How many musicians do we have on these wonderfully evil forums?

I play guitar. Here's a piccy of mine.



Tell us and show us what you play!

I play guitar...I'm not brilliant though. Just working on my solos.

I play a tiny, tiny bit of acoustic guitar and other than that I can sing. Also, awesome guitar Danny, you should check out http://www.freiheitguitars.com/home.html

Oh yeah I sing too. Sung to the same 1000 people twice...one time per year. And I sung to about 300 once as well.

I play saxophone and guitar.

I play guitar at a fairly lame standard. I can do most of the basic stuff, but nothing that fancy. I just don't put the effort in really. My first instrument is the piano, which I think I'm moderately good at. I'm working through various Beethoven piano sonatas (picking out the movements that I can play ) at the moment, but I don't really practise enough.

Ah yes, DoomedOne reminded me. I also ply saxaphone...2nd sax at the moment.

I play the viola.

Cool, I like violas. And saxamaphones too.

That's our school orchestara to a tee. We have 2 electric guitars, a base, 6 saxaphones, a keyboard, a billion violins and 5 violas. 8 flutes and 5 clarinets.

I personaly am a terrible musician and I don't belive I'll get any better! (than enlists knowing how to play an instrument) I could never take my fingers away from the keyboard long enough to pick of a guitar.

I play basically everything I can get my hand on. I started with the drums, then guitar, piano, bass, and a little bit of mandolin, but for the most part I'm a bassist.

My Insruments:

I play an slightly older model, but basicaly the same (same color).


My acoustic bass

And I can't find a pic of my guitar. It's a 2003 Ovation Collector's Edition.

*Cough*Baseplayersarelowerlifeforms*Cough* ...Ah, that's better.

Nah, I like bass.

Bassists are cool - especially if you want to be in a band...

How dare you insult Bassists! I'll have you know Chris #2 plays base! So does my friend Cameron.

Hehe, reminds me of kids in the hall. They make a song about base players not getting to go to parties and getting over looked.

Fender Stratocaster... Nothing more... nothing less, like to play around with it taking sick guitar solo's on my bedroom floor

That kinda freaked me out, one of my nicknames is Chris #2.

Anyways, bass players are far cooler because it's our job stand all alone and be cooler than everyone else. Also, from information I've gathered bassist typicaly have deeper voices.

And actually I'm a better guitarist than bassist, but seeing as how I'm the only one who can play bass amidst my friends, I have been deemed a bassist.

I personnaly love bass, for they really help keep the band alive. Anti-Flags amazing guitars would be alot less awesome without bass. Also, Chris #2 does bass solos. Yay!

Ah yes...

Here's a pic of it...

Nice. Did you ever check out Freihiet guitars?

Sweet... My father have made a few guitars, so I hope I can to sometime and maybe set on some real cool artwork on it too

Nice site Red!

I thought you would like it, my friend told me about it because it's his dad's friend who makes them. Everyday I go to that site and my jaw drops.

i play the air guitar!
here is a picture of it:

Amazing.

Wow Shogun. That reminds me, Me and my friends were going to put an air guitar on eBay.

i'd like to see who would be stupid enough to purchase it. come to think of it, that's a damn good idea

I Play the cello but don't have a pic of it.

(FYI a cello is essentially a really big Violin, that is held at the knees instead of the shoulder.)

dude, that is awesome. Cellos are awesome.

Indeed. Cellos are said to be the bees knees.

I know someone who plays the cello, but he's wantin' to switch to bass. More recruits for my army of bassist that will soon take over the world. The first to be killed off will be the Mexicans (no offense). Oh, wait, I need to make this politicaly correct some how, eh... down with white southern males? Ya that should do it.

Why Mexico? Land reasons? Strategic reasons? Personnaly I would start with nuclear power plants all across America. Some of them only have police security.j

Too true. I was thinking of buying myself one a while ago. Maybe I should after all...

I play to violin, what can I say, I'm a romantic

Hehe, that reminds me of the "Channler is such a pimp" comment Dantrag said. But yeah, violin is very cool.

I'm dissapointed. I don't think I've seen anyone say:

"Hey j00, I play piano!"

Omg that rhymed.

Anyway:

Hey j00, I play piano!

5 years of experience. A couple of thousand people performed to, in total. That's about it.

I have some experience with the acoustic (sp) guitar as well. I can play Everybody Hurts, with REM. Oh yay. Only after 1 day, now w00t

A couple of thousand? Is your real name Elton John?

if it is, I will give him a slow, painful death.

I guess Elton John isn't all bad though...he gives Family Guy someone to make fun of.

You don't like Elton? I think he's ok, I don't like some of his music but hes all around a nice guy. And thats Sir Elton John to you!

Err. I'm so like, NOT Elton John.

In total, anyway. Like, in total. A bit above 1000 people in total. A couple was, overexaggeration. As always.

so, I'm debating.

I need (maybe it's want, but we won't tell dantrag that, will we?) a 7-string guitar.

What do you guys think; another schecter, or an ibanez? I like them both...

Ibanez. Feinately Ibanez. My favourite guitar makers....avec le jem et le JS series.

Ibanez, most definitaly.

How hard is it to play the guitar? Oh, I also used to play the piano

Depends..

For some who learn the grips fast... and are good with their hands it can be pretty easy as long as u can switch grips fast without 'error', remember them of course

I've only played guitar... 3 years now, dont play that much but in the start it wasn't that hard until I forgot the grips But to learn the general stuff and just play it isn't that hard

I've been playing the acoustic for about three months now and have found it pretty easy. I've written about two or three openings.

seeing as you've played the piano, Channler, I would say that you could easily adjust to guitar.

And all the people that are screaming Ibanez; have you played both? I mean I have, but I hear that Ibanez guitars have weird bridges taht put your guitar out of tune very quickly.

Oh, and carvin has now made its way onto my list.

I play the piano.

Mine looks a bit like this:



Doesn't have three pedals though.

I play piano. Looks like that one ^ but it's wooden and like Elongar's has two pedals. I've been playing for about...*thinks* six or seven years. Yarr!

Sweet, I played the sax in middle school and some highschool. I still get it out every now and again.



I just started playing the Viola. I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Rockin out some Bah Bah black sheep and My Favorite Things (sound of music). oh yeah, i so rock. lol!



Stand up Bass is where its at and if not I settle for an acoustic.
Really depends on what sound you want.



I feel bad for anyone who doesn't know that. In my opinion if someone doesn't know what a cello is they are not a "true" music fan. But again, thats just my opinion. Oh yeah, I wish I had a cello. I'm making a home-made one. Better than nothing I suppose lol.

Here is the list of instruments I actually am proficient at and then another list for the other one's I own and am working on. I will post a pic of all of them together later or tommorrow because most of them are at my friend's and I's band pactice room place thing at my friends parents work.

So here goes...

Proficient Instruments

Acoustic Guitar- 6 and 12 string
Piano/Keyboard- Although the other sometimes guitarist sometimes piano player in our band is much better than I. (classical training)
Banjo
Mandolin
Harmonica
Recorder- Alt, I would like to procure a tenor and bass one also.
Kalimba- African finger piano
Saxaphone- Alto

Not So Proficient Instruments

Accordian
Viola
Trombone
Flute

Looks like we have a one man orchestra there....

Nice to see some dedicated musicians here though

By the way, my piano isn't that polished......as in the picture...
