c_s_1987 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I also play guitar. Considering the fact that I have been playing for around 8 years now, I'm pretty useless. I usually just practise "Stairway To Heaven" and "Under The Bridge" on my classical guitar, but there are a few other songs I am practising. I am trying to learn "Classical Gas", but it is just too hard . I can also play keyboard instruments (piano, keyboard, as well as glockenspiel and xylophone for my school concert band), but I don't think I've played on my keyboard for about two years now.

Red Fish Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've been playing keyboard for... about 3 years now, I think (maybe closer to 4). I only started taking lessons about a year ago, so I still stink at it. Some stuff I play on it: Piano Bar - Yoko Kanno (not entirely finished learning it ) Utau Yama (Singing Mountain) and Chrono and Marle: Far Off Promise - Yasunori Mitsuda (from a video game called Chrono Trigger) Minuet - Bach And a couple of others. I also play guitar, but I can never seem to be able to play it as frequent as piano. A couple of things... Simple Man - Shinedown (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover) One Last Breath - Creed Rock And Roll - Led Zeppelin (I stink at it) 3 A.M. - Matchbox 20 Otherwise I do some composing on both of them.

Jazzcat Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Drums/Percussion 38 years my main instrument. Piano, guitar, and some trumpet secondary instruments. Can't really say I have favorite songs that I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've played Bass for many years. Some steel guitar & cello also, there's really not much to talk about in the way of talent or inspiration though, since it's mostly backing up the lead-guitarist. The only key incision factor is with Octave Pulsates & coordinated synchronized Rhythm chords, the freting is made easy by a properly tuned amplifier. The garage bands I played in had feuds with me, because whenever something went wrong or didn't sound right at a small gig, I was to blame "because I was the 'bassist'" & not considered important enough.

TheLizard Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm an Irish fiddler. I've been playing for about 6 years. I started out in classical, but that's so boring and structured. If anyone decides to take up violin, do folk music. It's a lot more fun. Classical violinists look down on us fiddlers, but they're stuck in their structured bubbles, so it's us folk musicians that have the real laugh in the end.

MindCrime Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Whats your favorite songs to play 'Moby Dick' & 'Lemon Song' is my favorites from Led Zeppelin's catalog of several tracks, along with 'Custard Pie' even though it isn't significant with the bass line. 'The Crunge' is also a good one & fun to play, but not really significant enough, since it's the same octave chord repeated over & over again in rhythm to the guitar.

MindCrime Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 It seems difficult to post tablature & have it look correct, because most people wouldn't understand it or be able to read the chords in the right order. Classical violinists look down on us fiddlers, but they're stuck in their structured bubbles, The best way to burst their bubbles, is plug in a finely-tuned Electric into a maximized setting output Marshall subwoofer Amplifier & immediately lead-in on a good tune. That'll pop their stuck-up balloon in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I play the guitar, piano, flute, pennywhistle, and I make electronic music on the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I play guitar, and i know most basic chords on the tenor guitar. I also know most basic chords on piano. I leant the trumpet last november, and my music teachert said I was spectacular, but then music class ended. I hope to pick it up again. Lately on guitar I've gotten really into alternate tunings, so that I can hold a tune easily by myself and be able to play little lead riffs. So, Nick Drake is fun to play, So is Kaki King. I'm going to start learning Aerial Boundaries by Michael Hedges today, which is ridiculously hard. Should be fun though. I also went through a stage of shredding or what not, I outgrew it, but I'm happy ihad it, so now I can motor when I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I am most accomplished on the saxophone. However, I love my electric guitars, piano, keyboard, etc. I'm a hack at them, but I love them. I'm working on harmonica now and keep a couple in the car for when I just need to practice in traffic. Get's a lot of stares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
