What instruments do you guys know how to play?
    #14485720 - 05/20/11 06:04 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

and how long've you been playing it for? What made you choose that instrument? Are you at the point where you are able to manifest the music you make in your head into reality? If you don't play an instrument, which one do you want to learn?

For me, guitar 7 years (self-taught), keyboard 9 years. For guitar, well, I'm a metalhead so that's self-explanatory :awesome: For keyboard, my first time playing it was at a buddy's birthday party when I was 10 or so, just made random melodies all night long. In all honesty I personally prefer keyboard because of the infinite possibilities it has to offer.

For guitar I'm not much of a 'riff' person. I have always tended to enjoy dissonance, ambience and soundscapes moreso than solid riffing so needless to say I'm not a very technical guitarist and I love making drone metal/dissonant walls of sound with it.

I played piano for about 8 years and the cello in highschool. I wasn't too bad but I have moved on.

I would love to learn the guitar or mandolin though.

Badass.

I play Guitar, trombone, trumpet, baritone, tuba and piano.

Don't play any of the brass instruments anymore, but I did from 5th-12th grade. Guitar is my main instrument, and I'm teaching myself the piano.

I play guitar and melodica. I listen to a lot of folk punk kinda music.
I'm not great at either but I can make okay music.

I'd love to learn banjo.

Electric guitar.. 3 years.
Always wanted to learn the piano or the drums if I decide to pickup another instrument.

I've played clarinet (not jazz, though) for upwards of 27 years now.  But props to the jazz clarinetist! I can't improv for sh*t.

I own a few different instruments like Sitar and Tabla but I wouldnt say I know how to play any of them. Or atleast not "classically".

The only thing I actually picked up and learned to an extent was dj'ing/mixing records.


I havnt touched any of my music shit in a long time...  :sad:  My zest for life is slowly coming back though and with it hopefully some inspiration and motivation to sit down with one of my instruments and create.

:heart:

Ive played guitar and bass for about 15 years. Drums came naturally playing in bands about 8 years ago. I dick around on the piano. Im familiar with music theory...form chords and scales and such, but I cant sight read. Most of what I play on the piano is just from memory, or very slow and thought out improv. Nothing too impressive.

I also play the skin flute....

I played flute from 6th to 10th grade, then dropped out of band. I still have my flute but I'm kinda rusty on it.

We have an out of tune piano that I can play chopsticks on, if that counts :lol:

I can play the drums. But I havent had a kit for like 4 or 5 years but I sat in with my friends band a couple months ago and I actually surprised myself, I rocked that shit. I thought I would have lost it after all those years but I didn't, I actually killed it. What i really want is to learn to play a sitar they just sound so great i want one soooooo bad. :shakefist:

I played snare drum in beginning band. Our band director got arrested for DUI and fired though so I didnt move on to marching band because our music program was kind of a joke after that.

I want a piano so bad.  My mom use to have one when I lived with her and I would love just sitting down at it and trying to work things out. ours was in tune though :smirk:

Haha, I was going to join marching band too but changed my mind at the last second. I'm glad I did too, because it sounded like hard work :lol:

Pianos are awesome, but I know I'll never be able to play one because my fingers are just too damn short :frown:
