Master_Keralys Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I play piano. I've been playing for about 7, nearly 8 years. I've actually been playing on the worship team at my church since I was 15, which is pretty cool (and a huge challenge!). Obi - that is so awesome. I've had some experiences like that myself. I'm also a composer, which is my real passion. I've been working on a number of different songs of late; I'll probably be looking to publish sometime here within the next few years. If I could I'd love to be able to write music for movie scores: that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Does the harmonica count? If it doesn't, I can play the terminator theme on my keyboard DUNNANUN, DUN DUN, DUNANUN, DUN DUN DUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I play acoustic and electric guitar, piano, and use Cubase to write my own music. I used to play the Trumpet and the Violin. I'm hoping to take up the Banjo soon, I'm kind of in love with the instrument I work in a music shop, so I get to fiddle with lots of different instruments when there aren't any customers - trying out the latest Clavinovas is great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR-0927 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Heh, I was about to post a thread like this. I play the drums (the whole drum set). I've been playing drums for over a year now. I also play the Tabla. The Tabla is an Indian hand drum instrument (spelling?...). I've been playing it for maybe 6-7 years now. My friend is awesome with instruments. He taught himself the guitar from his brothers notes from when he was learning it. He has been playing the drums (the whole drum set) for 3-4 years. He is now learning Bass guitar. He is extremely obsessed with music and his only hobby is music. He's been learning Bass guitar for maybe half of a year now.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I played Trombone for 8 years, but after high school I haven't touched the thing. I could probably pick it up again fairly easily. I was decent at it, I played 1st chair in band but, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklighter Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Self-taught piano and electric guitar. Kind've. I started having piano lessons when I was little, but carried it on on my own afterwards.

MennoniteHobbit Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Guitar, still teaching myself to play piano, flute (some)... drums... and that's about it. Tenor sax sucks in our band (from school)- it's too frickin big and heavy. Now, on the other hand, the alto is so much smaller and lighter, and has a better tone. Of course, it all differs in people's opinion of tone. I was going to play alto, but I didn't have the time or money to take up band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Thought I may as well chuck up some of the other instruments I play. Pretty much any variety of sax, clarinet, piano (to an extent), flute and guitar. Found a photo of my guitars floating round too.... so here goes Doesn't compare to edlib's collection, but my les paul is worth a packet... probably more than my sax come to think about it. I probably don't give it enough love. *goes and loves guitar* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 how do you keep them in such good condition? my poor guitar looks like it's been in the wars. i think my tele was 3 months old when i put the first chips in the paintwork. 9 years later and it looks like its done ten rounds with kurt cobain, jimi hendrix and thurston moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 They only come out for gigs, or for practice. And when they're out, I guard them with my life. The les paul and my guardala sax are my most expensive assets, after my car. Have to be nice to them Not that I ever plan on selling those 2 instruments.... but still, its good to keep an eye on them. I guess i can be a bit overprotective with them. I'm the only person whose ever touched my sax, after it came out of the shop. Mainly because it's unlaquered and has a sandblasted effect on it, therefore its more susceptive to corrosion from sweaty hands, etc. It's already getting a few noticable spotty areas and its only 3 years old. I kinda inherited the guitars from my old man anyway, him being the original guitar player in the family. So if i didnt take care of them, I'd be smitten, with a smiting stick. If i know theres a good chance that my guitar might get banged round at a gig, I'll just use one of the strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Is that one of the Anniversary Les Pauls? I think I've seen one of them before. Very nice! And those look like re-issue Strats, are they not? Or are they REAL vintage?!? Either way: Very Cool! I like my Strat, but I really want to get one that meets the original specs, like a '54 or '57 re-issue, (since I don't imagine that I'll ever get my hands on a real one at this point.) To me that's what a real Strat is supposed to sound like! And most of my guitars (and amps for that matter) are hand-me-downs from my dad too! I bought the Les Pauls and the nylon string, and I paid for the PRS (although he's the one who found it and picked it out for me) but everything else is from him. Of course, he still has all the best ones for himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
