Anoybody else a musician?

[Heimann47 0]

So I've been wondering, are there any other songfactors aside from myself that know how to play any instruments?

I mostly play bass quitar, but I've dabbled on the 6-string side as well (not including my 6-string bass), and a few years back I used to play trumpet and trombone.

So, anyone else play? I'd be thrilled to find that I'm not the only musician here

I'm a fiddler. Have been for about 11 years.

I play a wicked kazoo.

Oh, thanks for reminding me, if anyone else is a musician, how long have you been playing? And what do you play (not the instrument, the make/model of it)

I've been playing bass for a little under three years, I've got four; A Squier P-bass, an LTD F-104, an Epiphone Thunderbird, and a LTD FX 406 6-string

I play mandolin! It's a Custom built by a good friend of mine. Completely original, first of it's kind. Absolutely beautiful. Been playing since I was 8 years old and met Chris Thile, my hero!

I have a 55 strat...a workhorse

a 53 Gibson (Rosewood)...good guitar just never stays tuned up love playing it but hate switching when it gets funky

A 55 Flying V Bass...Good Bass but a little awkward (heavy)

And at one time I could play the violen...I still do...but it's the practice...

And I play everything with 2 Marshall half stacks

just me though...I just crank it up

I've been playing a long time...lost count

Now it's just fun...for the love of music

And if it's I've learned anything?

Yeah,soundchecks...

The last few years,since joining SF...

"Thanks" to everyone

An authentic (I'm assuming) 55 Flying V bass? where did you manage to find that?

[RockyRaccoon 0]

I play 7 instruments

Guitar, clarinet, piano, mandolin, banjo, bass and harmonica.

And, I even have a music MySpace

I've always wanted to be a musician. Almost went to Berklee to major in it. But it cost too much money. I've sent out demos but the chance of that producing anything is like 1 in 1000000000000000 so I don't get my hopes up. So for now, I play for fun.

Because I do love playing music

Wow,I don't remember exactly...I got it 30 something years ago from someone...I think I loaned someone some money,they gave me the bass and when they paid me back...I'd give them the bass back.The only things I've changed are the strings and the pick ups...

You uhh... wouldn't be interested in having some one take it off your hands would you?

[Batman 2]

started with traditional irish music when I was 6, like the pennywhistle and flute. I also play guitar. Now what I'm most interested in is electronic composition.

Uhh...You'd have to talk that over with my daughter...I pretty much gave it to her...

I still play it...just not as often...

[Heimann47 0]

Well, I doubt I'd have the money for it anyway.

TimLizzy ain't the only fiddler here.

I've been known to fiddle...

[Heimann47 0]

I just noticed that I misspelled the name of this thread... anoybody instead of anybody... oops

[Lucky 5]

TimLizzy ain't the only fiddler here.

I'll just bet you have.

Don't worry about it Heimann. It adds character.

[Rayzor 1]

I've been known to beat things too...

I'm a drummer

and my mouth has been put to work quite often!

I hope no one else notices all the innuendos that can be had in this thread!

[Heimann47 0]

Nobody has noticed. At all. And no, you haven't just made them painfully clear.

[Rayzor 1]

Oh! Thank heavens for that! "whew!"

[Heimann47 0]

Wait, you're not implying that there is some form of sexual overtone in your posts, are you?

That would be gross...

Hey, i'm a musician here too!

i can play keys, recorder and guitar pretty well.

occasionally i dust my hands off on my band mate's bass and sometimes the drums too!

playing the drums is by far the best when it comes to feel and expression, i hope i can make my way to a sax someday!

[Rayzor 1]

u got it lazy!

drums are the best! it's why I took them up. I hate when people say the drummer is the guy who couldn't learn a real instrument! :beady:

Rock on!

[chutzpah 0]

drums are the rythem part of almost all music (and bass)It's great to play guitar solo's and stuff but with no backup it has no real purpose... a good rythem section always helps... and a bad one makes for a really rough night

I think I might need spell check on this one

I played trumpet from 5th until 10th grade. In 11th grade, got a guitar and learned some chords. A year later, bought an upright bass and played in a folk duet with a very good acoustic guitarist. We called ourselves "Jim and Me" while playing local venues covering mainly the songs of Ian and Sylvia.

Jim lives in N. Carolina now and plays mandolin in a bluegrass band. While in the Navy I bought an electric bass and jammed with friends aboard ship, last playing it in a church band 15 years ago.

In Navy boot camp I auditioned for the recruit Drum and Bugle Corp in order to spend time rehearsing instead of drilling with a rifle. Had lost my lips for the bugle, but made it in as a bass drummer. For 16 weeks, played at every weekly graduation ceremony, keeping the beat for a 20 piece corp band.

I self-googled and discovered that I *used* to be a musician. Apparently, one of these guys is me:
