So, I guess it's the woods for me, whether beaten, blown through, or strummed/picked into.
Wood = Good. :)

One of my favorite obscure bands was composed of a slide bass, saxophone and a drummer with a simple trap set. Weird orchestration, but they rocked out with it. Example.
Bagpipes
Guitar
Saxophone
A free sample of truly God-like playing of slide guitar. Music starts at 1:21.
Those fellas have a new fan, Lemur. Maybe my emphasis on wood was misplaced: it's really percussion that moves me - assuming Bass is a percussive.Quote:

Mind you, I know fiddle-players personally... they're a little out there, having to tune opposite of guitars. :) Nevertheless, I admit to enjoying a rousing jig. And the power of 20 of them in a symphony.Quote:

5. Sythesized Beats
6. Lap Steel Guitar
1. Piano. Can't beat it.
2. Slap bass.
3. Hammond organ.
1.guitar
2.didgeridoo
3.bagpipes
1. Keyboards, Especially a mellotron and a hammond organ. It's amazing the amount of emotional depth that a good keyboardist can add to a band.
2. A good, varied bassist, actually a good rhythm section in general makes a band a lot more fun to listen to.
3. Slow, emotional guitar solos, such as the one on Time, by Pink Floyd.
Oh, I'm definitely a drums'n'bass fan at heart, with a special soft sport for slide. One of my all-time favorite hard-thumpin' songs.Quote:

Bass, fingered or slapped. NOT plucked.
Slide guitar.
Trumpet.
1. The voice of this one friend I have. Its incredible.
2. The flute.
3. 1983 Casio DG-20 electric guitar
Set to electric mandolin
Some drums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT5A...eature=related
piano, taiko drum and cello in the top three
human voice and guitar coming close second.
The cello, without doubt.
The Irish harp moves me too and there is little to compare to a full blooded cathedral organ. I also adore the harpsichord, but that makes four.
Saxophone oh so first. I'll just list female voices as an instrument, why not. Piano.
Trumpet (Nothing like a trumpet-driven ska/punk song to fire you up or a downbeat ballad with a trumpet solo)
Any kind of percussion, particularly taiko (Rythm is how life cycle goes around)
Violin (Closest to the frequency of human voice, can trigger any emotions within)
Guitar, bass guitar and drums, whilst being manned by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, respectively.
1. saxophone
2. trumpet
3. bagpipes
1. Violin
2. Trumpet
3. Piano.
I prefer a "softer" style of music, generally, as opposed to a "harder" style. I generally prefer a trumpet on mellower notes, though a livelier tune can be nice as well.
Kora: hear the Light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9pw...eature=related
Bombard: here is an Asturian tune, but the Bombard is (was...) only used in Brittany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SiC...e=channel_page
Rabab: just a beauty of an Afghan popular tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx-u_-hpxN4
guitar
cello (i dunno why)
drums
French horn
cello
voice
And myriad others.
Ajax
Anything with great songwriting, rhythm, harmony, vocals, and melody.
Percussion (drum & bass)
Vocals
Horns, Strings, Keyboard, Piano etc. (except I don't like Harmonica and Blues guitar).
As an example, one of my contemporary favorites: Esperanza Spalding (performing "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder). I knew she's really special ever since I've heard (her old band) Noise For Pretend's rendition of Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet". :thumbsup:
Only 3? That's not fair! I'll do it the other way around 3 instruments I dont like...
1. Saxophone (in general, there are exceptions of course as always).
2. Crappy synthesizer sounds (think '80's and your'e dead on target).
3. Accordion (in general, there are exceptions of course as always)
4. Bonus treat: Crappy drum-machines.... (There are good ones as well, you know).
Done... So what's next?!?
- Cheers
1) Drehleier or hurdy-gurdy
2) Squeezebox or diatonic button accordeon.
3) Bouzouki
Piano
Violin
Electric Guitar (:smash:)
1 Spanish guitar
2 Alt-sax
3 Accoustic Bass
4 Cello
5 Piano
6 Electric Guitar
7 Drums
1. Erhu
2. Cello
3. Guitar
synthesizer (:mellow:)
Keyboard (versatile)
Electric Guitar (groovy)
1. Trombone (or another brass horn of some sort)
2. Piano
3. Guitar Synthesizers
French Horn
Cello
Picking a third is tough. Drums and synthesizer are probably the top picks for the last position, but many other instruments can fill that spot if played the right way.
HeHe, I thought that was just something the Swedish chef says :clown:Quote:

Yeah, I already googled it, but I swear the swedish chef on the muppets Sings Hurdy gurdy amongst all the rest of his gibberish.Quote:

Of course each of those for different music.
1. Tuba - Because I play it, and it's awesome
2. Electric Guitar - Same reasons
3. Anything Thom Yorke touches
I take it you don't listen to Jethro Tull.Quote:

Violin, in the hands of none other than the great Grapelli.
Piano, with the late Oscar Peterson.
Difficult to pick the last one, I'm torn between trumpet (Chet Baker), Saxophone (Stan Getz or Charlie Parker), and guitar (Django, who else?)
If I had the powers of Frankenstein for just one night, I'd resurect them all, fly with them down to the South of France (Cannes, probably), find a venue right on the sea, pick up some toothsome fillies, and enjoy my own private heaven.
Hendrix? Duane Allman? Son House? Robert Johnson? Elmore James? Stevie Ray Vagaun?Quote:
