I find the hardest part is getting them to come to practice and to keep practicing during practice.

And I sure hope that we'll make enough money to pay for beers at some point. At this point we're all so loaded with work we can't even find time to practice, let alone book and prepare for a gig. I think we'll probably set up our first one in January.

There are many bass players on Head-Fi

Cool to see so many playing guitar. I always wanted to play guitar, but my parents kept me on the piano. A part of me is now thankfull after 11 years of practice, but a part of me curses them. But heck, airguitar is fine

I play the F Horn, have for...11 years now. I play all sorts of things, anything I can get my hands on, and these days I play primarily when I am stressed out. When I am intently focused on a peice of music, everything else just kinda slides into the background.

 

[Bleed]

play the guitar as well. I play mostly anything, but right now, I'm in my Instrumental rock phase

My primary instrument is the violin, I started when I was 4. I haven't been playing too much since I got out of college; for my senior recital I played the Tchaikovsky concerto, and a Borodin string quartet, among other pieces. I like the flashy romantic stuff.

I also played the piano from age 5-13, and I'm decent at the guitar, I can play music by ear really well (that's from the Suzuki violin training!) but my fingers just don't make a lot of different chord configurations very well. They're more suited to the violin I think. And I can't solo at all.

 

[luuk]

more people who play instruments here?

I play the string bass with my school orchestra, have since 4th grade, then again I really am not that good. We goto the state competition almost every year and have gotten 10th or so for the last few years.

 

[lmilhan]

Electric guitar for 22 years now. Main axe is a PRS custom 24

Give me rock/metal/electric blues/punk/prog/neo classical or give me death.

 

[Computerpro3]

I am a junior in high school that learned piano from ages 5-11 but then stopped because we couldnt afford a piano.

Well now, things have changed, I own a quality grand piano, and I started piano again almost exactly one year ago. Since then,I have finished and performed locally the complete piano solo of Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin (memorized it too), and am now in a Rachmaninoff Competition sometime this spring. Currently learning prelude op23. No. 3 by Rachmainoff, a Chopin Nocturne, and Variations on a Theme of Paganini by Brahms (really cool piece).

I hope its not too late for conservatory or at least a piano major at a competitive school due to the time off

This is strange
I listen to hard rock and techno most of the time.
When I play my synth or guitar I always end up playing some type of home made chamber music / baroque thing .

I picked up playing the acoustic guitar last summer. I probally dont get enough pratice playing it though.

 

[bigshot]

I played guitar for several years when I was in elementary school. Last year, I decided I should take it up again (after nearly 40 years!). I play strictly for pleasure... cowboy songs, tin pan alley, and folk songs. I have a Larrivee Koa Parlor guitar, a vintage Candelas Classical and a Brazilian ukulele. I play every weekend for the folks where my mother lives. In the past year, I've had more live performance experience than most musicians I know. Mistakes and nervousness don't bother me at all any more.

See ya
Steve
