The Instruments of the Escapist

[Bob Saget]

I've played trumpet for 6 years now, 2 years so far in high school marching band (7th best in Michigan, woohoo!) and that's about it.

 

[kommando367]

trumpet = 4 years 3 in middle school 1 in high school

 

[jdog345]

Bass=1 year My favorite
Guitar=1 year
Saxophone=3 years (Tenor)
Clarinet= 4 years, but not as often.

 

[Fruhstuck]

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

Where do you live?
Good and willing male singers are so hard to find

I've been drumming for a year and a half - stll in the "make a lot of noise" phase but am enjoying just the groove and feel of a beat more and more lately

 

[TMAN10112]

I've played the clarinet for 5 years, and I just started learning how to play a guitar.

 

[The Sorrow]

Viola-Six years, give or take.
Guitar-Not long enough. I still suck.

 

[Jamanticus]

Cello.

It is awesome, sublime, frustrating, invigorating, tedious, inspiring, depressing, uplifting, fun, inventive, satisfying, and a billion other words that I could list (and want to, but can't think of them at the moment), but won't. One word it never is, however, is boring. Just as good as every other musical instrument out there, except the cello requires its own plane ticket and has a case shaped like a bowling pin.

That's just my main instrument, though. I play the piano proficiently and used to sing.

.....And I whistle quite often. People often describe it as 'piercing'.......

Good and willing male singers are so hard to find

On that note, I feel really lucky that I'm in the school that I am. We have almost as many Tenors, Baritones and Basses combined as we do Sopranos, largely thanks to our chorus teachers enthusiasm.

 

[The Kind Cannibal]

Quads for school percussion and the modern drum set for various bands, 4 years each.

I adore my instruments.

 

[Yaky]

I've played the bass for just under two years now, and I've fiddled around with the guitar for a bit recently.

We have the "Cock-Willing" syndrome here in lincolnshire
In that only the cocks who can't sing are willing to stand behind a microphone

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I can sing in conjunction with music, but without the melody I can't find the right intonations.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Uh I've played guitar for a little over 2 years, trombone for about 2, and piano for about 7.

 

[Asymptote Angel]

I play bass, and I'm probably going to pick up guitar sometime next year.

Mad love to fellow lefty rockers.

 

[Vorpals]

I've played guitar for about two years now and piano for a bit less than a year.

The funny part is that I'm left-handed, but I play right-handed guitar.

Lefty guitar is too awkward to play.

 

[somerandomguy76]

Trombone for 8. Jazz and ska bands ftw!

 

[plastic_window]

I played piano a while ago but never practised it. I play both kinds of guitar but not in a practising kind of way. I just like to make some music and see if it fits my moment. I did try the trumpet for a while but it was meh.

Oh, and the kazoo.

 

[meatloaf231]

I've played trombone, bass, and drums. None of them really stuck. Drums was the most fun, but I didn't have a few spare thousand dollars lying around to spend.

Not really, a lot of lefty's play right handed.

OT:Saxophone(alto)2 years, (tenor)2 years
Guitar:sort of, but fail miserbly
bass: on and off for 4 years
