hope theres more musicians out there! :D

[twboy1999]

i used to play piano, violin, clarinet,
but that is yrs ago.. and forgot how to play all of them

basically wasted shit loads of money

[T-Bird]

Well Trumpet, Baritone, Piano, and a little bit of trombone.

[TransAm]

A furry brown harmonica on occasion... (think about it!)

[stradale]

I play keyboards/synths, but not as much as I used to anymore.

[na2o]

I play the guitar pretty well for over 3 years now, this is a picture of me jamming with my band (pretend like u don't see the awkward furniture in the room coz it's the only one we can play in :mrgreen: )

See my posts in the guitars and basses thread :wink:

I posted beofre, but this seems more apropriate...
I am proud to be a drummer....A Jazz one, for that matter, although i have two bands, one is 60's and 70's classic rock influenced, the other is a jazz trio....
I've posted pics of my kit before....maybe i'll put them here later...

Music-wise, i like jazz, and classic rock more than anything...for that matter i compose a bit, and play around...in August, i'm starting piano, to get a better understanding of harmonics, melody etc....

EDIT: Drumming for 8 yrs now...

[graywolf624]

Previously I played the trumpet for about a decade and the violin for a year.
Currently I've done about a year of guitar(but no real lessons, im on my own)

[jj23]

I'm a guitar nut! I've been playing for around 8 years now. Play a lot of blues and rock. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, that kind of stuff :D . Pretty much any time i like what i hear i'll go home and learn how to play it.

[SFDMALEX]

I play guitar. Play lots of RHCP, and John Frusciante solo stuff, Pink Floyd, Hendrix...mainly John Frusciante though.

I have a Kramer Focus. Sounds as good as a mexican Start.

you have been drumming since 7? Damn thats awsome!!!!!

[racer_f50]

well...I own a banjo, but I gave up on learning it since it was so hard.
My girlfriend is really into playing guitar. She likes playing a pretty wide variety of stuff, from metal to accoustic 8)

[JiggaStyles09]

i played the guitar for a couple years in high school, i own an ibanez but i dont play it all that often anymore.

i had taken lessons for a few weeks but my guitar teacher quit lol and i never went looking for another teacher.

[Aleighy]

used to play the flute, but i had a shitty time reading sheet music for it, so i gave it up. i play piano by ear, but no sheet music there either. my best is by far the viola, been playin since like age 9, private lessons and all, and because of my history there, i can play most stringed instruments, but the violin is probably the second easiest. I had my stint with the drums, bass, and guitar, and i think the only one im likely to continue is the guitar. there were also some off-beat ones, tuba (tried it, hated it, gave it up), and slide guitar (just not fun).

[ZfrkS62]

and slide guitar (just not fun).


a country girl that doesnt' like the slide guitar?! :shock: are you toying with us?

@ALEX- did you mention before you were left handed? i can't remember :?

[Aleighy]

and slide guitar (just not fun).


a country girl that doesnt' like the slide guitar?! :shock: are you toying with us?

nope, totally serious, i had to look back and fourth so much, and that holdin it like that kinda hunched over is hard on the back, but i can see where you might think that, zfrks. i like the slide guitar in my music, i just dont like to play it myself :)

[pzgren]

i played trumpet for many years and since a few years i play classic guitar. but i never had any lessons, just learned it by myself. but in the past i didnt' had a lot of time to practice...

[Refefer]

I will join the ranks of the guitar players here. I'll post a pic later, when I return home for the summer (semester is finally over) but I play an Alvarez and a Seagull M6 Spruce guitar. Not to expensive, but beautiful sound and I love how incredible it looks. I gotta give it to the canadians: they know how to make them on the same league as Martin or Taylor.

Oh right, and i've been playing now for 5 years.

[cho_888]

i play guitar, and lots of it. I play pretty much every sort of music

[saadie]

i play computer ...
sounds fimmiliar huh ... :lol:

well .. one of my dad's frd is in a local band .. he kinda taught me how to play guitar ..... but what i really want to get onto is drums .... but they are just too expensive. ... :roll:

[jamberl]

I play guitar and bass.... and recently ive started learning piano.
I used to be in a band but it broke up, so now im in a casual songwriting project with a couple of mates.

[SPAD]

i play guitar.ive been playing for about a bit over 4 years i think.i love it.i play alot of blues style stuff and alternative.i dont play much of other peoples stuff i just make stuff up while i play or play some things that i remeber from other times.I also play a bit of piano and drums or watever i can get my hands on.Also im in a band with nubrun

[alex_jean22]

Me I play barythone saxophone at school in harmony, but I'm not very good and I have approximatly one class of harmony per week.

Since I listen music like Iron Maiden and Metallica, I want so much to play guitar. I will probably buy an acoustic one to get familiarized with it and after i'll see for an electric one.

[SPAD]

^ ya thats a good idea.Ive been playing for a few years and i still dont have an electric,i just use my friends but acoustic is fine.also they build your finger muscles so when u go to electric its easy.

[evoWalo]

I used to play drums. Always wanted to learn bass/guitar/keyboards but was too lazy.

[SFDMALEX]

^ ya thats a good idea.Ive been playing for a few years and i still dont have an electric,i just use my friends but acoustic is fine.also they build your finger muscles so when u go to electric its easy.

Hehe, I started with electric, and acoustic gauge basicly. I started with 11s. :lol:

[SFDMALEX]

And I just bought one of these.* I have to say its not too hard to put things down by ear, for example I can already play a few guitar riffs on the keyboard...But I mainly use this as a controller for guitar FX.

[Ian_yamaue]

I play guitar too, not much like cho_888, but I try :wink:
I play piano a little better.

[adamwich]

I have played guitar for 5 years... But I am currently making a lot of music on my computer..

[irrational_i]

I can play classical guitar - but not great at all.
Same with Piano. Some sonatas and short pieces.
Self-taught on both.

My piano was a cheap one I found in someone's garage. A bit old and tired now but a friend owns a Steinway upright I play on sometimes.
My guitar is a 25 year old Ibanez. I recently tried to get info and all I got was that it is fairly rare, has incredible sound and a replacement would be around $2000.

[|Nuno|]

Me, I play bass. Here it is:

Thanks! :D And it has active pickups (unless I'm missing something).

The sound is ok with my crappy Amp (need to get a new one soon), and fantastic with the 100W Ampeg that I tried at the shop. I looked at a BB614 and a RBX375 before, but they sounded very weak with the Behringer BX108...

That's the cool thing about the BB614 - it makes my Amp sound more powerful than what it is in reality, and thanks to the active electronics, it's very flexible. :D Plus, it's very light and to me, it has just the right size.

[nthfinity]

4 guitars,(samick imitation strat, TC electric slide, Heavily modified (also dissasembled) Mexican Fender Stratocaster, Costom hand built Classical guitar)
a practice amp from Samick, and a 1970 Kasino 50 watt amp. ive been playing guitar for 5.5 years

i also own an Alto Saxaphone, id need at least a month to recondition my mouth to play it again... but reading music, playing the notes/scales, or most of the songs i played... impossible to forget that 8) i played my sax regularly for about 8 years, but not much the last 3 years

... i have the ability, but only have medeocre ambition these days.

i mostly just jam around some interesting riffs/rythms when i pick er up.

im heavily influenced by SRV, and Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden, with a few nocks to the fat sweed; Yngwie Malmsteen.

also i do some classical segovian fingerstyle songs like 'Disiderata'... i dont think i'll ever be able to play true flamenco fingerstyle like Poco de Lucia... he's just not human :shock:

when i have the extra money, my Fender is going to get repaired (refretted, re sorted electronics, left hand whammy, neck straitened.

[corpse_grinder0]

ive got a custom left handed Ibanez RG 570

heres a pic from back in the day. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/corpse_grinder0/yahooplayinguitar.jpg

My Zildjian cymbals (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg06536bc.jpg) are a 1950's Zildjian Ride (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg06499nx.jpg), 22"(i can't bring myself to rivet it, but it sounds like mitch mitchell's and ginger baker's rides)

a 20" K Ride (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg06230qg.jpg)

a 18" K Ride (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg06214fv.jpg), slightly old (1980's i think) with 3 rivets

and a pair of 14" K constantinople Hi Hats (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg06225ff.jpg)....
