me ~ electric bass, some guitar, just about any rhythm instrument

 

[MCC]

I've played cello for about 8 years and guitar for a little over half a year now. My school's orchestra played at Carnegie Hall this June, and Donald Trump dropped in on our performance @ the IBM atrium.

My case is the brown one in the far back.

 

[TheRobbStory]

I've been playing guitar since I was 14, so about 11 years.

I was a percussionist throughout high school, playing snare on the drumline. Played snare for two summers in drum corps, and five years in college.

I mess around with they keys every once in a while.

 

[ComfyCan]

I've been teaching myself guitar for about 9 months so far. It's coming slowly, but I do enjoy it.

 

[musicmind]

Yet another guitarist, enjoy playing any good music in classical, blues/rock, metal or jazz style. At the moment, mostly into chord melody jazz.

Hope to learn a few more instruments as I go along.

 

[Towert7]

I actually have access to 2 keyboards, a ukulele, and a few guitars.

Right now I'm dedicating myself to learning to play my classical guitar, but I just have so little free time to practice it's not going anywhere very fast.

Serious Instruments:
Percussion (Focus mainly on drum set, mallets (vibes/marimba), and tabla (Indian kettle drum))
Harmonica (I usually just stick with my special-made C-diatonic, which features an additional half-octave both higher and lower than a normal Hohner)
Laptop (Mostly self-coded SuperCollider interfaces and some analog manipulation along with that)
Clarinet
Sitar

Things I can play but don't perform with:
Saxophone (I have an alto and a baritone)
Congas, bongos, djembe
Bass
Piano

I used to be a drummer...does that count?

Think I could just about hold a 4/4 together these days

Damn wrists have stiffened up! And as for independance...lol.

 

[miscreant]

piano 4 years, classical guitar 14 years, electric guitar 3 years, drums&bass both 1/2 years.

 

[MusicallySilent]

Played cello for about 4 years now, and we have a piano which I am still working on getting used to the clef and fingering style (stupid thumb)

I would like to learn, violin, viola, guitar, bass (upright and guitar)

I would also like to try my hand at making some electronica music sometime

 

[walt93]

Played piano for many years when I was really young (started when I was like 4 or something). I got pretty good by the time I stopped (about 13 or so) taking lessons for it. After that I pretty much just stopped playing, and my skills were gone. I was never great at it, but I could play some really nice rare classical pieces (still know the majority of one of them fairly well).

Years later I picked up the guitar and took lessons for a bit to learn basics. I play guitar quite frequently, but don't really learn too much. I mostly do my own thing, occasionally picking up a tab, but mostly song writing, with fairly simple riffs, sometimes with a bit of singing (but my voice is a little lacking). I'd probably be a lot better at guitar if I structure my playing a little more to learn, rather than just enjoy myself, but I kind of prefer doing what I do.

I wouldn't call what I do practicing, I'd called it playing, and I play quite regularly (maybe average an hour a night or so). When I am not in school or working I play a lot of guitar, but when I get off an 8 hour work day, or finish a day of classes and then have to study or do work, I typically just don't have enough energy to have an extended jam session, so I just play for an hour or so.

I guess pretty well everyone can claim to play an instrument at some level because in school in Canada we all had to learn how to play the recorder. When I went to school in England they started teaching us musical instruments at a very young age. I started with the triangle, very hard instrument to learn that.

Besides my previous posts about guitars and bass guitars I also took drum lessons when I was 14 but never got around to buying a drum kit so it didn't go too far. I was pretty good at doing drum rolls on my practice pad though and we had to learn how to hold the sticks in the proper classical way, unlike a lot of rock drummers I see. Lots of rock drummers hold their sticks like they have bad table manners holding a knife and fork. No big deal as it's what you can do with the sticks that is more important but the classical method does help with speed and finesse.

 

[warcarrot]

been playing the violin since I was littlun of 8.

 

[i_don't_know]

Played trumpet from 4th grade until the end of freshman year. Now I play guitar, and I love it.

 

[festivus528]

Baritone/Euphonium/Trombone for 7 years (points to whoever knows what a euphonium actually is. I was always the guy who played that "big tuba-looking thing")
Tuba for 2 years.
Now I'm trying to learn the bass.
