    Default what music instruments do you play? (...right now?:p)

    like the titles says...

    I play the guitar (electric/classic/lil' bit of bass) and I try to drum a bit too.
    I play tabs but I also play classical music from books.
    So what about you?

    I play aucostic guitar. And I have a harmonica, though I'm no good.

    And what kind of music do you play with it, Bob Dylan style?

    I usually play Roch-hard rock (lots of nirvana cause it's so easy)
    I'm also thinking of playing harmonica, my grandfather played it but he died not so long ago.

    Piano rather well (mainly jazzy stuff, improvisations), guitar and bass quite well from playing in a couple of minor bands and some drumming.

    Classical piano, cello and singing. Saying I play the guitar (acoustic) would be optimistic at best

    Electric bass to a reasonable standard. Mostly fingerstyle stuff, with some slap.

    Keyboards. Synthesizers and rock organ. Not great, but good enough to have fun. Deep Purple and Floyd mostly. Terrible left hand base line but my right hand is like lightning.

    guitar(acoustic, that I got free from my grandma's attic not like I'm gonna buy an electric or an amp)
    and I'm pretty good on the harmonica, but only have a C, so playing stuff in A sounds kinda strange, but who cares.
    And when I jam with friends I got pretty low pipes so I do some JLH "boom boom, haw haw" stuff.

    I play can play some Dylan, but also some harder stuff like Neil or the Dead. I try and stick to easy strumming stuff without power chords because I can never get it to sound nice on my aucostic. So mainly a few chord sort of stuff, though my guitar teacher is helping me expand my style and strech out to more complecated stuff.

    Electric bass, acoustic guitar and stylophone (whadya mean y'aint never heard of a stylophone...Rolf Harris plays 'Stairway to Heaven' on his.. .)
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    cool, powerchords don't sound that good as on a acuostic guitar as they do on an electric but I think if played a bit gently (can't find a better word) and controlled they sound okay (it's usually the E which does it, i think).

    I usually play some hardrock or some 90's rock (everybody knows them and can sing a long) and a few classics.

    I seemed wrong, there are more musicians than I tough...so who more plays music

    I play the stereo, Windows Media Player and LimeWire Pro
    I usually play WMP, winamp,...
    don't like Limewire to play music.

    trumpet and keyboard. But the keyboard is just to mess around with chord structure and make techno (most of which is done on the computer).
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."

    Electric and acoustic guitar though lately i dont have much time. My bro is sound engineer so we collectively have 8 guitars (1 classic, 2 acoustic, 5 electrics) and 2 big amplifiers, along with midi keyboards and many effects and pedals. If we continue like this we will have to leave the room to the instruments. Basically I play metal but also alot of rock-hard rock stuff. My bro is also very fond of nu-metal stuff, Im more old fashioned.
