Instrumentality

Postby Propyro » Sat Aug 30, 2003 11:47 am

How many of you guys can play any kind of instrument or sing? This is probalby an uver used topic on the music forum, but hell with it, i feel like bringing it up again for the hell of it.

Any ways, i've played saxophone for 4 years (1 year on alto and 3 on tenor) and i've been playing guitar for 2 years and i'm currently looking into giving bass guitar a shot, but if i do, i'm buying one bass, and it's going to be the one i like.

I play drums, have since I was 12 or 14 or something like that.

I could probably sing in a band if I needed or wanted to.

Guitar, intermittently, 3 years. Naturally, I still have trouble playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Guitar, just over a year - but I also haven't played it in the last two weeks because I'm stuck working and can't even get to the music store to buy me a new B-string. Man, I need spares.

I've been learning the guitar for the past 7 years. I love it!
I also want to take up the drums and piano.

As far as singing goes...well, it depends what you consider singing. If you think screaming and growling is singing, then yup! I sing too.

I could never get those chords in the beggining right on my own ... i needed to be shown to get it half right ... but now i forgot ... plus i stopped trying to play other peoples music ...

man, words of wisdom ... alsawy keep at least two full spare sets. missing b string ... got that sucks. another good peice of advice ... if you change strings for a performance ... do it at least a week before you have to play ... because doing it right before the show is not good ... no one wants to hear a guitar that goes out of tune every 30 seconds ...

but it's quite ironic to be getting that advice form somone who will do everything in his power to avoid performing for an audience ...

Feeleth no shame for playing flute. And Mocketh not the flute player ... why? Listen to Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) and say flutes suck, or are girly instruments.

Played clarinet from third to eighth grades, but I never really got into band the way most band kids do. I quit and started playing piano at 15 because it was something musical, yet I could do what I wanted with it and didn't have to play the assigned band stuff. :P

My piano teacher recruited me for a church that direly needed an organist in early '97. I took organ lessons instead of piano for a year, and have been the resident non-religious church organist for - wow, six years now. How time flies. :?

Oddly enough I don't have any natural ability or talent for this, and I'm still pretty mediocre. But I get by well enough that they haven't fired me yet.

flutes rule, as do violins (both work amazing, as folk metal kicks ass.)

mmmm, violins, an old favorite of mine, saddly i never tried it. As a kid i really liked Celtic music, particularly stuff with lots of insanly fast violin work in it, such as Ashley Mcisaac. i'd still want to try but then thats jsut too much on my plate ... or is it?

but folk metal? hmmm, intersting ... i'll need to find some band's and look into them. Sounds somewhat promising.
