Does anybody plan an instrument here? What do you play? And what have you learned to play recently, or what are your favourite songs/styles to play in?
I play the.. guitar.. and today I picked up Hey Hey by Big Bill Broonzy and that's been pretty fun to jam to. I think my favourite songs to play are Guabi Guabi by George Sibanda, Rag Mama Rag by Blind Boy Fuller or Mississipi John Hurt stuff. Ragtimey blues stuff is fun, gets ya toes tappin', y'know?
I play the piano. Took lessons for about 6 years. I have a stack of sheet music for Final Fantasy songs, as well as the theme from Doctor Who, and I have a complete scorebook for every recorded Beatles song.
I played the alto sax when I was young, but I haven't played in many years.
I failed at guitar, so I took up harping. It actually lasted for about six months, but then I lost interest when I had to replace the one I done broke.
I can play Clarinet, Cornet, Soprano Cornet, Trumpet and can do a little bit of piano!
When I played Brass I had the solo parts and we'd do a lot of numbers like "The Great Escape" which I loved, but a lot of boring hymns. So when I'd get home I'd play the Wallace and Gromit theme tune because I can play by ear and I didn't need the sheet music. :love:
Guitar.
Still learning, but can play a number of sweet campfire tunes. My voice is too deep to sing a lot of good songs properly though.
Ive lost my touch with the piano but I use to be mediocre.
I can still play most chords on a guitar by sight.
I can make a few reasonable notes on a violin
I am currently learning the harmonica and can usually play something by ear if it doesnt use too many non major notes (cant bend my notes yet unfortunately)
I can also play the recorder
I have an average singing voice.
I played violin when I was younger and bass for a very short time during my teen years.
I've alllways wanted to play saxophone but the orchestra teacher in middle school said I needed two years of clarinet to do so and I said smurf that.
I used to play cello. Not in a really long time, though.
I was in enough music classes for a while that I actually know a lot about music theory and such, though. I can still hum a perfect A on command. Neat party trick. (Actually not, but.)
i got to like level 3 or 4 piano, know some guitar chords, and can pretend to play bass as long as no one's telling me what key to play in
edit: your heart strings is what i play baby :kisx:
I used to play the clarinet back in high school. Quit before my senior year though. Before the clarinet, I tried the trombone, but it was too big for me and it was a hassle carrying around school. I also knew how to play the cello in fourth grade. :) Never tried to play anything else. I would like to learn piano and/or guitar at some point in the future though.
I took up the classical guitar in March, and I'm still crap at it.
I can play a simplified version of Dear Friends and that's about it. Not like these classical guitarists who can play 2 melodies at the same time a la lonlonjp.
Used to play the recorder, guitar, and piano til college life murdered all the free time in my life.
I can still play on piano the first half of Aerith's Theme and Yoruma's River Flows In You but that's about it. I can probably still do basic chords on the guitar and easy notes on the recorder. :)))
This thread happens a lot.
I've played the guitar for about 12 years now, the bass for 11, drums for 10, and I picked up piano over a year ago. O_O
I should really be much better than I am. xD
I am pretty masterful at the Air Guitar and Air Trumpet. :kakapo:
I hope I can still play the euphonium a little.
We can be a mini brass band next year Jaggins.Quote:

I play bass, but I dabble in piano, guitar, and harmonica. I like rock, but I also enjoy blues and folk.
I'm okay enough I guess, but I could never play for someone's entertainment for reasons other than schadenfreude.
I play the saxophone. That makes me a cultured sonofabitch. :bigsmile:
