Any musicians here?

[Zog the Equalizer]

i have played the guitar for 4 years now and thought Id see if anyone here played an instrument.

[SassyGal]

I play the Flute and I used to play the cello and viola, but haven't touched either in of the string instrument in 15 years at least.

[GK Punk]

I've been playing guitar for about 10 years now. I <3 mah Les Paul.

do you prefer electric or accoustic? Ram Bam plays accoustic, but is dying for an electric guitar.

[Revan]

I used to play the recorder in elementary school :lol:

Depends on my mood, really. A lot of the times I just play my Les Paul or Strat copy with out turning the amp on. I like the feel of the electrics better more often than not. I love the sound of a good acoustic though!

Ram Bam says he likes the feel of the electrics more too...I don't feel the diff as I don't know how to play, but it's the same with flutes...feeling is everything.

[GK Punk]

It really is. The longer I've played the more I've noticed that the neck and fretboard have to feel absolutley comfortable in your hands when you are picking out a new guitar. What kind of guitar is he looking at?

Ironically, I went to guitar center today with my nephew (Who also plays) and had a lot of fun looking around at all the new gear. They had one of those 72' Telecaster deluxe reissues. That is a sweet, sweet guitar. I also really liked the newer Fender Jaguar model. (The All black and chrome H/H Model.) The Smaller frets actually felt comfortable, which surprised me since I am used to Les Pauls. (Which have large Frets.)

[SassyGal]

My cousin was just telling Ram Bam about the newer Fender Jaguar model...I had absolutely no idea, what they were talking about...I just know they both want one :lol:

With flutes, it's all about balance. If it doesn't sit on your hand just right, you are out of luck. I have a cheap one($110), and ironically I like it better than my old school heavy one. I can actually reach the high notes with little effort...it's all about the balance. Now I really want to play...but I can't, it's in the shop...le sad! An unfortunate moving accident...stupid cats! ;)

[Ra]

Moi? I've played the piano for five years before I quit (my teacher was insane). For six years I've been playing the cello with no intention on stopping.

I would absolutely LOVE to learn how to play the bass guitar or a standard guitar, though. Hopefully one day I will be able to get my hands on enough money to buy a Flying V or something of the like. Until then, I can always rock out hard with the cello flipped on it's side and pretend it's a guitar of some sort...or a sitar... :ohwell:

The images of you rocking out on the cello made me smile! I used to love playing the cello, although the parts for it were a little on the boring side of life. I have no idea why I stopped playing...I miss my cello :(

[XERO]

I play piano, but my brain is far too advanced to the limitations of my finger speed.

The songs I made and the remixes I've done using computer software would make you hear the ideas I would really love to play myself.

Get out of your impotence, dude. Seriously.

[raphael_is_cool]

I've been playing bass for about 6 years now. And guitar for about 3. I dabbled with the drums to a passable level a while back as well.

I R GOOD YES

Our drummer used to be 'vampire extra' on Buffy

I'm in a band called 'Sucks To Be You' (memorable at least) and we play a mix of punk, rock, ska and reggae. I can link you to some half-decent recordings (done during practices) but the sound quality isn't brilliant.

I think I'm pretty good at bass, particularly at improvisation, but I don't really play enough to be brilliant. Same goes for guitar, I'm okay but I learnt it more for songwriting purposes.

[Dr. Doom]

I just started playing bass in January.

[Sewer Bull]

I tried to master the Pan flute back in the days.

But everyone around me just can't stand its sound. So I temporally gave up. Stupid social pressure of utter barbarians.

But I will definitely pick it up one day, as I really dig it. So, my bright career is still about to start.

[Nightwatcher]

I used to play the drums, and I'd kind of like to pick it up again but I don't think the people in my apartment building would appreciate it.

I would like to learn the harmonica and piano too, not sure if I ever will.

[Roseangelo]

In elementary school I played piano.

Then in 5th grade when you could take up an instrument and join band, I learned the trumpet. I played all the way through the end of high school, although I was never really any better than average. Haven't played since, but I'll never get rid of my dear trumpet. I played on a crap cornet all those years because we couldn't afford to buy a real trumpet - Then one weekend I went to a neighborhood garage sale with my dad and while I usually went to such things looking for TMNT stuffs, on this outing my prize was finding a trumpet in virtually perfect condition for $50. My dad bought it for me and I was so damn happy.

Also in high school I played mallets in out Winter Drumline, which was fun.

[Hannah]

I played the clarinet for like, four years.

[discordiatookie]

I've had an acoustic guitar for about six years. I'm pretty crappy on it, can just do basic cords and need a book in front of me telling me what to play, and when... I hadn't played it for a coupla years, only occasionally, but at the start of the week I pulled it out from its decorative place in the corner of my room and i've got a new lust for strumming :D Had to buy some plectrums as i've noticed that there's always one lying around, until you need it. They're like ninja. Just vanish, y'see?! And I bought an up-to-date Oasis song book (my other one only went up to their first three albums) and a David Bowie songbook. Raked out my old Beatles one (yet to find my Stones songbook, grrr), and got a list of random songs off the internet to play. My fingers hurt. I love it.

[RAM BAM]

As mentioned earlier, I play a classical accoustic guitar. I also have
been playing piano/keyboards. I mostly ad-lib on both using chords.

[PipingPringle]

As you can probably tell, I play the bagpipes. I started that 11 years ago (...has it really been that long?) and I also I played clarinet for six years in school band as well as 2 years of piano while in elementary.

[Cascadia]

I play the tenor trombone that has a F-attachment, I have been playing it for the last 17 years. I can play the trumpet and alittle bit on the French Horn.

[Wanda]

I've played keyboards and guitar as long as I can remember. I've also studied few flutes and bass and some drumming for some time, but I definitely identify myself as a guitarist. Few times I've been mistaken to sing.

I also do composing and songwriting. Now I've been studying making music with the aid of computers. Although I like the bandplaying much more.

Playing and composing music runs in the family. :tcool:

I tried to master the Pan flute back in the days.


How cool is that! Pan flute is my all-time favorite instrument. Unfortunately I broke my mother's flute when I was something like two. :goofygri:

[raphael_is_cool]

Uh oh. I'm on YouTube.

[PAAATE]

I'm the leader of a pretty weird band.

Leader is a weird word in this context but I do most of the work and is the genius (Hmm...) behind our MySpace

XIBALBA's MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/xibalbapwnsyomama)

[lambofun]

I make music with my gameboy.

[Guitar_Raph]

Just like my Ex-Cel teen character, I play the guitar & vibes! No, seriously, the vibes are so cool to play. I have a black Yamaha hollow body electric that looks like your Gibson ES-335.

And if the Texas Lottery ever cooperates, I'd like to add a brown sunburst electric guitar like Ex-Cel plays & a tympani to roll on!

[GK Punk]

I used to own an ES 335 Epiphone copy. I've pretty much become a Les Paul snob though.

[cowabungalives]

I'm learning to play clarinet. Learning because I'm not very good. ^^
