    Dancing Chocobo To see a marching band...

    Have you ever played any instruments?

    I learned to play the cello when I was in middle school. I quit about halfway through high school, though, largely because of scheduling conflicts.

    People tell me I've got a good sense of rhythm and a good musical ear; too bad I never put any of this to good use, though. Well, outside of messing around in FruityLoops, I guess.

    (SPOILER)Guys I have full faith in our abilities to quote this entire song in thread topics

    I don't play instruments, I mess around with the odd guitar but I've never taken formal lessons or bothered trying to self teach to learn to play properly. The girl I'm dating at the moment, Caity she plays around 30 instruments, chief among them is the French Horn.

    I play guitar, bass, drums, and a little bit of piano.

    Guitar... for years.. internet-taught - The idea was to learn songs I could play at bonfires and it worked out splendiforously.

    Learning piano now.

    Violin, which I randomly took up at 16! Tuition then self-taught (my teacher moved away... probably due to her ears being subjected to agonising torture)

    My granny Sadie tells me that when I was very little, she and Granda Jack and I were at some pub having lunch, and I started drumming on the tables using the forks or something. And people gave me money because I was so good

    Also I had to play the Recorder in primary school because, you know, I went to school. In England. That's what you do. I've derped around with FruityLoops some (and before that Music on the PS1) and I've been told I have a vague talent, I could probably develop that into something but,

    eeeehhhh, effort.

    She's Australian so no she's not Asian. Though she did play for one of the top orchestra's in Australia so I guess that might have something to do with the decision to learn so many instruments.

    There has never been an instance in the history of the world of a woman playing cello and not being extremely hot. I don't know what it is about a woman with a cello, but every guy I know is into it, and every woman I know envies it.

    My husband is a drummer and was in the marching band in high school. The only instrument I ever learned was recorder in college.

    Amen. But any girl playing any instrument (except piano and maybe like a tuba or something) becomes instantly hotter in my eyes.
