Anyone play any instruments?
In my first posting of a new topic, I'm just wondering if any of you out there play any instruments?
I myself play mainly guitar. Although I have played a bit of bass, piano, harp, and I even sing once and a while(if you consider voice an instrument). |
I play the keyboard. and a little of the mouse.
and the guitar. i can rock like 60 songs no problem! only took a few weeks to learn them on hard! haha! seriously, i can play the keyboard(piano) for a few basic songs. i never had instructions so my technique sucks. and if i had a guitar for real, i'd be playing that a lot! never tried. only on Guitar Hero. |
I've played piano since I was like 3 or 4. I'm addicted.
|
Hell yeah. I play the guitar. I used to play the trombone along time ago in band, i still dabble with it every now and then. I love my guitar though, its an Ibanez Talman TC-420, great for what i play. I believe noodles from the offspring adopted the series and its now called an "NDM."
|
I majored in flute in university.
|
I can play drums, bass, and a little bit of guitar.
Its fun :) |
OMG! Why am I only coming up with prurience? The instrument I play (with) best produced musicians.
|
A little piano, and guitar. I like the piano way better, I wish I had the time and money to get some good lessons.
|
Used to play the trumpet, was never much good, didn't practise enough!
|
THE TROMBONE...BEEN PLAYING FOR 16 YEARS!!!!! YA, I GET THE CHICS! :)
|
Played saxophone (primarily alto, but also tenor and baritone for a little bit) between 4th and 12th grade. Played the bassoon from 9th through 12th grade.
It's a bit of a stretch I suppose, but I think the voice counts as an instrument as well, in which case it's the one I'm most trained in, having been taking lessons since about 7th grade and majoring in vocal performance for my first 3 years of university before switching to political science. |
I've been playing the guitar for a short while. But I have terrible practice habits so I suck really badly. I also seem to have a very bad music ear but something trivial like that is not gonna stop me.
I wish I had a sax or a good keyboard/piano. I love those two instruments but I've never had the money to get one. :sad: Music should be free to try out, damnit. |
I've been playing guitar off and on for a several years now. Used to play the drums when I was a kid.
|
Sheesh, what didn't I play?
I started playing flute in 5th grade, and stuck with that until my Junior year in High School. Then I switched to the tuba because our band had very little low brass, that and because chicks dig tuba players. (yeah right). 2nd semester of my Senior year I played trombone in jazz band and bassoon in concert band, also played bass drum in drumline. I then was a music major in college, (majored on the tuba) where I had several classes where I had to pass tests in numerous instruments (almost all of them) including... voice, piano, clarinet, all precussion, trumpet, trombone, bassoon, flute, violin, viola and conducting. I had some experience in a few of those, and none in others. Obviously I never was "good" at the ones I was learning for the first time, but I passed all the tests. Surprisingly, I never learned guitar, but thats the way it happened. And yes, I now am a working as a graphic designer/ illustrator. Go figure. |

Years ago, I played the tuba and the trombone. Now I just mess around on the guitar. I am not very good and don't play as much as I should.
|
Tenor sax player with some alto as well. Played piano and organ as a child but didn't stick with it. Trying to teach myself harmonica currently.
|
..
|
me too.
|
This is like a band geek reunion.
I'm not a musician, but I play one on TV. |
I play the piano. I don't have a piano anymore though because we move too much. I would love to have one again and start teaching piano lessons. Maybe one of these days I'll talk my mom into giving me hers.
|
I played the piano when I was younger and am now trying to get back into the swing of things. I'd love to learn how to play drums though. I got a pretty good ear for percussion so I'm looking into getting a cheap 2nd hand set.
|
I used to play the clarinet until my teacher died on me. I took that as a sign...
|
Like many people, I played the piano when I was younger (very young, I'm still only 20) but gave it up. For me, other obligations like schoolwork had to take precedence. But now, also like many people, I regret not being able to play any longer. Sometimes when I'm at my parents' house for semester breaks, and no one else is home, I'll sit down and play a bit- which is easier now that my mother (who is in a similar situation regarding this) is taking lessons and has several beginner-level books of sheet music. I guess principally the reason that I do it secretly is that my otherwise good-for-nothing younger brother is an accomplished pianist (whereas I gave up piano for academics in middle school, he went to an arts school for it) and if I really acknowledged that I played then I would inevitably have to be compared to him... and I'm a prideful person.

I just got back from a two hour guitar lesson. I've only been playing for a few months and between my job and girlfriend (2nd job) - I don't play as much as I should. But I'm getting there thanks to my awesome instructor.
I played the drum and violin in elementary and junior high but I took that about as seriously as the New York City Board of Education takes teaching music appreciation - not very seriously at all. |
Drums, bass, keyboards, triangle and guitar (Epiphone Les paul goldtop, a thing of beauty). Really want to learn the cello someday.
|
I play zills (while dancing!) and a little bit of the doumbek.
I <3 percussion instruments. |
For the last year or so I carry a harmonica in my car, two actually, little Hohners one G and one D ...so when I get stuck in traffic I whip one out and start tooting on it. Lately I'm also playing it as I drive down the highway ...this morning I was trying to make chords/sounds like Neil Young, kind of off key/rough, I think I did pretty good.
I also have a "special" Fender Mustang under my bed that I practice on a little but not enough. I got this about 10 years ago for my daughter who had to have a guitar just like Curt Cobain, but she moved on to something else and gave it back to me as sort of a repayment of a loan. I also have a trumpet that I toot now and then. The only lessons I ever had were piano lessons for about 8 years when I was a child ...over 45 yrs ago, then clarinet lessons for a couple years in high school. |
I play classical guitar. I actually can't strum cords well, but my finger picking is good.
I have wanted to play the piano for a long time, I need to just buy a keyboard and start learning. I'd like a computer-keyboard interface for learning, does that exist, if not I should make it... I don't want to put the money up, if I leave country again it would be hard to take with me. That is my excuse anyway. |
I've been playing Guitar for 8 years, Drums for 4, and I've been trying to teach myself how to play piano, which so far has been unsuccessful. I've got a few songs posted on my myspace if anybody wants to hear.
Anyone else recorded somethin? |
I've been playing piano since I was 8, and I'm almost done with a music composition degree (not that that's related to my instrument necessarily).
|
I play the cowbell ;)
|
Guitar, Piano, String Bass, and Cello
|
I can play the trumpet and I write music on my computer.
|
Played trombone when I was younger... now I stick to the guitar. Tried my hand at piano, but the learning curve is so much steeper that I prefer to stay with my six-string :).
|
I played the trumpet in jr high, switched to baritone my freshman year. I then was asked to play the tuba for the graduating senior class and never went back. I actually got a scholarship from playing that giant twisted hunk of metal and have always loved to pick one up at our reunions to play the school song with the rest of the band geeks.
|
I play the drums, and love them.
|
I've been playing the saxophone for about 10 years. I have to say that this is probably one of the very few things I'm talented in, but I never practised a lot. I played in a symphonic orchestra and a big band. When my teacher left, I quit. I also played violin for a year, but I totally hated it. I have a keyboard at home, but I feel that you need a teacher to get halfway decent.
Today I play the guitar and I think it's the perfect instrument for a lazy and impatient person like me, because it's quiet easy to learn and I can just pick it up anytime and play a few songs.:) |
Wow. Only three people have tried the violin and none liked it? I've been playing for 8 years now. It's been my soul companion since I started, and it's useful for wooing girls...:)
|
I play MusicMatch. Often. :crazy:
