyrics together and coming up with sensible rhymes (unlike lil wayne...ugh).

Metal is more than just screaming into a mic, I've seen amateurs who have had no practice scream into a mic and it's painful to hear. To properly scream you have to work out your diaphragm and vocal chords to manage properly the pitch and tone, and to keep it from sounding like a piercing sound. Lots of metal bands also have clean and screaming vocals, of the same person, so my opinion the metal vocalists that can scream and sing great are the most skilled, and being able to play an instrument at the same time is just icing on th cake.

I like some metal. Just not the type where you can't even understand words. I like some Metallica and stuff like that though. But I like to sing along way too much to enjoy "screamo" metal all that much.

Jazz.

Unlike rock or metal, power chords and repeated techniques don't work here.

If you want to be a good jazz musician, you have to know every scale, technique, and note that you can use in a song, and be ready to use it at any given time, in order to ensure that your song doesn't become repetitive or boring.

Id say metal, you have to have good vocals, and dont say no all they do is scream, because no. metal and screamo are not the same genre. for example three days grace, okay ya they have a screaming song (its all over) but then compare that to Last to Know metal bands are much more diverse than soft rock bands or any other genre because they play more than their main genre. also the singer usually plays more than one instrument. also metal has very fast solos and so you have to be creative and know all the scales. also you have to know chords power chords and regular notes. the drums are also using fast double bass, lots of quick cymbals and drum fills, also going on creativity. the bass is also usually very fast and all finger picked in most metal.

As a drummer I can say that metal drumming is BY FAR the easiest type of drum/percussion. Almost every metal song is just double bass and constantly hitting the china cymbal and way to many drum fills (which are one of the easiest parts of drumming). Overall, even though I like a few metal bands, metal is definitely not the most talented type of music. Jazz probably is.

Side: metal hard rock

My favorite type of music is Trance and I think someone who orchestrates Trance music has to be talented.
