Come on then, how many are musically able, and what do you play, Comb's and kazoo's DOO NOT COUNT!!


I play the guitar, (getting better all the time) and have played various other instruments in my time, including the violin and viola.

Would really like to play the drums, but i get enough stick for the guitar

I played the saxophone for 8 years, but have slowly lost touch with it since I got in to college. I can only assume that will go down hill after I start working in August as well. Tis a shame really as I did enjoy it.

played drums for 3 years on high school. fun as heck. totally lost all knowledge of it now though

Except it has white instead of black. Yamaha Pacifica.
Only been playing since July or so but I like to think I am alright for how long I have been playing. I love it!

I play Air Bass Guitar quite well, well my neighbour hadn't complain since I start playing....

I play an Ibanez GRX70 electric, a Dean Exotica electro-acoustic , both through a Marshall MG215CD amp. (small size, big noise). I also have a Hohner nylon-strung acoustic.
The green Dean is a recent addition and wasn't my first choice of colour, but I got it brand new for £100, which is a steal and I'm getting used to the look of it.

I am sufficiently crap that I can't justify any really good stuff, but as Baz says, learning all the time and getting alot better. I used to have a dream about an electric blue Les Paul Custom and have promised myself one when/if I can play the whole of Phantom of the Opera in one hit. So like I said, it's a dream.

Like madbrit, I was born with an Air Guitar and consider myself a genius of the highest order with it

I also dabble with the harmonica, and would really like a drum kit, and a bigger house to put it all in!

What guitar does Baz play?


*edit* pic is larger than I thought.

I can confirm that Baz ain't bad with a guitar. Although I do have painful memories of him learning the viola when 'e were a wee laddie.

Personally I tried to learn to play the recorder at primary school and failed abysmally. Seems I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket and possess the musical ability of a dead skunk.

I'm a shit hot air guitar and air drums player though!

I started out with (and absolutely owned) those little recorder flutes in grade school.

Before I got to junior high, I had decided I wanted to play a real instrument, so I found my grandma's clarinet. I learned how to play some basic stuff and decided to take it to band class. But when I got there, we found out it needed several hundred dollars worth of tune-up parts (pads, valve pivots, etc... needed an overhaul basically). So I settled for a rental horn... all they had was an E-flat Baritone Horn.

Played it through junior high and when I got to high school, all sorts of new things came into play. I got to play a bell-front Marching Baritone, regular Trombone, Bass Trombone, 3-valve 'Super Trombone', tried out a Mellophone (bell-front French Horn basically), and a beautiful 4-valve Yamaha Euphonium. High school was a blast for me.

On the side, I 'played' keyboards - well, learned how to imitate the tunes I wanted to anyway... never really did learn how to actually play the keys. I even sat down in front of my friend's drum set a few times and he commented on how much better my playing was after a few tries than his was after a few years. Something to look into in the future maybe.

In Air Force basic training, I joined the Drum & Bugle Corps flight and got to play a 2-valve Baritone Bugle - very cool. 4 years of Marching Band in high school made that feel right at home. Most AF basic trainees only have to participate in 2 Retreat Ceremonies and 1 Parade (Graduation)... our flight did 8 Retreats and 3 Parades - that stuff rocked!

While I was in Turkey, I bought a nice Yamaha DX-7 keyboard, but the Turks decided to keep it when I left (they packed up my stuff and kept around $6000 in electronics...). Also, when I was babysitting a friend's dog (while they were on leave in the 'States), I played around with his Fender Stratocaster... pretty damn cool, and I could make some decent sounds - again, while imitating the tunes I heard on the CD player (I 'learned' Rush's Limelight (rhythm part only), Dokken's Dream Warriors, and a couple other tunes...). Lots of fun - might pick up a guitar some day too.

I haven't played in like 16 years, but I'm tossing around the idea of buying a Euphonium and trying out for the community band. Could be fun... I just gotta find a way to make time for that too, in addition to all my other 'distractions.'

I too play mean Air instruments... but I specialize in 'Steering Wheel Drumset,' 'Dashboard Keyboards,' and Air Guitar and Bass... I could be my own band.

Sorry this was so long.

Been playing the old Guitar for about 13 or 14 years now - Also learning the Harmonica as we speak!!

Currently own 5 guitars - 2 custom made, 1 Honer, 1 rickenbacker copy and 1 classical!

I love playing - really relaxes me!

G

Not a dam thing!

Oh crap, I forgot to mention that I was also the 'Bugler' for my Boy Scout troop.

And my wife's old Coronet (smallish trumpet) is in the closet and I've played it some as well, but I don't have the chops for a Trumpet.

I play the desktop, drum me fingers on it and occasionally bang it with me head. Of course, I've lost my sense of taste doin' that bit...

What kind of sax?? I played tenor for I dunno ...4 years? Played the clarinet for 7-8 years.

Used to play the piano from age 5 - 11...Of course, gotta have the plastic recorder. And I took up the guitar for a month in Grade 6.

I'd still love to learn the drums!! And the cello.

Mostly keyboard.... everything from digital to acoustic.... pianos, pipe organ (classically trained). Have my teacher's degree in music in both piano & organ. Oh yeah, also play a mean 'air guitar' & 'air drums'.
:p

new toy

I play Guitar:

and I sing!!!...... er try to anyways

Speaking of such, Who's up for starting the official "4peeps House band" ??
Anyone?

Here's my guitar. It's a Squier strat.


I started playing last fall. I can't read music, so I'm still using tabs to play. I'm trying to learn how to read music and practice the guitar at the same time. It's slow going since I don't spend a whole lot of time on it.

Alto. Could have played the tenor for a year or two, but there already were enough and the Altos needed a good section leader.

We had an abundance of altos

And the tenor was in the same key as the clarinet... Well, not that that really mattered, I guess.

For many years:

That you are correct afoo. Just what I happened to get started on and stuck with throughout high school. Good memories indeed.

Two teaspoons upon my knee......and wailing along!

Had a whirl on an acoustic Bass the other day, never touched a bass guitar before.

One word. Bloody thick strings!!

Don't play a thing...

My red twanger...
