Do you play a musical instrument?

Bobalicious93

I started playing the drums about 6/7 months ago. Progress is slow but steady. I finally nailed Limelight by Rush for the first time the other day. Damn you Neil Peart!

So how about you guys? Maybe we can get a band going

QueenOfLeon

I've been playing the piano since i was 5...wanna learn the guitar tho!

Been playing guitar for about 5/6 years. Always wanted to play it when i was smaller but could never got the hang of it. Picked it back up when i was like 11/12 and things finally made sense. Love tabbing out songs and making my own ones great feeling it in.

A Neurotic

Play guitar halfarsedly, none of my friends share my taste in music and playing by myself gets really boring. I'd really love to take up piano or violin though.

Play guitar badly, love noodling with pedals and that's about it!

The DD-6 is possibly the greatest invention ever.

I've been known to play my flute now and again...:pac:

Joking aside, I did actually learn the tin whistle when I was in like, 5th class...can I remember it? No.

I'd love to learn to play something(ideally, drums), but i'd probably forget how to play it the next week (my memory sucks!)

I'm sorry.That was just terrible

EDIT: GOD DAMMIT CHALLENGE!!!!!

I played the fiddle from the age of 6 to about 14 but I had absolutely no interest in trad music at all,hated it. I think it really helped me develope a sense of rhythm early though so I'm glad I learnt to play an instrument,I just wish it could've been something more useful (for me).

I got a bass last October and I love it,play it every day. I started off with easy punk stuff but I've started listening to and playing more genres,thrash,death,prog etc.

BEST SONG EVER! First Rush tune I learnt to play all the way through on bass

I've okayed the fiddle since fourth class, but gave up lessons after christmas because of the big LC, and never regretted it. I grew to intensely dislike my teacher who never treated me differently since I first started as a wee little ten year old. :mad: I also play guitar a bit, I can play piano, I played it til fourth class, and I got recorder lessons til around third class I think... I got a synthesizer for Christmas too! That was the best present ever! I don't play it enough though... My brothers have a drum kit, which I woefully play, but makin noise is fun!

And this thread has inspired me to learn a new song. I'm gonna go for some pink floyd I think.... :eek: YAY!

KnifeWRENCH

I got a bass guitar a few years ago, but I'm too lazy to teach myself and too stubborn to get lessons so I can only play a few songs. I keep telling myself I'm gonna learn it eventually.

Also used play tin whistle and button accordion before it dawned on me that I didn't paricularly like traditional music.

I don't really play an instrument. However, I can play the guitar.

Insect Overlord

Guitar player here, as I'm sure I've mentioned once or twice before...

banjopaul

Yep! Love playing music, wouldn't be life without it to be honest. Play a few nights a week usuallly, at gigs, sessions, practices etc.
I play banjo, mandolin, tin whistle, low whistle and I'm learning whistle! Go on the trad!:)

Dmullar

I was forced to learn tin whistle in primary school *shudders*.


Then i picked up the guitar almost 4 years ago, and I got a keyboard for christmas this year but haven't had time to take lessons yet.:o

Oh, and I have a couple of harmonicas in my room that i'd like to learn how to play!

mardybumbum

Well I play the guitar A LOT. Have about seven lying around the house. Also tinkle around on the piano but I kinda suck at it.

Completely forgot, I also play the ukelele

Richard Cranium

I think I can safely assume I am the only trombone player here.:D

I don't have any grades in it but I have been playing for around 8 years, and I'm in a reasonably successful brass band. Last year our trombone section won Best Brass Section in a competition in west Cork. I was playing first trombone too so I got to go up and accept the prize.

Anyone else here in a brass band, and willing to admit it?

Kersmash

Bass, I love messing with my effects I dabble in guitar too.

MultiUmm

The recorder!Hah!:D

Still have to suffer it through because of music class at school. :rolleyes:

Well of course you won't be any good at it if the keys are wet.

I'm extremely talented.

Not only can I play the entire Rugrats theme tune on the Piano, but I've also got that "Every breath you taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake" song DOWN on the recorder.

It sucks that the recorder has such a bad reputation.

Been playing 12 years, have my Senior Cert in it.

It really is a beautiful instrument when played properly, though most people seem to regard it as a toy, and have no idea that it's an extremely old instrument, that there are several different types and that there is a large amount of material written specifically for it.

Also been playing guitar for 8 years. I'm too lazy to learn anything anymore though, so I just improvise. Gotten pretty good at it actually.
