Poll: Do you play an instrument?

[BaronOfStuff]

Guitar/Bass Guitar.

Been playing for nearly 7 years, but never took any of it seriously; whenever the 'band' would meet, we'd get drunk and play 20-second tunes from old 8-bit games.

 

[Silent observer]

I play the guitar - just like pretty much everybody else
And I used to learn the piano, but I never enjoyed that very much

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

I first learned how to play the trumpet but I didn't really like it. I'm just more of a piano man. I can only play Fur Elise very well but oh is it impressive to others.

 

[Tyrant T100]

I play keyboard instruments as that's my favourite type of instruments (Piano, Synth keyboard) I'm currently learning the Piano accordion and I have a guitar and a violin I muck around with but can't really play.

 

[FilipJPhry]

Drums, guitar, bass and a little bit of piano. I wish I could play something like the fiddle or bagpipes, though. I was a part of a band, but all we really did was just practice songs together at a friends basement.

 

[5-0]

I've been playing drums for six years and I dabble occasionally in percussion (I have a cajon).

 

[Lataziba]

been playing Tuba for 4+ years now. love it

 

[trollnystan]

Nope, but I wish I could. I sometimes take out my tinwhistle and try to play a little on that... I can sing a little though; well enough that I've sung at two family funerals, but hardly at professional level.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Bass. Don't practice much which I hope will change some day.
Also want to pick up guitar.

 

[Instinct Blues]

I know how to play the guitar, but I wouldn't consider myself particularly skilled though I'm definitely not a novice. I also don't have that bad of a singing voice according to my friends who are music majors at school.

 

[babinro]

Nope.

No real interest either. I absolutely love drumming in Rock Band and have become quite the expert at it, but I wouldn't care for real drums.

 

[CCountZero]

I consider myself as having played the drums since age ten, as that's when I got my first kit.
However, I did hammer away on pots and pans, plus at a kit in school, at a younger age.

I can play a bit of guitar & piano, but I wouldn't describe myself as "good".

I've been told I could sing, if I worked on it; and my sister did drag me to some of her own song practices so her teacher could give me a verdict, but I've never put any real work into it, which means I don't really have the routine to just stand up and sing something out loud.

Not without a serious case of courage, which is a hard problem to get around when you don't drink

I've been known to take the mic when pressured though.

I used to play guitar when a was little, tryed it for about 8 months or so but a was no good at it really, might try again soon, acoustics aren't that much to buy and books and the internet are easier to use seeing as i can appreciate stuffs more nao

 

[Shadow flame master]

I used to play the piano. I started when I was about 7 and continued untill I was 11 or 12. Why did I stop? It started to be less fun then I thought it was, I wasn't learning anything new. Basically, instead of a hobby I wanted to learn, it felt like I was forced to play the piano.

I have a electric guitar in my closet and wouldn't mind learning how to play it, but I don't have the time or money to be taught or teach myself. I wouldn't mine relearning the piano, I just need my schedule to be cleared up(and I need a driver's license).

 

[elbrandino]

I play four, actually. I mostly play the tenor sax now, but I also play the flute when I'm needed, and I can play the bari sax and the alto sax.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

I used to play saxophone for about eight years but haven't in maybe five just lost the urge really. I can also play bass though only basic stuff really more or less same reason why I stopped with the saxophone lost the urge to continue playing.

 

[AlAaraaf74]

Yes, I play piano. Concequentally, I am biased in saying it is the greatest instrument ever. I mean, how much more awesome can you get?

 

[floobie]

Electric guitar (about 10 years now) and keyboards (about 16 years on and off). I'd say I'm above average and serviceable on both.

My guitar playing tends towards metal rhythm guitar (fast, clean, palm-muted Iced Earth-esque) and melodic leads with GOOD VIBRATO. I can't solo for shit though... nor do I have any desire to really.

For keyboards, I go mostly for relatively technical synth stuff, or multi-layered orchestral stuff.

I can also play bass about as well as any half-decent electric guitarist can play bass. ie. Good enough to record or play live, but nothing particularly interesting. Used to play the flute as well...

And don't ask me to play anything ever! I won't know it! 99% of what I play is my own music.

 

[Chalacachaca]

Guitar, learned power chords from a teacher and the rest by my own.
