Do you play an instrument?

[zen5887]

2 and bit years of bass..

Mr Mcgee - Im gonna be honest.. I hate the thunderbird. I owned one last year as my 2nd bass and yeah.. Hate. I cant get over the neck dive, as soon as I took my hands of the thing the neck went right down and the strap came off... Then theres the tone issue.. You can have low and muddy or low and muddy. Its an allright tone if your Kings of Leon [http://youtube.com/watch?v=UEh8OL0Jj-0] but if you want to play a bunch of diffrent styles then its useless. I've got a fender jazz now which is defently the most comfy, best looking and tone aweosme bass I've played.

Dispite the handycap that is the thunderbird you played pretty well! Maybe like.. Bend your left wrist so your thumb is touching the back of the fretboard.. That will give you a much bigger span then if your all cramped up (somthing I learnt from my teacher =P)

Im gonna be a rock star one day (phht..)

Aw man... I'm so jealous that you've got a fender jazz. My first bass was a fender jazz imitation. How much did it cost you? Those things are damn expensive. I bought my thunderbird a while ago and since I'm self taught I actually know bugger all about issues of tone. Though I think you can get a decent variety of sounds out of it - http://youtube.com/watch?v=dLGtmBagbuM I should be a lot better than I actually am, since I've been playing for 7 years now.

The neck plunge is a bit of a bugger, but I make the sacrifice because I love the way it looks. Plus it's fine if you just keep your hands on it.

I can play the guitar badly. I sing better than I can play though.

Electric and of course acoustic guitar although I almost never touch my acoustic since electric is so much more fun and flexible in the sound department.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I'm a drummer, play acoustic guitar as well =]
I also produce music for people and make music with Protools and Reason.
It's all good =D

I play electric guitar in band; I suck, hate playing full chords and no way can play bar chords, but one thing I've learned is that simple music can still be good music. Just look at 'Smoke on the Water'...really simple riff that's legendary!

I've been drumming for quite a while now (since 1992) and while I have'nt been in a band since 2001 (I dedicated my self full time to my profession) I still play my drumset everyday and every once in a while get together with some friends to do some jamming.

I play violin and I'm currently learning guitar.

 

[khufu23]

I play the piano, but don't own one (only have a keyboard) and I own a guitar but can't play it.
Hmmm... somethings wrong somewhere

 

[R31NDR]

I'm seriously considering taking up learning guitar, my suster has an old accoustic that needs re-stringing so it would be a start. I guess Rock Band drums don't count?

 

[y8c616]

I play elecrtic guitar, have done for 5 years, and do so in a shred-metal fasion

for those who care, i have a Gibson les Paul custom (retrofit with emg's) and a Dean FBD ML

 

[J9387]

I've been playing percussion for about 5 years now. I love marimba and the drumset, but my real affinity is the marching tenors.

 

[CSherman]

I play violin and I'm currently learning guitar.

Violin is an insturment of total perfection, you get my respect if you're good at that.
(and no, guitars are definatly not, you ever heard Nirvana?)

Yeah after eight years of violin learning guitar feels like cheating, frets are pretty damn easy.

 

[Ciarog]

I play banjo when I'm really bored. No good at it though.

 

[Papaya Melancholy]

I can play the acoustic guitar, the kalimba, the hulusi, and I have an erhu (which I never use.)

The kalimba is a West African instrument also known as the Mbira or thumb piano.

The hulusi is a free reed instrument played by the Dai peoples of Yunnan province, China.

The erhu is one of the most famous classical chinese instruments, and is often described as a fiddle.
