Instruments

[Em7add11]

Ok, I'm curious...how many musicians do we have here? I know there are several guitar/bass people but how many other instruments can we add to the list of skills?

I play guitar (7 years) and piano (4-5 years). I gave up the piano to play guitar and I'm starting to miss it after all these years.

In addition to Bass Guitar, I also play the piano, French Horn, and (very poorly) the trumpet.

[Pilgrim]

I started on Piano as a kid. I also started playing Clarinet and then Sax as part of the middle school band. I went to a private school in highschool and they only had an "ensemble" which was way too good for my meager talents.

In college (1989) I traded in my clarinet and sax to buy a very nice Takamine 6 string. I've been playing guitar ever since occasionally adding a new axe to the collection.

I've tried my hand at the Bass with a little success and also the mandolin but have not gotten comfortable with it.

guitar mainly for me too, but I played sax for years and I've been drumming and pianoing lately as well.

[Salus]

I used to play the trumpet, did so for about 8 years,

[djnoz]

Piano, since I was about 10 years old (although I haven't played now for about a year). I play the decks (if that counts as an instrument :teeth: ).
and yeah, I'd love to learn guitar.

I started Piano way back when I was in the Third grade. I took up the upright bass for my middle school orchrestra, than switched to bass guitar around 15, followed by guitar soon after.

[Em7add11]

I've always wanted to learn how to play the upright bass.

Starting guitar, used to play keyboard, have been known to play concert bells, want to get a bass, have strung together some techno loops and failed miserably, and was in marching band for two years as an awesome colorguard member...

darnit, no geek smilie... :rockon:

I play guitar. I have now off and on for a while. I am self-taught and also have some serious (genetically based i fear) rhythm issues :help:

Recently, i picked up a soprano recorder and started playing around with it..hope to get an instruction manual soon...mary had a little lamb is getting pretty old right about now. :frown:

Ciao!

everybody plays guitar man. I'd be surprised if I found a group of musicians where nobody played the guitar.

Even Strongbad plays the Guitar. (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail36.html) Everybody plays guitar!

[Lizard]

Not me. At least not a six string. Bass only for me.

(I have short fat fingers)

[Em7add11]

Maybe we should start posting some guitar lesson stuff up here. Anybody else interested in the theory side of things?

[Lizard]

I don't play six string, but I am interested in theory. (both for Bass and Key Boards)

[Em7add11]

I've been working on learning scales and modes for a couple of years. I've got them memorized for the most part, but I still struggle with using that knowledge in practice.

[djnoz]

i did grade three music theory and revised 'till i was blue in the face.
i got ninety something percent (a distinction)

but i forgot it all now :D
for composition it's all about a keyboard, a computer music sequencer and a bit of random key pressing to see what sounds nice :teeth:

and yep, everyone does play guitar, because guitar rocks :rofl:

Em7,
You know, upon a real quick first glance at your avator I could have sworn that was Nugent, and I thought, "Wow! That's awesome!" Then I saw the handle in Ibanez and realized it was Vai and thought, "Wow! That's still cool!"

[Em7add11]

Vai is definately the man.

[efta777]

Though in a bar fight Nugent could take him in a heartbeat.
