Poll: Do you play a musical instrument?

[Thirsk]

Yeah. I play guitar, bass, mandolin, lute and I make music on my computer, if that counts. I play neither any well, but I can manage a basic tarantella napoletana [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-xsosv6uM0] on all of them.

 

[Padwolf]

I play piano, and have done for nearly 10 years now. I'm currently learning final fantasy music on it, sadly I have no clips to show yet, but one day soon I will!

 

[Aqualung]

I'm a classically trained pianist, gravitating mainly towards the work of composers like Chopin.

Mmm, my favourite. Chopin, Liszt- if you can play Liszt's La Campanella, I will love you forever.

I play clarinet, have for... eight years? Somewhere around that.

 

[Brinker085]

I started playing bass guitar in high school. I've been in a few bands, it's always a blast to jam around, or play a show. I've been in a reggae/rock band called The Mind Control Project for roughly 4 years now, check out the link below if you're interested.

[Ralen-Sharr]

I started teaching myself how to play a keyboard once, forgot now why I stopped.

Maybe someday I'll pick it back up and try again.

 

[Alloflifedecays]

Guitar - a year and a half
Bass - a year
Saxaphone - five years, but not so much any more.

I can also play around on a piano.

I've posted this song in another thread similar to this one. I am mainly best at piano, but I picked up guitar about 4 years ago and I sing as well.

It's not a clip of me playing per se, but I performed all of the instrumentation in this song, minus the drums.

[aakibar]

[Mezzo.]

Violinist of 11 or so years. :V

 

[WakeTheDead1]

drums, for 10 years now

 

[TheHecatomb]

I played a reasonably mean electric guitar when I was still in my teens but I haven't really touched it in over 4 years. I sort of lost interest for it as soon as I started learning to build classic guitars, which I found a lot more interesting. I can still play some simple stuff, but most of it is just gone. I think I'd break my wrist if I tried to sweep an arpeggio these days.

On the side I occasionally mess around with various synths and plug-ins on my pc (and have been doing so for about 9 years) making anything from trance to drum & bass and industrial. I've yet to complete a whole 'song' though. I have literally hundreds of unfinished musical projects varying from total rubbish to actually quite good, but I don't have the attention span to actually finish them.

 

[Ken Sapp]

Trumpet but I am out of practice

 

[Kimarous]

I have an ocarina, but I haven't played it for several months. I do, however, have all the song books to get me back up to speed when I do.

 

[lacktheknack]

Classically trained pianist, dabbled in French horn, sing in concert choir.

Interesting fact: Did you know that English horns are neither true horns nor English? In fact, they are French. The French horn is German.

 

[xmbts]

I can pick at the guitar but I'm not very good. I'm decent on a piano though.

 

[Wardnath]

I'm a vocalist of the death metal and black metal varieties, and I'm damn good at it too.

I'm a terrible keyboardist, and a worse bassist.

[HEADING=1]TRUMPET POWERS ACTIVATE![/HEADING]

Yes, I do play a musical instrument.

 

[Summerstorm]

No... too bad my parents never forced me to learn one (and i am myself too lazy to start now).

I think everyone should at least have SOME idea of how to play one, though... i am all for art 'n shit *g*.

In my shame: i can't even read notation (sigh). Musical education was cut, when i was in school. Disgusting.

 

[imnot]

until about a year ago I played the trombone, and years ago the keyboard.

 

[Kris015]

Depends. Is my voice an instrument?
