Day 3

This blog is getting pretty lame.  I still don't have an egg yet.  Was gonna go after work but it was raining and I wasn't feeling too hot.  I need a nap.

I've been asked if I plan to document my journey with video updates and such.  I haven't thought that all the way through yet.  I wouldn't want to record egg solos (or would I?) and put them online.  But if I play egg along with popular songs, would I run into copyright issues?  I don't know and the Man is scary.  Don't want to upset him over an egg.

For those who were wondering what hand I'll be using to egg... I decided left.  But there's still time to vote so don't be discouraged if you wanted me to use my right.  Peace out.

Day 2

Still do not have an egg yet. I'm thinking of picking a couple up tomorrow. I did some youtube research last night and I came across this video.



Maybe I can just beatbox egg instead. Nah... I don't want to spit in my mic.

So I think I need to have 2 eggs. It seems in all the other videos on youtube that I saw, they used 2 eggs. I'm not exactly sure why yet but I think it gives a fuller sound.

So here are some questions that I have about the egg:

1. Do I need more than one egg? Is that only for the pros?
2. If I'm right handed, what hand do I use to play the egg(s)? And what if one day I want to tambourine and egg? I should probably learn egg in the hand that won't be using the tambourine.
3. What is the skill ceiling for the egg? How much better is the world's best egg player than just a decent egg player?

So that's my update for today.

Day 1

So for some reason today (as I was listening to music), I decided that I need to learn to play the egg. This blog will chronicle my journey in becoming the best egg player in the world (or at least a competent egg player). First thing I need to do is get an egg. I might have time later this week to go pick one up... but for now, I'll practice with a balled up sock. It's not the same, but it's a start. I'm not made of money and I had to buy shampoo today.
