The Instruments of the Escapist

[Lord_Of_Plum]

Hello, fellow escapees.
I'm wondering what instrument the escapist community plays/played, how long they've played it, and/or how they feel about their particular instrument.
Personally, I've played the guitar for 7 years.
I did search for a thread like this, but found nothing, but I'm apologizing in advance if this has been done before.

I play my silver tongue. Not in singing, but in speaking.

 

[Lance Icarus]

I have no talent for instruments. I've had an acoustic guitar for a year, but I barely practice it. Cursed schooling.

Guitar = 8 years (or so). I play an Epiphone dot and a Fender Telecaster through a Vox AC30cc2

Bass = I started playing bass out of necessity, on and off for about 5 years. I dont have a bass at the moment

Harmonica = 2 years. I got one for Christmas one year. i love it, it's awesome. I have a whole set of different keys now

ukulele = about 2 months. I bought it on a whim. its cool sounding and not that much more difficult to play than guitar

Drums = NEXT. im gonna get an electronic drum kit when i can afford it and learn to play

i can also sing

I've been DJ'ing since 2000, and creating house music since 97. The wheels of steel are my instruments.

I tried many different instruments as a young buck, but lacked musical talent, thus, I became a DJ...once I could afford it that is...

EDIT: PM me if you're into house music and I'll send you a link for a set I just did.

I've been told I can sing pretty well. I only ever sing when I'm in a really, really good mood, but people seem to like it.

Tuba ************=4 years

 

[Maet]

I shall represent the Mandolin and the String Bass (the giant wooden beast you can play with a bow), since all the other instruments I play are probably going to be covered in due time.

 

[SargentToughie]

Euphonium, 4 years

high school band all the way!

 

[Anton P. Nym]

Did choir in school, and then some keyboard afterward. Didn't amount to much, though, and both have rusted pretty badly over the years.

[Matthicus]

I've played lots of brass instruments. Trumpet for four years, Euphonium for five, trombone for two. I sang a lot in high school too. I was one of three tenors, I got shit for it but at least I got to stand out a bit.

Tuba ************=4 years

HERE HERE!

 

[Good morning blues]

13 years of guitar, played alto sax from grades 7-10 (though I don't even own one anymore), can also play the drums and bass a bit.

 

[LewsTherin]

Piano, guitar, by extension bass, harmonica, and I can sing. Want to learn drums and the pipes.

 

[Fatalis67]

ukulele = about 2 months. I bought it on a whim. its cool sounding and not that much more difficult to play than guitar

Look up Jake Shimbakoro (I think I spelled that right) he's like Jesus with a ukulele. And that's coming form someone who listens to death metal.

 

[DBlackny]

Saxophone for 4 years so far and still going!

 

[superbleeder12]

I'm learning to play the bass. haven't had a lot of time to do so though.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

I am a drummer, I hit things with sticks, am self taught, and I am damn good at it; 4 years and counting on the drums. I also played the trumpet from 4th to 7th grade. Didn't like it too much after I had braces put on, so the drums became my main instrument.

 

[jboking]

Vocals for...ever

harmonica for 6 years

trumpet for 5 years

guitar for 2 months

For a guy thats never used a string instrument, guitar is difficult to get used too.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

I play violin, guitar, bass, and keyboard, and I also sing. I've played each since I was around twelve. I've been wanting to get a theremin and a saxophone as well, but I haven't had the time or money to get my hands on them recently.
