Does the Escapist Play a Musical Instrument?

[Fenring]

I'm quite good at clarinet, I play a little piano, and I play a very little bit of drums.

Yay for clarinets! Yeah clarinet, guitar, bass, tin whistle.

What type of clarinet do you play? B flat, Alto, Bass?

I've played B flat for 9 years. How about you?

Mostly B flat, but I played a little Bass for a while.

People should only say vocals if they have actually had serious intense and consistent vocal training. Because, you know, pretty sure most of us could kind of, you know, make vocal noises.

I play guitar, ish, been teaching myself for a little bit. I also used to play drums, and trombone. And the recorder.

Keyboard

Piano and Bb Clarinet over here.

 

[Beefcakes]

List time:

• 
  + Trombone - 6 years
  + Guitar - 2 years (and still suck)
  + Recorder - 2-3(?) years
  + Piano/Keyboard - 5 years
  + Trumpet - Self taught, time negligible
  + Bass - See above
  + Clarinet - See above
  + Percussion(not drums, theres a difference) - See above
  + Music Captain of my current High School

You might think I'm really good at music, I can read it and all, but its most along the lines of 'jack of all trades - master of none'.
Best at the Trombone though, wow I love that sound...

Note: I didn't think there was a list code in HTML.... Go figure!

I play the clarinet and sometimes the piano.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

I wish I could play the violin.. But unfortunately I'm not very musically gifted.

 

[neuromasser]

I play(ed) guitar.

 

[Plinglebob]

I can play the Trombone (12 years), Euphonium (6 years) and Tuba (6 years). I had lessons for about 6 months on the trombone then dropped those and joined a windband. I'm self taught on the Euph and Tuba.

I mainly play guitar (electric). Have been for about 5 years now. Other than that I'm pretty good on bass (with fingers, not pick) and I've got the drumming skills of someone who's been practicing for about two years (I know more than the basic beats, but double bass is beyond me). Besides that I do vocals sometimes, but I tend to stick to background, while playing guitar. My genre is metal, mostly.

I love mixing it with classical modes and scales (yes, neo-classical) but preferably the more dark type of classical music. I also really like using piano in my compositions and give our keys player in the band the most impossible parts.

A B.C.Rich.. I take you know the stigma it bears? I don't know anything about their basses, but I know their guitars aren't exactly top-notch. Ah well, as long as you like it, who cares?

I love you... can I have your babies?
Sorry, Im just mad jealous.

And for me personally, would singing be an instrument?

 

[DYin01]

That's my beauty. Cost a pretty penny, but it's worth it. I love the extra string.

 

[Overlord Moo]

Trombone...

Not sure how a website can play an instrument, but kudos for trying

As for me, however, I did try the violin but gave up. I want to learn the drums, but don't have time and can't afford a set of drumsticks or a set of drums. Plus I can't find anyone to teach me and internet video tutorials aren't that good...

P.S. If anyone says the accordion I will hunt you down and ram it down your throat. I can't stand the accordion. Anything else, fine, but not that... (shudder).

And The Accordion! Quake with fear mortal fools!

 

[Thirsk]

I play the mandolin, soft synths and some horrible guitar.

 

[ElephantGuts]

How could an internet website play a musical instrument? I would very much like to see that.

As I quoted Trivun's reply, I will also quote yours. An escapist in this context is someone who distracts themselves' from society or even reality using entertainment or recreational activities. Not a website, silly willy.

But the title referred to the escapist, insinuating that there is only one. Instead of assuming he was saying that there is only one escapist in the world, I assumed that he was referring to the website.

EDIT: Also, the title capitalized "Escapist", making it a proper noun. The Escapist as the name of a website would be a proper noun, but a person who is an escapist would not be one. I don't think. Unless perhaps it was their profession. But I don't think anyone works as an Escapist.

 

[Mongodyr]

I have played guitar for about 4 - 5 years. Mostly play metal, but I'll play anything as long as it's fun to play. I can also kinda play drums and bass.

Edit: Here is my baby
