I'm very multi-talented. I play french horn, guitar, and piano. Here's me doing all of them at the same time.

I used to play the recorder, of course that was only cause we had to in music class. And I got the ocarina that looks like the ocirina from Zelda Ocarina of time, I ever really played it too long though because I could never learn how to play it right. I also played the piano for like a month then stopped.

I'm not really musically talented I guess. *shrugs*

I "play" guitar. Right now I have a Gibson Faded SG Special that I frigging love to death. She runs through a Marshall AVT275 that I think is alright. My next guitar will be a Martin D-1 acoustic, I hope. I'm trying to learn to play the drums by practicing for about fifteen minutes a day once or twice a week... not going too well.

I know you all are talking about guitars but here is my instruments since I'm a music major.......
I play on a Selmer Recital B flat & A clarinet (two larger ones-B flat on the right, A on the left). My E flat clarinet (the small one) is a Buffet R13.
My flute is an old Armstrong Emertis.
I also play on a Yanagasawa tenor saxophone and Yamaha alto sax.
I also own a Takamine acoustic guitar but that's at home and I can't play too much on it anyway.
Here's a piture of some of my babies!

And so I post my reply to my own thread... :)

I have been playing piano and synths (sell taught) for just over 13 years now. I've freelanced with a few local bands, done session work in small-time studios, and now I have my own band which sort of melds classic 80s hard rock with more contemporary heavy metal.

Here's what I have in my arsenal of sound...

Korg X5D Synthesiser (http://www.korg.co.uk/products/pro_keyboard/x5d/pk_x5d.asp)
Korg Triton Workstation (http://www.korg.co.uk/products/workstations/triton/ws_triton.asp[/url)

And I'm currently saving ye olde pennies for a Roland RS70, so I can have some much better piano samples and an easier way of uploading or creating new sounds :)

I also play drums, but do not own a kit :( God knows how I learned to play, but I'm not too bad.

Squier Stratocaster electric guitar - cheap and dirty but it does the trick.

...through a Boss ME-50...

...to a ENGL Sovereign 100 Vintage 112 amp - hand-made in Germany, all tube. :love:

Fender JP-90 bass guitar - rare make from the only 90s, discontinued after two years. Not bad value for money, and it's a real Fender.

...to a Fender BXR25 bass amp - piddly little practice amp.

I also have a Aria Pro II bass kicking about somewhere - it's a proper piece of crap.

My cello is German-made, not sure of the luthier.

Awful vocalisms, and an instinct leaning towards a bass, but if I play that, then I won't be able to go crazy on stage at my sellout arena tours in three years time.

Percussionist by trade for 15 years and vocalist since I can remember, though not terribly good at either.

I'm currently in the market for a new set, as I sold my old one to a friend who needed it more than I. Usually, I just set up a set at my college or at a local studio and jam my heart away.

Music is the universal artform, knowing no limitations. Never be afraid to express your musical gifts or loves.

Take care all.

I play bass. It's not a very extravagant one, but I like playing it.

EDIT: I forgot to actually SAY what it is. Sammick Corsair. A black one with a pick guard.

-a King trombone (no F-extention :cry: )
-Sigma acoustic/electric
-that's all I own, but I can also play piano and bass guitar
and I've got a half-decent voice

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play any of them recently:( ! However I recently resolved to get back into it. Just haven't actually started.
