    Default What instruments can you play or would you like to learn?

    In junior high(6th and 7th grade) I was in band and played the trumpet. I could play it decently but never very well.

    In High School I picked up the bass and played it for few years. I could play fairly well imo. I eventually stopped playing for reasons I don't remember.

    Here recently I bought an acoustic guitar because I would really love to learn to play guitar.

    Anyone else here play any instruments?

    I cannot play any, but if I could, it would be the Harmonica. That and the violin are my favorite instruments.

    I was forced to play piano as a kid, I can barely bang out 'Chopsticks' now. If I was to take up music again, I would probably go with drums.

    Ehm, okay.

    - Guitar
    - Irish bouzouki
    - Mandolin
    - Keyboard
    - Harmonica
    - Bagpipes
    - Diatonic button accordion
    - Flute

    That's it for now. The last time I touched bagpipes was last summer, and it sounded horribly. However, I used to be quite good on my cornemuse du centre.

    I tried the clarinet when I was a child. I lacked any musical talent whatsoever and quickly gave up. I did want to learn to play the piano as well at the time but it never materialized. I am musically inept I guess you could say.

    Unfortunately, I am musically retarded. I find it incredibly difficult for some reason to learn instruments, and thus have given up the attempt.

    However I would love to learn how to play guitar. Chicks love guys who can play guitar (and sing)

    I can play guitar pretty well and to some degree I can play violin (very very mediocre and still heard like shrieking cat, compared with the former)

    can't play the rest

    In high school I played the French Horn, and was pretty good at it. I've been out of practice for years, though. Prior to that I played cornet. I've never learned to play them, but I'm a big fan of the cello and the harp.

    Currently my primary instrument is the tenor voice.

    I tried a few string and wind instruments and although I've never excelled in any, I can still play them to various degrees. Then I took up percussion. I played the Kudüm and the Bendir professionally for years. Recently I've been studying Latin percussion, namely the Cajón and some Bongo.

    I play no instruments. However, I would like to learn to play the lute and the lyre (ancient Rome and Greece).

    I know the basic fundamentals of the piano/synth/other keyboard-based instruments.

    I want to be able to play the piano good and proper one day. My ultimate goal would be to play my favourite piano tracks publicly and busk around my city with some overrated high-end digital piano (and if possible, with a hot female guitarist + violinist + flautist accomplice). :D

    How about Tosa Inu and the Orgy?... Could be an adult band.

    I play drums, but I'd really like to give bass a go. Slap bass would be awesome, I'd love to smash out the Seinfeld theme song!

    Once upon a time I was quite an active vocalist, but like any instrument if you don't practice you lose your ability to use it. Don't think I'd dare singing for fear of making children cry.

    Classical-trained pianist from age 7-19. Slave-driver Asian mother made sure we practiced two hours a day, everyday (even on our birthdays and holidays), once in the morning, one after school. Burned out on classical music after a couple of semesters at Uni, as I had the rock 'n roll bug big time. I spent a brick load of cash on a professional rig, joined a band--the first of several--and spent five years in touring nightclub bands, making a modest living and having tons of fun. So yeah, I'm a pianist/leyboardist, and get a kick out of mimicking any instrument I can think of using custom-made synthesizer patches and digital samples. Jan Hammer (guitarish keyboardist) is a fave.

    I haven't played in a long time, but I'll get back to it eventually. I still have many of my old keys, though I'm sure they're in need of some work at this point.
