Poll: Do you play a musical instrument?

[Ironic Pirate]

Sort of guitar.

Sort of because I don't know any chords, or songs beyond smoke on the water.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

This sorta stuff. Looks neato, dunnit?

Oh my god, can that fly an airplane? I mean, holy shit.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

Piano and sax, myself. I haven't any videos of myself playing sax, but there is one of my piano playing.

Bass Clarinet (Since the 5th grade.), percussion (general), and piano (barely) is all I am able to reliably and consistantly play upon. I have been looking into picking up a stringed instrument though, probably bass guitar...

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

Violin, Viola, 'Cello, Double Bass, all 5 recorders, and I'm teaching myself the flute. If there's any other flute players reading this, and you wouldn't mind dishing out some advice, I'd be grateful... :O)

I also sing, and have done so at the BBC Proms, on Blue Peter (on the same, awesomely fun day!) when I was younger. Long-ass time ago.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I play guitar (3½ years), violin (1½ years) and growl (½ year). I want to learn how to play bass, drums, and banjo as well.

 

[REmaster]

I played the flute for 8 years

 

[Daffy F]

Just curious how many gamers here play something other myself, since I know that lots of people here are metalheads and stuff.

If so, post a clip of yourself playing, if you can!

Myself playing a small section of "Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar" by Paul Gilbert (who I go see later on today!). I know, one of the bends (the C# full bend to an Eb) was a little flat in the recording, but meh, it was just a mess-about.

You like Paul Gilbert then? (I ask because of your avatar)

 

[Blackmagic1515]

I've played several.
Glockenspiel: Played for 4 years with my cadet band.
Steel Pans: Played for 2 years at school.
Handbells: Played for 1 year with my brother's group.
Guitar: Played for 1 year.

Now I want to learn the Piano. And actually stick to it this time.

 

[blankedboy]

I've been playing guitar for a bit over 8 years now, I also compose electronic music which I chuck onto www.villafuzz.net84.net
And a clip of me playing Angie:


That's from about a year ago.

I play trombone. I have been since 4th grade. I've gotten some pretty good positions in some of the ensembles I've played in. I also write a bit. There are some videos of me playing in some groups, but most of them are from other people's parents, which means that they inevitably focus on their child and nobody else.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I play the piano fairly regularly. I've forgotten how to read music though, and mostly play by ear.

 

[Disaster Button]

I'm busy teaching myself to play Moonlight Sonata for the keyboard. I've got the first page down so far. But I know bits and pieces of other songs.

 

[Harlemura]

I've played the keyboard for about a total of 10 hours.
That's only because we had to in school. I kinda enjoyed it, but suck at the general "one hand does this while the other does that" ability pianists need.

 

[Fridge]

Err..

Bass Guitar, double bass and cello.

But I have no videos of me doing it simply because I'm not in a band.

 

[Artina89]

I play the guitar, I haven't been able to devote much time to it recently though, as university is preventing me from having much of a social life

 

[archaicmalevolence]

Mainly been playing guitar for 2.5 years now, but enjoy playing bass and drums with a tiny bit of piano and the electric triangle .

 

[Aeriath]

I never realised that gamers were so musically inclined. Perhaps the question should be who can play a musical instrument well to narrow it down.

I can't play one myself, I've never had a talent for music or languages.

[small]Can't even go up to hard on Guitar Hero, the 5th button messes me up.[/small]

 

[Polaris19]

I mostly write lyrics but I play some guitar.

 

[Shinrae]

I play bass, just havent had the time or motivation to pick it up lately.
