Big ol' Thread o' Musically-minded Escapists!

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

My main instrument is guitar. I've been playing for a few years now. I mostly play metal, but, with the band I'm in, we play more rock than metal. Punk's pretty fun to play as well.

I can also play bass guitar, which I've played for a year or so, and it's pretty fun. I'm not so good with finger-picking though, so I still play with a pick.

I can play drums, but not very well. I need much mroe practice before I can say I play with any real conviction.

Finally, I can play piano, but its been a while since I last played.

Oh and forgot to add that I play the Guitar Hero controller, and am learning how to play the Rockband controller.

I know a little guitar but I want to be a drummer.

 

[Bofus Teefus]

Played guitar right up until I went back to school...so seven years since I last played. Geesh.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Singing and coding SuperCollider (a programming language for audio maniplation)

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

I play piano (16 years) and sax (10 years). Which, given that I'm only 20, is a really bloody long time.

I usually go for jazz, but have been known to branch out into latin and funk.

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Been playing guitar for about 3 years, still haven't found my personal style, I enjoying playing everything really, apart from real clean, almost acoustic, eletric stuff. If I ever play something like Summer Rain by U2 on my electric, even with myself set up for acoustic, I just can't feel it, so always got my distortion on.

Picked up abass around a year ago, that's pretty hand, I can only really play hard rock stuff though, I'm pretty much a poor mans Duff Mckagan on bass.

Also dabble in button accordion, harmonic and have aquired a digerido, but can't seem to crack it.

Going to music college next year, so hoping to make some kind of a living off of it soon enough.

 

[Anarchemitis]

I'll go fetch the user Jamanticus, and rib him for still not recording himself.

 

[Srkkl]

Drums, basically anything but those garbage "blast beats." I've been teaching myself for about a year and I'm very heavy into the classic rock, but punk beats are highly entertaining, I like seeing how fast I can play.

 

[theSovietConnection]

I play bass, just bought a Epiphone Thunderbird, beautiful instrument and a great sound, but its a little on the heavy side.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I played trumpet all through elementary school and had lessons. I can still play, but I don't anymore. Then in high school I moved on to teaching myself guitar. I've been playing guitar ever since.

 

[Rajin Cajun]

I used to play the clarinet. I haven't touched it since High School though.
