Poll: Do You Play a Instrument?

[Trilby_V]

Keyboard/piano and a tiny bit of guitar. Been playing the former on and off for six years, and picked up the latter very casually just one year ago. I'm much better at piano, but I often find myself playing things written for guitar.

Yeah, happens to me sometimes. Still, you have a lot more experience that I do. To all musicians out there, take a look at this site: http://imslp.org/wiki/ Its a free public domain sheet music library.

 

[Dimbo_Sama]

Bass, Rhythm Guitar, Sing, Drums, some Piano, Harmonica.

I also enginer live and studio sound but that's not really an instrument that's just me trying to make myself look cool

EDIT: Mostly it's Bass and Vocals

 

[zen5887]

I play Electric Bass and study Popular music and performance at uni.

I'm a bit of a style whore, as in, I'll play anything. However, I've been playing groove based stuff all year so I'm kinda itching for something a bit more straight ahead.

I also play a tiny bit of keyboard and I can use Reason 4 okayish.

 

[Berethond]

guitar/vocals...doesn't matter if it's acoustic/electric rock/metal...i can do any style with vocals, and enjoy playing guitar with it

Really.
Why don't I believe you?
Have you ever heard of Wes Montgomery?
If you haven't, then you should look him up and see why I don't believe you.
If you have, then you know why I don't believe you.

 

[Trilby_V]

what..because he doesn't do vocals? or because he plays jazz? i dont care if you believe me or not, i have songs written, both lyrically and musically, some acoustic, some electric, ranging a lullaby i wrote for somebody, to a song that i wrote about a friend, to a song i wrote about hating my dad and the rage he brings when i think about him for extended periods of time. believe me or don't, it's all the same, i got people who have seen/heard the proof.

I play the saxaphone and pretty much any sheet music I can get my hands on. I just got a new cannonball saxaphone and it has a brilliant silver bell (For those of you who dont know your sax anatomy thats the big part) I love the saxaphone but I am practicing piano because Ive heard some music that can be played on it and its quite wonderfull.

 

[Insanum]

Guitar, Piano, I can sing (just about, Backups mainly though, Lack of confidence) & play a lil bit of bass too.

And i DID learn the violin...Years ago.

if you're trying to start a flame war i can tell you i'm not going to fall for it, however the lullaby is an actual soothing lullaby, rather than a dark "lets be morid" lullaby like most, i don't hate my parents, simply the childhood i went through because of my father, and i know i'm not the only one who has had it happen, nor was mine the worst, and i don't just play the lullaby, i wrote it, and the acoustic styles are more soft rock than anything i guess. the electric are metal and hard rock, mostly metal. i do also have a song dedicated to a certain person, that's actually fairly depressing, sort of like a memory to them , ya know? as a sort of "you'll be deeply missed and never forgotten" kinda thing, but you know..again, i know i'm not the first to write about these, nor will mine be the best, and i know i wont be the last. what about you Berethond? you play anything?

Every time you type like that
You owe Max 86c
And I laugh at you a little
because it makes you sound so dark
and brooding.

I used to play some instruments but then just moved on and went into a different phaise

Still would love to play guitar and piano however lack of space, funds and time.

It sounds mega-shitfaced-awesome-cool. It's just this nice little ditty that I play for myself. But it really really makes you feel sleepy if you keep playing it long enough.

I've only every played it for one other person as well... I dunno if I'd ever record it though I like the thought of having my own 'Moonlight Sonata'

I think what Mr. Berethond is talking about is (and I don't wanna put words in anyone's mouth, so feel free to correct me) you said "I can do any style with vocals" and mentioned acoustic, electric and metal. So you pretty much said "I can sing all stlyes - Rock, soft rock and metal"

Which is kinda funny.

EDIT

....speaking of lullabies. I've got one that's all natural harmonics on the Bass.

Harmonics are rad.

I just put a C string on my bass so once I get the chance/ability I'll record some multi tracked chordal goodness!
