Anyone play an instrument? - Page 2

**GK Punk** · 07-24-2009, 02:26 AM

I do more rythm playing than lead, but everyonce in awhile I give it a go. The nerve damage kind of limits my speed for it though.

saiyan_monkey · 07-24-2009, 02:34 AM

Leads some difficult stuff to pull off but I do look forward to been able to play something in a lead part.

*XERO* · 07-24-2009, 02:39 AM

Well, they don't have to be Hendrix-worthy. Just as long as I know that you guys can attempt them.

I'm always down for solos.

**GK Punk** · 07-24-2009, 02:40 AM

Mine are very Cobain esque. I wish I could play like Slash more than anything though.

saiyan_monkey · 07-24-2009, 02:45 AM

I can do about 2 full nirvana songs onguitar. About a girl and scoff. I learnt them from tabs online which arent the correct way of playing them.

**GK Punk** · 07-24-2009, 02:51 AM

about a girl was the first Nirvana song I learned full actually

saiyan_monkey · 07-24-2009, 03:02 AM

True. I found it a good starting point. I recently got an official Nirvana Bleach guitar book and turns out the tabs I learnt were a simple basic way of playing it. The tabs in the book are at least 3 times harder.

I play harmonica sometimes.

Samurai Usagi · 07-25-2009, 02:06 PM

I can play the mouth harp or harmonica. I can play Silent Night and What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-25-2009, 05:51 PM

Okay. You asked for it...

I've been playing bass for over 9 years now. I like to think I'm pretty good but I've never really worked on my finger-picking technique because of the style of the bands I've been in. I'd have to start wearing my bass higher too and unless you're freaking John Entwistle that's not cool

I've spent ages learning scales and such (and my bands don't really vary much) that I can improvise quite a bit too.

I've been playing guitar on and off for about five years. As with bass, I've just been teaching myself so I'm not fantastic.
I'm pretty useless when it comes to any lead stuff, I can try and write the odd solo but I'm so into the bass mindset it never sounds like a true solo.
When I play guitar it tends to be to check bass stuff works. Although I do have a little dream of having a Hot Snakes/Nirvana alt-rock/grunge-like band.

When my close friend (and the guitarist in the band from 2002) noticed Reel Big Fish tuned down a step for live shows (or at least one we saw),
he figured that was a good idea and I've been stuck like that for so long I usually stick with it.
Because of this, I never really learn other songs (I much prefer writing stuff anyway).

I started with a Squier P-Bass that served me well and I moved onto a OLP Musicman 2 (one day I will get an official Ernie Ball Stingray).
And my guitar is an Epiphone G-400, which is sexy.

I played drums for two years, but quit from lack of interest. Playing drums on Rock Band kind of revitalized my interest, and when I get some money together, I want to buy a new set and learn more.

I can play a bit of guitar, but I'm far from anything worth mentioning.

No. Not at all.

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-25-2009, 07:11 PM

Yeah. Now if it were expert...

WinterMorning · 07-26-2009, 03:49 PM

I have an electric guitar, a fender. I've never picked up an instrument in my life, but it was a gift from my brother for xmas a few years ago. I took a class but that didn't go so well.

And just last week my boyfriend bought me a pink violin because I've always wanted to play, ever since I was very little. Now I have two instruments to learn...no pressure, right? ; ^ ;

I know what you are saying with that. Ive also played the bass for longer and find it a bit harder to play a guitar in a ture guitar style without adding in bass techniques.

Haha. I wasn't being serious. Guitar Hero does not mean a great deal when it comes to a real guitar.

Still fun though.
