Musical instruments

[RJM]

I play Guitar, it's a great way to waste time, and making up funny songs is pretty fun.

Bass geeee-tarrr! I only have it for messing around with, and i'll never play 'seriously', but I can get by, i'm all self-taught. I'm crap at making stuff up though, I just sit there with bass tabs and work them out.

I'm all for the piano! I learned the basics when I was 9 or 10, stopped, and picked up again about a year and a half ago. Its very fun! There's not much like a good ol' Joplin rag.

Whhhooooooaaaa!!!! :shock:
I never realised so many people played instruments on this forum. MattB, great idea. Although there would be a heck of a lot of organisation involved. Well, I'm impressed.

I play the cello. And I also vaguely know how to play the piano.

I can read 4 clefs easily and one not so. Bass, Tenor, Treble and Soprano are simple. But Alto confuses me for some reason..

Grade 7 on the cello. I would've done grade 8 but I can't do the aural tests. They're really hard and I hate singing back from memory.

I used to be awsome at the trumpet, but complications and a sucky new teacher stopped me from continueing.

Its been a while since Ive played the trumpet and now I feel like a lazy bum with no talents, so I want to play something again. I have my mind set on this beautiful fender precision bass that we've owned for 30 years now.

Play the guitar as its great fun for messing about with, whenever i'm bored I kick out a few power chords, something very satisfying about making lots of noise. Would love to the have the time to actually practise and become semi good.

I play guitar and bass, but guitar is my main instrument. Bass is just when there's no guitars around :lol:

I've been playing for 3 years now. I'm not great, but I guess I can play some technical stuff pretty well. Meh, I'm a metal guitarist, technicality is a must.

I'd say I take it pretty seriously, I'm in a band and we're close to recording our first demo (We've only been together 3 months). I just love playing.

I used to play the keyboard but quit since I couldn't read music. I'd really like to play guitar or drums, then i could join a band.

Fi. I dont read music. And i play piano aswell. Doing it from memory is so much easier IMO, and i hate to read music.

But maybe im the only one who doesnt read music for their instrument?

 

[jayjay]

I think I should set up a thread in the members board to allow poeple to record their music and put it on the internet. Good idea dya think?

I play the leccy guitar. Had guitars for three or four years, and Iv'e had lessons for the last year 1/2 - 2 years. I also play a tiny bit of keyboard.

 

[robbeal]

I can read music to an extent, but I don't for playing bass. I just use tablature off the Internet. I used to play keyboard at primary school too, used to read music when I was playing that.

I can't get over the fact that people can read music. It's like a whole different language. I admire that!

Kir it's easy as hell - you could probably learn most of it in an hour or two.
