What all do you play?

Postby xenonon » Sat Jun 23, 2007 2:33 pm

I'm just curious as to what instrument some of you started out on, and all the insturments you know how to play, and what you think your best at?

I started out on the guitar, I play piano / Keyboard

Mostly the tuba but I imagine I could play any valved brass instrument with some practice; they all pretty much work the same way. Trombone wouldn't be out of the question either but it's a bit harder to get the positions down.

If only tubas weren't like $5000 and up I'd buy one.

Can only play piano one-handed, I've never bothered to learn how to use both hands at once so far.

I played clarinet in HS and was pretty decent. Think I still have it around and could still play it. I've also taught myself piano (with both hands. :P), but I'm not very good. :?

Everything below was self taught, no books, just a few instructions to get me started then a lot of research..

Instruments:
Piano: 10 years + (full time to casual now)
Drums: 2 years (casual)
Rythim Gutar: 2 months (casual)
Bass Guitar: 1 year (full time)

Vocals:
Trebel/Bass Choir: 3 years (past time during high school)
Trebel/Alto: 5 years (very on and off probably works out to 4 months in total :P)
Death Metal: 5 years (full time)
Grind Core: 3 years (full time)

So out of all that? I play bass and growl.

Surprising that I see no Sousaphones listed (though I guess the tuba is pretty close) :P

As for me, um, I played some trumpet and trombone in middle school, but I've pretty much forgotten a lot of the trombonage.

Lets see...

Started out with clarinet and trumpet years ago but I haven't touched them in years.

These days I play guitar, bass, keys, tin whistle and percussion. I spend more time programming synth type stuff lately, though.

Started with a piano several years ago. I quit because I wasn't enjoying it. I didn't play any instruments until I got into high school. I started playing the French Horn and, again, didn't really enjoy it. I was begged to stay for my sophomore year and I compromised by going into the Intermediate band. Seeing as I didn't want to do marching band, I quit much to my teacher's dismay. I just hope he doesn't hold it against me for the next two years.

I play guitar. Every once a couple of weeks.

As I enjoy weird/experimental music, I'm far too fascinated with the sounds the thing can make to ever advance in proper musicology. As such... eh.

A real shame since my father is a guitar virtuoso and has been a professional musician for a living ever since I can remember. But he just couldn't teach me, mostly due to his lack of patience with me :|

I played percussion for one year in fifth grade, then quit because my music teacher was a bitch. Then I took a keyboarding class my junior year of high school, and hated every second of it.

Suffice to say, I do not play any musical instruments.

I'm at an art school. So the first 4 grades i had to learn piano, because i could go to drawing and sculpture in the 5th grade(witch is my reason for going to art school).
Anyway i would of liked piano more if it wasn't for my teacher, i hated her so much...
Anyway i don't play anymore.
