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

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

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!

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...

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 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.
