Thread: Instruments

What instruments can you play and for how long have you played?

Or if you don't play an instrument, what instrument would you most want to learn and why?

I'm the best at guitar, and I've played since I was 15. I had lessons a little earlier, but never really played until high school. Being able to play guitar opened my way to bass, and I am decent at it. I also play mandolin, and have been since high school. I can play a little piano, and I used to play trombone.

I wish I could play violin or the cello.

I guess I know how to play MPC's pretty well too.

I play guitar.

Never had any formal lessons, but I have an ear for music which translates best to piano. Not bad, not good.

I'd love to be able to play the piano better.

Singing is an instrument, if you have an ear, I bet you can sing...I can't as evidenced by many different posts.

You can sing, MB. As can I...

It's been years since I've played anything....I doubt if I'm anywhere near the level I used to be but I played piano for 10 years and flute for 8. I can also play a passable tenor sax.

Trying to find the time for it after high school was difficult. I miss playing music terribly, particularly in the symphony, but if I find time to start again, I think I'm going to go back into vocal groups first. I'm not so rusty there.

OK...I'm just drunk enough to tell everyone this...damn bar...In my music system in school, our band director would not let us play Sax until we were eighth graders, so I played Clarinet from 5-8 grade, then the ******s determined I wasn't good enough to play sax, but I stayed in the band for two years more so I could go to Florida and the Bahamas with the band...and yes, I marched...it sucked. I quit, because I love football and clarinet is gay. I picked up the guitar in eighth grade to help countereffect the gayness of clarinet.

That would be the best plot for a movie ever.

Yeah...whatever...

To get this thread back on track!

Baba O'Riley:

I play bass and drums primarily.....I'm a hack on guitar.

I have a Rickenbacker Bass, a set of Remo drums, a American Strat, a Guild electric and a Yamaha acoustic. I have Peavey bass amp and Crate guitar amp.

That's about it.

I have played the skin flute for a couple of years now.
