What instrument(s) do u play?

[lemonlime]

Well I wanted to know how many people here play, Personaly I play guitar.
Just wanted to know, how long have you been playing?, what songs can you play? etc. Not just guitar, anything.

;)

[Helious]

I own a sitar. No idea how to play it. Got it and a string broke. Otherwise i might have learned. Let me tell you its impossible to find someone who can string a sitar in northern indiana. So now i have a neat room ornimate that smells like pumpkin.

[mageofdeath]

[DragonSlayer]

I can play guitar but I have only played for 7 weeks and it was only a course in school. I can play easy songs and stuff but no more. :<

I know how to play some piano too.

[BartXP]

I have played keyboard / syntesizer for 7 years but i recently stopped with my lessons because it became rather boring.. But I still play it quite often.

[Unikkoinen]

I've played the flute for seven years now. I usually play classical music but I like playing modern music also. I'm not very good after all. I also love singing. Music is an important part of my life. It would be nice to meet another flute players.

[Kaede]

ive played teh drum kit. (oh, and BartXP, i use that av somewhere too!)

[BartXP]

ive played teh drum kit. (oh, and BartXP, i use that av somewhere too!)Well possible, but it's not like i've stolen it or something :s i shot it from an ep and cut it to avatar size, so i didn't directly steal it from you or something, but if you wish, i'll find another av..

[Ainsin]

I can play guitar (well, but not well enough to play Tool songs :/ ). I can also play the didgeridoo really well! :)

[Kaede]

Well possible, but it's not like i've stolen it or something :s i shot it from an ep and cut it to avatar size, so i didn't directly steal it from you or something, but if you wish, i'll find another av..

no no no no no no! not at all! im not complaining, i was just saying that i had also used it. thats all. im just saying i like it :)

[Shikamaru]

I can play both bass and acoustic, though I mostly stick with acoustic. I can play drums too, but I sold my drumset a while ago, because I just didn't like playing the damn thing.

[Setherial]

As my profile says, I can play the guitar, violin, and drums. I am currently in a Black Metal band, mentioning what songs I can play would be pointless because I know that less than half of you would know them, which is a good thing. Death to False Metal.

[Hyuuga Neji]

i can play.....

- guitar (4 years)
- bass guitar (4 years)
- piano/keyboards (1 year)
- harp (2 years)
- harmonica (5 years)
- mandolin (4 years)
- violin (9 years)
- game boy (10... hmmm, wait a sec!)

that's it... i'm studing music so what did you expect! ;)

[Altered]

I can play guitar, drums, and bass. I am pretty damn good at all 3. Even got a band thing going :)

[Faraday]

Well, I play drums, but the guitarist in our band is awesome, I could show you what I meant if we recorded (we will eventually, we just keep having delays) but until then you'll just have to take my word for it. :D

[xrotarydudex]

I play guitar, just started a couple of months ago, i can play a lot of songs from red hot chilli peppers and Sum 41.

[erthay]

I use to play bass guitar in a few bands, some of them groove and jazz, some other rock and punk, some other rythm'n'blues. And I use to play Clarinette, which is quite a cool instrument, as long as you don't play too much of Mozart and Bach^^.

[Saga-Sama]

i'm the vocals for my band.... we're death and black metal fans... neways... i play guitar solos.... i also can play drums keyboard and my favorite instrument the violon! :D

[lemonlime]

Well, I play drums, but the guitarist in our band is awesome, I could show you what I meant if we recorded (we will eventually, we just keep having delays) but until then you'll just have to take my word for it. :D

I'd love to hear it :)

seems there are alot of people here who have their own band, maybe somebody should make a thread about that :D I wish I could join a band or start one, but I dont know ANYBODY else who plays or anything like that. Cuz I dont go to public school, of course going to public school is something you just SHOULDN'T do in sothern california.

[Sorako]

I've played violin for five or six years and have now switched to viola. I also sing in two choires.

[Saga-Sama]

cool.... but didn't u like violin or was it too hard?

[-Jiraiya-]

I play bass guitar, some acoustic guitar, and I'm starting Mandolin. The sound nins should play musical instruments.... well maybe that would be gay...................

[Baka-san]

[Avecilla]

[Kaede]

Bass is nice. all base base base... but i like lots of sorts of bases.

[sasuken]

i play the drums

[Sorako]

cool.... but didn't u like violin or was it too hard?

No, viola is practically the same as violin, but instead of an high "e" chord, it has an additional deep "c" chord (or is "string" the word? ^^''). Because it is bigger, it has a deeper and warmer sound (which I love a lot ^.^). You have to do more work with the bow to get a nice sound out of it, though... oh, and the notes are written in viola clef instead of violin clef, which is rather annoying if you've only known violin clef before... ~__~

[Kaede]

woot! me too!

[LizX19]

I don't know how yet, but I plan on learning guitar, bass guitar, drums (really want to learn drums), piano (more thoroughly, I know a bit), and any other instrument I can get my hands on. I love music :)

Oh, and violin!! I love the sound of violins, I really want to learn that as well.

[ND_Shikamaru]

yea. . . i play electric bass. . . i dont like acostic bass. . . and then james_kakashi plays drums. . . we're in the progress of making a band. . . we need 2 find sum more ppl tho. . . haha. . . also we're kinda stuck on a band name so if ne of u guys have ne 2 offer. . . that'd b great. . .

[Nerf Herder]

I play in marching band (yeah I know, I'm sure that just sounds so exciting to you guys), I can play trumpet but I really play french horn, as in it's my primary instrument, and I know a crapload of old school video game themes. I'm also in the process of learning guitar right now. Can't play much yet...aside from Zelda and Mario Brothers and some random classic rock stuff. Eventually I'll get better and I can start a garage band. w00t!

[Kaede]

we used to have a band... but its long... we aint anymore.

[aLkeMiSt]

I'm pissed off... I was suppose to have a guitar class in school, but they didn't add it to my schedule, so I never got to learn. =(

[MR.Amen]

Im learning guitar ^-^ have been learning on and off for approx. 2-3months. It's quite hard seeming as I have hardly any musical talent/knowledge. I can play bits and bobs of Iron Maiden and Bad Religion and some other simple stuff oh and 'old mcdonald' :D Looks like soloing is a long way off!

[Sabakunoneji]

i used to play piano and violin but then i ditched them and now i play guitar have been for 2 yrs :)

[onlythestrongest]

[lemonlime]

I only have an acoustic guitar, I got it like 6 months ago, first guitar I've ever owned and I'm still learning :D What I really wanted was a cherry red electric guitar. I didn't have enough money at the time though, I'm really impationt and I wanted a guitar badly so I just bought what I could afford : a Jay Jr. acoustic guitar (I'm not all that keen on brand names n whatnot :D) with all the other stuff I got (guitar cover, picks, books with DVD on how to play) The guitar itself was like 75 dollars... All of it came out to be over 130 dollars I had JUST enough. I know a bunch of chords and I can read music fairly well, but I still cant to the b chord, DAMNIT! And I still cant play any songs :D

[Sarachi]

Ehh dont worry youll get the hang of it sooner or later, just dont give up ^_^

[sasukesrose]

I'm just a vocalist. haha, but I can play bass x]. I'm not good at guitar or drums but I do have both. I have my bass, electric guitar, classical guitar, and a crappy drum set haha. I'm somewhat of a pianist, but I can't read music I just write in the letters and memorize haha. I can play part of Phantom Of The Opera [bass, people, bass! lol] by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Honey Baby by Three Plus, Zephyr Song by Chilli Peppers, Wiseman by ..I forgot lol, She Wants To Move by N.E.R.D, C'mon C'mon by Von Bondies. I've been trying to play Incubus songs, but I only know parts lol I can't seem to learn the whole song. -shrugs- yep.. =]

[Unikkoinen]

That's just awesome :amazed especially because mostly everybody is just covering songs using the more popular instruments. I must say those songs you mentioned are very suitable to be played on the piano. Very good picks indeed.

[Tastadoda]

I own a Clarinet for Marching/Concert band and then I hope to get a Tenor Sax for Jazz.

[Kaguya]

I have a guitar..i think it's fender. I havent played it in awhile...i suk at it :P.

[Aruka]

[Inactive Spirit]

[Crucifixation]

Hmm. A keyboard, a bass (not mine) and a concert guitar (not mine either). But they're all in my room, so I guess that counts.

Oh yea. My PURPLE plastic translucent recorder!

[ageofdarkness]

I have a piano, Stieff & Sohn style, quite old. I learn very quickly
and I can play many songs smoothly in less than two weeks time,
and memorize in a months time. I'm talking about late-intermediate
songs. For very advanced songs, such as the 3rd movement of Moonlight
Sonata, it took me two months to play smoothly, five months to
play it at the required tempo, and six months to memorize it. Still
nothing compared to some of my friends, though. :)

[Zhongda]

Piano
Broken Guitar (dont ask)
Flute
Drums

and i play NONE of them :s actually my brothr does!

[nightangel]

I don't really own any insturments.
But I want to get a guitar.

[SabakuKyuu]

A large Jug and a rubber band tied to a chair that makes noise like a guitar......



Piano

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Violin, used to be godly but I really suck now...
Recorder ^ ^
Warlock Electric Guitar, only a poser tool, I don't practice enough...

I wish I had enough time to practice everything cool and still have time for a life...

[Keramachi]

For me, it's the Alto Saxaphone, and I want to learn how to play bass guitar. Anyone else?

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Clarinet(I'm actually good) and Guitar (I wish)

[^SereGod//]

All hail the guitar...

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

That makes you awesome. I love that song.

[Violence Fight]

Hell yeah! :P

Mnn... well ok then... Just a little... :)
The only song possible playing from that series of games anyway :/


Er. No. I can easily play Alot of FF6's songs on my guitar. Mostly Kefka's Theme, The Main Battle Theme, and the Boss Battle Theme(Which has a Badass intro that sounds like slayer if played at the same speed).


anyway, as for instruments. I play the guitar, and from that, I can play that Piano. Give me enough time to figure out where notes are on an instrument and I can play about anything.

[Kuchiyose[NO]Jutsu]

Piano :laugh (I can play half of Wind! XD) and I wish Guitar!

[spiderpig]

Hmmm, I can play the Alto Sax, and the piano.

[Kno7]

Jutsu']Piano :laugh (I can play half of Wind! XD) and I wish Guitar!

I can play the entertainer..

[chibified kitsunes]

piano and clarinet

[basiK]

i had a acoustic guitar that i used to play untill i killed it

[Malice]

I play the drums doing random gigs generally in the jazz society with musicians two to three times my age! Also, I've marched snare drum and bass drum in East Lake marching bands and we were the Florida state champions last season. I can play otherworld on the drums, but that's easy. I can play the majority of Tool's Lateralus (minus some double bass, considering I can only get 16th notes on the bass drum up to maybe 160 tops due to only having single bass pedal).

[^SereGod//]

Marching Band all the way, man. (flame and you get PWNED! :kkchidori) Congratulations on your band's victory, by the way.

[Malice]

Thanks, it kinda sucked though. It started raining right when we got on the field and after the last bands for semi's played, final's got called off because the fields were "unsafe", and since we had the highest score going into finals, we got the title. The seniors were pissed, moreso than everyone else, cause we had a better show in us. But, eh, whatever. It was fun. The show this year was nuts though. Here's the music. (http://www.keypoulan.com/marching.html) Click on heartbeat. The 3rd movement, Heart Attack, is the craziest. Musicwise, it's just there, and for the drill, it was power set after power set. Most of the time we're jazz running it, and at 185-200, that's kinda tiresome. Our drill was done by one of the lead drill writers for drum corps, and the fact that we're the smallest band to ever get a state championship title (82 members) was pretty cool too.

[Yaman]

used to play the violin, i need to go back to playing it.

[mary no jutsu]

piano,any percussion instrument, clarinet, i can conduct

My marching band played his Locomotion for our last show. My band's a group 5, (111 members) which means that we are in the most competitive group of marching band, group 5 open. And it is vicious. In our all-state championships we were marching in 32-33 degree weather, but we still marched our best show. Our drill was crazy, though. In movement 4, end of the line, we had to dash across the field. (16 steps in 4 counts, a distance of about 10 yards)

Mary no jutsu, are you a drum major?

[Malice]

I don't know which is worse, marching in 32 in full uniform or marching in 100+ in full uniform..But N.C. has some crrrrazy good marching bands.

[Keramachi]

100+ degree weather in full uniform? Yikes... NJ has some pretty damn good bands, too. Immaculata HS (VERY prestigious school, people convert to Catholisicm just to go there) marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a couple years back, and we had to compete against them. Many times over. Dosen't that sound fun?

But, I should probably be keeping this thread on topic.

[Malice]

Haha, yeah. But maybe they win because they're good. We have Tarpon Springs High who litterally plays the same show with the exception of a few notes and a page or two of drill every year for the past 7 years. They flood the field with props so you can't see how crappy their drummer is, they use the same flags and the same annoying talking guy every year, their notes are generally scales, they don't have a drumline, and last but not least, their backfield drummer has a metrenome in his ear (yes, this has all been proven). But somehow, every year at every BOA event, they win.

[aNk0_LaNe]

The door......................................hahahaha hahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahaha
just kiddin.....
I'm learning guitar

[Violence Fight]

Man, alot people are playin drums these days. Three years ago we were the minority.


your still the minority. Come to st. Louis, Where for every 40 guitar players, theres approximatly 0.25 drummers.

seriously. we need drummers like germans need beer.

[NocturnalMe]

I'm really good at the xylophone. Whenever we used to play it school i was the best. I also know a few guitar chords but prefer the bass. I played flute for a year. I can play right-handed piano, tambourine, the electric organ and the recorder as well! I do a little of everything but I'm exceptional at nothing.

Yep... I can see it now... Getting all this rep for being such a great guitarist :P

[Erkekjetter]

I play guitar. I only have a shitty acoustic, but I'm saving up for a Gibson SG.

[hokageryu]

cool you have a place to buy it at

[Erkekjetter]

Yeah. It's like 400 bucks though.

[Meijin]

Yeah. It's like 400 bucks though.

Get an Epiphone SG, It's better and half the price :amuse

[hokageryu]

i dont think so its not better technecaly gibson and epiphone is the same company but still gibson uses better parts so i wuold pay a bit more and go for the gibson

[Erkekjetter]

That's what I'm doing.

[hokageryu]

good choise are you buying it in a local store or on the net

[shinobda]

I play the piano (typical asian). I want a grand piano + start playing guitar. Well ... My 'word' of wisdom is... never cut off 5 minutes of practice, it adds up. And no matter how hard you try it's never good enough. It's a tough world out there... and when teachers catch you procastinating, they can be jugdemental, very judgemental. It cost more of less $40 dollars for a private lesson. Around $15 for a group thing. But don't start, save yourself.

[hokageryu]

cool it will be a bit easyer to learn guitar because guitar uses treblecleff same as piano so good luck i pay $15 for my lessons

[Erkekjetter]

good choise are you buying it in a local store or on the net

Local store.


I can read music fine, I just don't remember the names of the strings, lol. I just make tabs if the instructor gives us music.

[hokageryu]

is it a big chain store or single thing

[shinobda]

Cool. So hokageryu, are they private lessons? Do you have auditions, recitals? I don't know, maybe that's a stupid question. Curious is all.

[hokageryu]

private lessons my teacher is great guitar player

[shinobda]

So I see, for how long now?

[Keramachi]

I play the alto sax. I've had the same one since fourth grade, and it's still in great condition. The sound's good, and I play some improvisational jazz on it, in addition to regualr marching band and school stuff.

[martryn]

I've been playing guitar for eight years. I'm not really any good as I can't play bar chords to save my life, but I can sure as hell finger pick the mother. My favorite song to play is Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You by Zepplin. I also know how to play the piano and harmonica.

Never took lessons, and never really want to. Unless its a good friend or something who wants to show me something.

I want to own a guitar that my friend CB builds. He's really good at building them, and has quite a selection now, so just having one by him would be an honor (he is a friend of mine, so it would be cool to play on something he built. *shrug*).

[hokageryu]

cool about the lessons thing i used to think that it was a wasted of time and thats why i never took one till a cuple month ago and i realy think that not taking em erlyer was the mistake ive been playing for about 8 years and i sucked mi playing was horrible and now
after a cuple month im a god na just kiting but i can play Speed of light by Stratobarius and Hate me by Children of bodom so you be the judge

[Erkekjetter]

is it a big chain store or single thing


I don't know. Ever heard of American Music Store?

I've been taking lessons there for 6 months. I'm not too bad. I can't play bar chords on my acoustic though.

[SYNTHETICINHILIATION]

Viola for just about a year now, and I'm skipping my grade 1 exam and starting on grade 2!

Yesh! :P

[hokageryu]

whats viola sorry for asking but never heard of it before hehehe

[Inochi no Fushigi]

Because I'm a lazy ass, I refuse to read through this thread. Mwuaha.

I can play the piano, SOME of the guitar (I was almost a year into my lessons before things came up and I had to quit), some of the flute (a hobby I adandoned as a child), and violin. I'm sure there are more I've experimented with, but I just can't think of them at the moment. I've considered having my friend teach me how to play the drums, but let's just say more things came up and we couldn't get to that.

Before I die, I plan to be able to play maaaaany, many instruments. I love music, I love writing music, and I WILL PREVAIL IN DOING SO!! MWUAHAHAHAHAHA~[/end rant]

Editty goodness:
whats viola sorry for asking but never heard of it before hehehe

It's been about four years since I was in my violin class, but if my memory serves me right; it's like a smaller version of the violin. I'm not sure if there are differences in the strings, or anything, but it just has an all around higher sound than the violin because it's so much smaller.

[aslan]

whats viola sorry for asking but never heard of it before hehehe

[Aznpinoy]

I can play the guitar, Bass, Piano, and I do some vocals if that counts as an instrument , it does to me though.

[Cyanna]

I've played flute for...about 12 years now though I don't sound like it. I've played piccolo for 5 years. In high school I took up trombone so that I could join the jazz band and maybe be a little useful since flutes were kinda shoved aside.

I also sing. I don't think I sing badly but my range sucks. I'm about two notes shy reaching the highest note to be a true alto and two notes shy on the low end to be a true tenor. But I enjoy singing. I haven't done chorus in years but I still do the occasional karaoke (even if it means singing a song that was made famous by a guy).

I've played the saxophone since I was 10, although I haven't played it much the past few years... When I wasn't doing band music I did some jazz and also tried playing in a ska band (that didn't last long, although it was fun). I also know a little piano, and sometimes mess around with my clarinet and cornet.

[Wedge_Antilles]

I've played classical guitar for 17 years and electric guitar for 10 years. I've been in a couple of rock bands, one of which actually made a profit.

I've also been known to provide backing vocals.

[foxStick]

whats a cornet :smile-big

It's a brass instrument that is very similar to the trumpet.

[foxStick]

Well, like I said, I'm not very good, I enjoy playing Jazz and Ska with my saxophone, which I have more experience with. Some of my personal favorites are "Take Five", "Maputo", and "Southern Exposure" (not the song by Yanni :smile-big ) for Jazz, and (during my failed Ska band experiment) "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts", "The Beer Song", and 'Far Behind".

Hopefully over the summer I can have more time to play and actually get decent with the cornet... When you don't have classes that require you to play music, it gets much harder to find time to practice. :notrust

[mow]

Dave Brubeck 's Take Five!!! Man do I love that song. You get a rep for making a reference for the Dave :P

I'm sure you'll get a alot better very soon :thumbs. If you ever record yourself playing, please do share :amuse

[Catatonik]

I make bizarre ambient, creepy background music by myself right now :)

A little something to pass the time until I can actually do something real with my songwriting.

[hokageryu]

What, are you serious *Stares*

[Catatonik]

Yeah.

Fruity Loops, greatest music program ever :)

Give me a way to burn time when I'm really bored and lets me do something musical.

[mow]

Yep, fruity loops is quite the fun program to use. Also ejay (which is sucky but can be still be useful at time) and loopasonic. There are tons of programs on the web that you can use to create your own music.

This makes me want to make a thread for pc music programs now :amuse

[Catatonik]

I stick to Fruity Loops for the moment, though I rerally need more sound patches...

not enough wierd noises for me :D

[mow]

lol, I think I have a cd lying around with some stuff I did using fruity loops. I'll post some of the noise if I can find it :laugh

[Vertlain]

This makes me want to make a thread for pc music programs now :amuse
So make one! Not for me, but for teh ppl who demand it! :wink
Fruity Loops is easy in use, and has quite cool built in effects, and is good enough for me most of the time... at least untill I'm trying to do some progressive stuff with wacky timing. Ejay imo sux, and I'm just too lazy to learn how to use Reason 2.5.
At the moment my FL with additional samples, soundfonts and plugins occupies over 3,5GB of hard drive space, so I've got everything I want, maybe except mentioned "weird noises", and ambient nature sounds...
And since it's musician thread: I also play some guitar, but only in home or with a friend, no real band so far...

[mow]

So make one! Not for me, but for teh ppl who demand it! :wink


I will I will :laugh. But first I want to find as many free programs to add to the resource thread along with reviews for each program. I will post one this weekend :amuse.

If you or Cata would like to contribute, just pm me the info to add in the thread :)

[aslan]

I use FL my self to create dumb beats and other things

I suggest if you want to gte off beats use the piano roll option over the beat map it allows you to input off beats as wells as change the pitch of the pliug-in your using in that channel

alto I've heard better sounding stuff made with Reason (but I have not of yet be able to aquare a copy or reason so I stick to FL)

[hokageryu]

i dont understand, what exactly are you talking about recording progs or special effecs or nither

[Catatonik]

Hokageryu.

It's a program that simulates music creation by allowing you to program thousand of different sounds into a track style formatt.

By playing around with drum beats, it's easy to make bad techno...

for me, it's the wierd stuff I like playing with to make really creepy ambient music that doesn't sound right :)

[mow]

Hoka, dont worry mate, Ill be posting a thread about music creation programs for the pc this weekend hopefully :amuse

yes bad tencho is easy to make on it

but I stress if you want to get the best out of FL use the panio roll ferure

opens up the whole program

I'm aware of that, but it's kind of useless with a bunch of the sound effects. :)

I haven't been playing with it lately, but intend to get back to it...especially after I get a frigging microphone.

any body know of a good recording program

[RealaMoreno]

I play guitar and a little of bass and drums. I make up my own stuff usually, but I can play stuff by RHCP, RAtM, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Hendrix, Santana, Beatles, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Dave Matthews Band, The Seatbelts, Phish, and Chevelle. I like to dabble in everything.

I play the flute and I'm currently starting to get into jazz and improvisation. I guess that can count as composing. :)

I'm getting ready to start up a project with two other guys that I played with be for that allows to use the bass as the lead instrument, somthing that I have expermented with for years but never had a chance to expand on.
