I've played the guitar for around six years, I also used to play the violin. I'd also love to learn how to play the drums.

Guitar, drums, bass, singing, ukulele, banjo, violin, piano, harmonica...
A lot of them I only know one or two tunes on, so it's more of a gimmick to do at parties and get a cheap laugh, but I've been playing guitar since I was eleven, harmonica since I was 14/15, bass and drums on and off since 14, basic piano since I was 9 (I just never wanted to learn any more) and ukulele since 18.

I play Piano, Cello with an orchestra, Clarinet and I am a virtuoso of the Clitar and the Manjo.
'Pseudo'? ... 'pseudo'?! How's that work?Fishyash said:
OT: I used to play the piano, violin, viola (by cheating), organ, drums, bass guitar and harpsichord (different playing style to the piano, so I'm counting it!) -_- I was good enough to effectively be browbeaten into applying to the RCM... gawd, that wasn't pleasant...
Don't any more because my time is filled with too much other (usually work-related) crap.
I'm currently in an acoustic guitar based course in school, I take lessons in bass guitar, and I used to play alto sax.
I'm terrible at all of them.

Used to play electric bass in school, but have found no use for it since - not good enough to learn on my won, or inspired enough. I've played it for 1 year over a year ago. I was alright, but that's it.
Just a small joke really, I have rock school grade 8, and when I look at say an ABRSM grade 8 set of pieces, they seem so much harder to play.SckizoBoy said:
Maybe not though, I never really focused on grade-based stuff after that, so I am not too bothered about it. It just seems that a rockschool grade 8 doesn't really seem as credible or something.
Did a few. Started on Piano years back, stopped in the 8th grade for some reason or another.
I can do Baritone, Euphonium, and Trombone nowadays.

I used to play the drums from about the age of 12. Unfortunately, my (very good) drum set still resides in my dad's attic in Canada, while I now reside in the UK. For a while I used to jam in a studio in London where I could rent time with their drum sets, but I've moved away from that area too. Then I went to university, had a kid, and have a job, so now I have no time or money to do anything I want do to really.
But anyway, drums are the most awesome instrument in the world! Especially for people like me who have no singing or note-playing ability (my mum made me try to learn the violin when I was little, I was RUBBISH) but a good sense of rhythm.

I play amplified acoustic (just to sound that wee bit more fancy), teeny-tiny bit of keyboard, a portion of bass, starting to play the mandolin, I intend to start up the ukele and I would just love to learn the drums properly. The two before the latter should be easy enough since I've been playing acoustic guitar since I was eleven anyway, stringed instruments and all that jazz. Violin and harp would be another two fantastic instruments to play, come to think of it!
The chair? Must be a rocking chair!
Haha, aye, ditto. I love sitting doing it with pens. Reminds me of this here video, actually:Ulquiorra4sama said:

Hurray! A fellow tuba and sousaphone player!TheYellowCellPhone said:
OT- I've started at Trumpet, went to Baritone, and now I'm at Tuba. Notice how I progressively get lower? Unless someone offers me to play contrabass tuba, I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with Tuba.
I play piano, this goes perfectly with my love of classical music. It is very soothing. My personal favorite to play is ronda alla turka by mozart
