Do you play an instrument?

Archive: 88 posts


I play clarinet (Bb and bass). I've gotten much better at it, even joining the official school jazz band.

What about you?

I play piano and guitar and tried to learn violin recently.

I've technically been playing piano since I was 7 but I'm not really really good, haven't put as much into it as I could. Guitar I've been playing since sophomore year of high school and put a lot more effort into that.

I played keyboard for 2 years, I only went to I think 8 out of 32 lessons, but I fot an A for my report

I stopped them officailly after the 2 years because the only thing I was learning was classical music, which I didn't find too interesting.

I played trumpet in grade school and high school. I started playing guitar when I was a freshman in high school. So I have been playing guitar a long long time until I retired about two years ago as well as from the band I was in.. A certain person by the name of foofles has made me rethink all that and started noodling around again recently. 2010-08-18 14:00:00

I also play synths (Specialize in electric organ, and lead styles)

I Bought a Dobro last year, but I am Still Amaturish at best with it.

I used to play violin , Clarinet, Bowed Psaltry, and concertina, but those were more than a few years ago.

How many consider themselves actual 'players' though? - able to improvise in a variety of styles etc;
& how many of you just know a couple of chords of your favourite songs?

It's the difference between saying you can draw - and drawing a stickman - or painting a mona-lisa

I'm more of a singer than a player, but I'm good when it comes to the tenor saxophone. I've also self-taught myself to play harmonica really well and any kind of hand drum... I'm your man.

I use to play ukelele, acoustic guitar, piano and the "dumpster band" (i.e. trash cans and brooms), but it's been such a long time. Maybe I ought to pick up that old guitar and start playing again...

Yeah, I play piano for about 3 years now. Used to play the trumpet in junior high but "didn't have the lungs for it". Picked up piano and never looked back. Oh and I also play a bit of guitar, but only when my friend comes over for a visit and shows me how badly I am with it compared to him >.

Ironically I'm better than him at guitar hero

I can play free-form piano, similar to electronic music, done on an acoustic, out-of-tune instrument. It makes my whole family cry (in a good way), but I don't think it qualifies, since I don't know any songs and can't repeat anything I made before.2010-08-27 17:39:00

Actually, the bass is tuned to BEADGC rather than the guitar's standard of EADGBE... And if you haven't realised, bass strings are massive compared to guitar strings


Nah, 4 string is where its at xD

I used to think that...

Duuuuude just because an original bass is 4 strings, does mean it owns! As long as we have instruments and create beautiful music with it, doesn't matter how many effin' string a guitar/bass has! 'Nuff said.

I play-ish the organ, much better than the piano if yu ask me.

Why?
Because unlike wth the piano, when you buy the organ, there are "no strings attatched."




(No but I do kinda play the organ actually. )

I've played the saxophone for three years now, and the only reason I'm any good at it is because my parents make me practice before I play LBP. =S

I also can play songs I know on the saxophone on the piano, but I'm not even close to being able to read piano sheet music.

Been playing drums for about 6 years, and my drumkit takes up all the space in my bedroom > but im lucky to have one so im not complaining.
I can also play a little bit of guitar , bass, ukelele since most stringed guitarish instruments are pretty similar i have found it easy to pick them up with my basic knowledge of guitar.
I wish i played keyboards or something, i even have one plugged to the comp but havent got round to using it to learn to play
And also my beatboxing kinda developed out of drumming, firstly as a way of describing beats, but now i just like it

Guitar (Acoustic/Electric)-for only about a year and a half now...or two...or three. Time goes by to fast, I can't remember.
Piano-Since forever but I am just starting to actually learn it instead of just going off of sounds.

That's it really. I have played many other instruments, but not consistently. I hate it when people say, "You only play the guitar? I play..." and than go on to list 30 different instruments they may have touched, but never invested any real time into. I'm sorry but just because you can make noise with an instrument doesn't mean you know how to play it...
