[Doomed Hero Rising]

Try playing the intro/harmonics to Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)." It makes you feel really important:word:.

Can anyone play a wind instrument?

My girlfriend can play the Oboe and used to play the Ocarina, if those give me any credit:word:.

I tried learning/playing guitar but didn't have the patience to keep up with it.

I can't do electric guitar very well because the tips of my fingers are too broad for the strings... They keep hitting the other strings around them:oldrazz:.

Then again, I like bass a whole lot more. It's much bigger and more manly:brucebat:.

[SpideyVille007]

Try playing the intro/harmonics to Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)." It makes you feel really important:word:.

I haven't tried it, but it does some like I can do it. And I could play a little bit of the beginning of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters".

[Corey]

I play electric, acoustic, and classical guitars; and saxophone. I fell in love with guitar. I can get by on the mandolin and ukulele. I've tried to learn harmonica...I should pick that up again. I'd love to have a piano. I know some basic chord shapes, but if I had one sitting in my house, I'd be playing that thing like crazy.

[Cunning Stunts]

I haven't tried it, but it does some like I can do it. And I could play a little bit of the beginning of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters".

That one too, actually. Those are the two of the few things I know on geetar.

Another good one is the Enter Sandman intro:up:.

[tzarinna]

Can anyone play a wind instrument?

I played the clarinet back in the 6th grade, so like a hundred years ago.

[Corey]

Can anyone play a wind instrument?

Yes, like I've mentioned before. Wind instruments are pretty difficult to play compared to some other instruments.

[Warhammer]

I used to play piano, and I can play a bit of guitar. I need to get back into guitar again, seriously.

[SpideyVille007]

That one too, actually. Those are the two of the few things I know on geetar.

Now that sounds a little more advanced for me, but the intro is definitely badass :word:

[Corey]

Those who play guitar--What equipment do you have?

[tzarinna]

I have two acoustic guitars, one steel and one nylon string.

[Captain Planet!]

I can play... your mom.

The steel is a Harmony Marquis and the nylon is a Giannini.
They're old as ****. I've had them since the late 80's early 90's.

I played bass guitar. Not sure why I stopped.

[knowsbleed]

Drums, piano, trumpet and... turntables. :)

[TLH]

Guitar, bass, and some piano.

I'm not. I want to find one though.

Only offer I got was from some sissy punk band.

I wanna play some 80s metal stuff, dude. Hardcore **** \\m/ (file://\\m/)/

Edit: *Don't click that, it's not a real link*

[Sensi]

I play the piano.

[Handsome Rob]

I can't play any instruments. I tried learning the guitar, but the damage done to my wrist from a cycling accident prevent me from playing any bar chords . . .:cmad:

[thedeadite]

I took piano lessons for many years as a kid, though never kept up with it and can't play well at all anymore.

I've also played guitar and bass in a band, but I wouldn't say I'm very good at either. Mostly hardcore/punk type stuff. Fast and relatively simple.

[CBGB]

I rock the drums!

[DV8]

drums, vocals, peacepipe :o but wtf is an insturments

[Mee]

I can play piano.

[Ice-man]

I play guitar as my main choice, i also love to play my drums.. i got the drum gene from my dad an am somewhat naturally talented with it... surprisingly.

i play both pretty well with no lessons, i listen to music once or twice and can instantly play it within a few try's.


i also play piano, and bass and can sing decently, my family is musically gifted... i got most of it though =p

[Simon Phoenix]

I'v been playing guitar for over 3 years now...I taught myself, I'm ok but I still have a long ways to go before I'll consider myself good

[R_3]

I play guitar. I play electric acoustic and recently got an effects simulator. Awesome.
I've got a pretty quality digital piano as well and it's fun.
I've never got the hang of drums. I tried a couple of times and it's not happening with me.
For some reason I wanna try the violin. I personally don't know anyone who plays so I've never been exposed to it enough.

[BatSpider]

I obviosly play guitar

[unstoppable]

Bass Guitar aka the Awesomeness

[Girl_Wonder]

I play the piano...the electric one with those little light up keys that tell me which note to play next :D

[Alexia Dark]

I once taught myself how to play Mozart on the piano when I was five.

It was the 'Drink Milk, Love Life' ad campaign song.

Seriously though, I wish I'd had the time to learn an instrument. There was just never enough money for private lessons, and I had no desire to get up at 5:30 so I could take early morning band on top of doing choir after school for 2 hours.

[unstoppable]

What kind of music do you play?

*Please don't say Fallout Boy*
I'd like to learn some hard rock type stuff and some metal

Also if you have a Bass it's blasphemous if you can't play da Funk

[Doomed Hero Rising]

I play drums! YEAh marching band!

[jokersminion]

I was a band geek in High School and can play the french horn and trumpet. Woot! I wanted to play drums but my mom wouldn't let me. I plan on taking lessons someday and would also like to learn the guitar and piano.

[Clobberin' Time]

I sing, play guitar, bass, piano and to a lesser degree the drums.

[Sentinel X]

I can play the piano.
I have a guitar but I don't play it and Im not interested; For some reason I never liked the sound of acoustic guitars playing by themselves.

I want to know how to play the flute and violin.

I've been playing guitar for 13 years and can play basic piano too.

[BlackSymbiote]

I used to play the trombone and the trumpet, but I haven't played the trumpet in years, thanks to a band teacher who decided to make me the scapegoat for why everyone in the class would suddenly start talking to each other.

I pretty much just gave up. He killed my interest.

Recorder.

[The Dude]

Saxophone (mainly alto and bari, with occasional tenor)
And I can fiddle around half decently on piano, never took lessons or anything, just mess around.

[simplysuperhero]

Wish I could play guitar and sax. Better at air-guitar.

Though I have a good musical ear if that makes any sense.

[ChickenScratch]

Electric guitar. I collect and restore them as well. I play a bunch of other stuff, I've got perfect pitch so I can figure anything out pretty much.

[Marx]

I play the kazoo :yay:

You are a god among men. :oldrazz::cwink:

Wow, this thread is still kickin! I am learning piano now..

[Kurosawa]

Very sloppy drums years ago, nothing now. I can't sing a lick.

[xMaNiAx]

Drums(including a lot of percussion instruments like bongos), Guitar(Electric and Acoustic) and i haven't played the bass in like 3 years so im pretty terrible on that.

[Cunning Stunts]

I want to learn how to play bass - I hate having no musical talent at all.

I had no musical background or skill whatsoever when I picked up bass. After over two years of self-teaching and watching random videos, I've picked up quite a bit. You'd be shocked what you can do with an instrument with a bit of dedication. Hell, I can do Fight Fire With Fire fingerstyle, now. I love it.

[SpeterMan3]

Guitar.... wanna learn piano and drums.

[Matt Mortem]

I want to learn how to play bass - I hate having no musical talent at all.
The bass is a fantastic beginners intstrument because you'll find that you can learn songs quiet fast once you get the basics down. I primarely play the bass (rockin Primus :hehe:), but I can also play the guitar fairly well. I'm learning drums and keyboard right now because I want to be a one man band goddammit

[onl333halfevil]

E---0--------6--5----------0--------6--5----------
speaking solely in terms of the intro where he plays it clean, he actually doesnt fret the G on the Dstring (5th fret). He hits the open G string so the note rings out while he hits the A# and A. Listen to it, you'll hear it.

[Spider-Who?]

http://line6.com/podx3/ is this any good for recording stuff on your computer?
I have the X3 Live. I love it. It takes some tweaking, of course, especially when you got to record (throttle back on the distortion some, it will do wonders to your recorded tone). It works pretty well when you plug in direct into your computer, but I also use a Tone Port for recording as well (kind of like a POD, but in software form and meant to be used as a computer recording interface).

[Go Web Go!]

I have a Fender strat (American Standard) It's in real good shape despite having it for a little over a decade. You would think I've mastered the whole playing guitar thing by now, but I'm just ok. I wish I were a god on the thing, but I'm not so smooth with it in terms of moving from one chord to the other, etc. I am pretty decent at playing songs by ear though.

[Emma Frost]

I can play a violin sort of. i played it in middle school and haven't touched one since

[NightBeetle]

Yep,been playing the bass guitar for the past 4 years.

I've been playing drums for about two years.

[SpideyInATree]

I have been playing guitar for 12 years now. It was my twelfth year just in the middle of June. Play in an industrial hard rock band called Glitchpoint right now. I also have been dabbling in some bass as well as one of the songs we play has been calling for me to play bass.

[ComicChick]

:csad:

maybe i'll reconsider.

[Cunning Stunts]

You know how many times I've heard, "Oh, you play guitar?"

"No, I play bass..."

"Oh, that's cool too! So can you sing me a song while you play?"

"... Well, maybe Creeping Death?"

":("

I can't sing. :(

[Go Web Go!]

A banjo? Woooey!

I can/can't play a lot. Send a request my way. I'll see what I can do for ya ;)

[ComicChick]

[Changeling]

I play drums and guitar.

[redmarvel]

My favourite instrument should only be played with in private ;)

However I can also finger a clarinet and tickle a piano a little bit.

[Cunning Stunts]

HA! Is it bad that I actually laughed out loud at that?

[redmarvel]

[Eklypze]

I used to play tuba in marching band in middle school. Was actually pretty cool we got to play the Star Spangled Banner on field at a White Sox game when I was like 13. I also used to play bass but was never really any good so I gave up on playing instruments and started rapping. I quit rapping about 2 1/2 years ago. Music was my life and I still love music but I think Im more suited for comedy than music

[redmarvel]

Well, my musical world just got turned upside down by that comment. :p

When your musical world is turned upside down it's important to remember to maintain control of the liquid release valves. You don't want them releasing their liquid prematurely and you don't want the liquids released in the wrong places... this could lead to poor performance. :grin:

[Bat-Gasm]

I still love music but I think Im more suited for comedy than music

Sometimes they are the same.

Think about it, might be awesome.

[Lasirius]

I play the harmonica and some piano. Could never learn to play guitar even though I always wanted to. :csad:

[pixeltastic]

i've always wanted to play the keyboard, but i just have never learned. at 20 i feel like i'm too old to learn to play an instrument.... sort of like how i think i'm too old to learn to swim.

[Matt Mortem]

You're never too old to learn an intrument. I just turned 20 and I'm just now learning the drums. I can already do guitar and bass and enough keyboard to get by.

[Bnightwing]

I think learning basic theory is fun. It helps me play my instruments better.

What about if you play strings? Just keep slappin' away? ;)

[Metamorpho1977]

I can play anything as long as it don't have strings.

[greenrage36]

Drums and percussion (The kit get's most of the love though...20+ years!!)
