| I'm back. |
| I used to play the baritone/euphonium and a little trombone in middle and high school. Stopped after graduating because I didn't continue into the college music program. I wish I knew the piano and violin though. |
| I play guitar and piano. I took guitar lessons for 4 years, and I taught myself how to play piano (which I've been doing since I was little). |
 |
| Well, i'm one of those people who flit from thing to thing! However i have played Guitar, Violin and Piano. I probably stuck to Guitar longest mainly because my father plays also! Oh and i played recorder back in primary school! I think thats all..! |
| I used to take piano lessons, but decided to stop after 3 years (didn't like the overdose of classic I was getting). I kinda regret it, since it's a nice ability to play an instrument but it's definitely not to late to pick it up again. |
| I've played the violin for about 12 years now. I'm not pro material but I'm good enough so that it isn't normally painful to listen to me. |
| Every day you spend without a smile, is a lost day. |
| I played saxophone from 6th-12th grade, but stopped after I graduated. I may pick it up again someday. |
     |
| I don't currently play an instrument. I'd like to learn how to play the guitar, but lack the time or the patience to sit down and learn how to play properly. |

| I play the flute in the school's band and the electric guitar. Still suck after 2 years of lessons and I usually practice 3 times a week for 45-60 each time. |
BlackRubie said: I play the flute in the school's band and the electric guitar. Still suck after 2 years of lessons and I usually practice 3 times a week for 45-60 each time. Which do you practice? The guitar or flute? I usually don't 'practice' the electric guitar, I just play it, and it comes to me. Lately I have been taking online lessons and learning scales/music theory, and I have improved drastically. I play anywhere from 1-10 hours a day on my guitars. You really have to play your guitar every day to become good, not just practice. |
| I'm back. |
| if this wasnt already posted ill chop off my fingers but anyway. i find playing guitar to be such a pain. srsly like everyone plays guitar, and while yeah i practiced everyday for like forever and got crazy good...i just got bored. id much rather play my trombone/synth/drums and songwrite/produce over practicing to get better technically at guitar. i think i played guitar for like 5-7 years (jazz, ska, rock), it just got old. whenever i'm picking up the guitar now, its my classical guitar to play some italian tunes. i was in a swing band for the trombone but i havent been practicing enuf haha. |
| piano for 8 years , alto saxophone for 4, and guitar but i dont take guitar lessons. i end up playing the piano and my electric keyboards a lot more then anything else because it doesnt feel like i'm "practicing", it just like a great stress reliever. i'll play basically anything, i like doing some zeppelin stuff on my electric keyboards..which are the best to expiriment with sounds |

| I play piano, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. Took like four years of classical piano when I was younger. Got bored because I couldn't play the songs I wanted in lessons, so I decided to continue by self teaching. After that I self taught guitar in seventh grade, then bass, then drums. It was quite easy to get into because everyone in my family can play something. I usually fill in with any of the instruments with my friends' bands or the family band. I play for fun, love playing any genre, and performing in general. |

Yeah if you don't practice the guitar for awhile you loose your skills fast. I don't see how you would find the guitar boring though, I have played for just about 3 years, and I have never gotten bored with it, and I play up to 10 hours a day. |

| i play the guitar. suck on it. :D |

| I don't play any instruments, but I do have the ability to play three. I can play violin, guitar, and piano. |

Well the electric guitar is pretty much the flashiest instrument, you don't see many guys who want to get chicks playing the 2nd chair trumpet in the city orchestra, do you? Granted you have to work your ass off for it but nobody cares. I'd say about 50% of the people who play the electric guitar just do it to get girls, money or whatever they want. The other 30% from a combination of the above, and wanting to do it for real, and the other 20% do it becuase they enjoy, and don't give a fuck what other people think. I happen to be one of those people who enjoy playing instruments (mainly the guitar) and even if I never got any publicity, I would still enjoy myself and have fun. I play because I want to, I play when I want too, and I don't do it for anybody else, or any other selfish reasons. Not bragging or anything, but there aren't many true guitarists like me who do it for the love of the music, and the enjoyment it gives them, as they do it for the chicks, the money, and the drugs. You probably just haven't met any real musicians. The guitar is plagued with fakers and posers who do it for the wrong reason because in many peoples opinion, it is the coolest instrument. The violent, trumpet, trumbone, etc, aren't filled with assholes because I'd say 90% if you are playing those instruments, you really want too, and aren't doing it just to improve how cool you are. And as for the never-ending-quest to get better with the guitar, isn't that true for all instruments? Granted the on the guitar you can play many types of music, but if I knew there was a certain 'cap' to how good you could get at the guitar, I would personally not play it. |

| Hey, everyone. Music rocks, so... Here I am. =D Okay, so I can play a bit of the clarinet, percussionist things like the keybords (marimba, xylophone, mellophone, et cetera), I can play a little piano, and I have gone to state competetions and gotten into honour bands playing the bassoon. =D THE BASSOON PWNS ALL. |

If you play an instrument, you are a musician, simple as that, even if it is the triangle or a gong. And yes, I know I came off extremely cocky with my post, and I didn't mean too. And I don't really understand your last sentence, but if you are saying I don't love music, you are wrong, because I listen to music almost ever waking hour, and I can say I really do love it. |
| I'm back. |
| I've played guitar since I was 5. It's been in my family for generations, and my mother is actually a rather well known guitarist. I also play jaw harp, electric kazoo, concertina, harpsichord, piano, balalaika, mandolin, drums, bass, and almost anything esoteric. I can barely remember everything I know how to play. |
 |
| Been playing the drums for about 6 and a half years now. I primarily play heavier stuff (all different metals, you know), just cause that's what I enjoy most, but can certainly, and have, played other stuff. |

| I've been playing Violin since grade 3 (for 7 yrs now) and I started piano this year |

| I learned the piano when I was on 1st grade. Now, I am separated with my beloved piano and my only access is a church which is an hour's drive...*sigh* But the violin, I can play the scales, my neckbones still hurt so I guess that's not counted. The recorder I can play basically. I wish I could play guitar, though. But my fingers can't. I have a defect on two fingers of my left hand (which is also one of the reason my Mom enrolled me to piano lessons). |

Tony Iommi, one of the best guitarists of all time, and the frontman for Black Sabbath, had the tops of his middle and index finger cut off in an accident, and he went to create some of the most famous riffs in history. |
| I'm back. |
| I used to play drums for a long period, but i sold it because i didnt want to continue with it. |
| I used to play piano, but my homeworks and sport took all the time for me Q__Q |
   |
I can play anything I get my hands on (expert cowbell player )And sometimes some thin that resembles a tune comes out |
[url=TNOG.ORG]Im a bloke that runs games nights, in a pub[/url] |
| I've been playing the violin since i was eight and piano for just as much.Started the cello, then quit xD LoLxD. My uncle is taught me to play the guitar a bit, but i wanna learn to play the DRUMS!!YAY!!!xD oh, i once had to play the triangle at an orchestra concert when i was like 8, before the violin xD LoLxD TRIANGLES *ding*...that's all homies!!!PEACE :D |
 |

LolitaDecay said: I can play the piano, recorder (lulz) and bass. Recorders are hardcore, three blind mice ftw. As well as the recorder I can play guitar, bass and trumpet. But I don't have a trumpet anymore |
     |
| i can play the drums. Its fun jam with the band i'm in. ^___^ |
 |
| I used to play the Trombone in Middle School but I eventually got lazy and Mom told me that if I wasn't going to play then I needed to just quit cause she didn't want to keep paying on something I wasn't going to use. I think the only reason I even wanted to play a trombone was because of that Jumbone Commercial. ^^; Oh and I can also play the piano a little. I have a little electric one but it's boxed up right now. ^^; |
        |
| Violin, Piano, and Bass Guitar. The violin for 11 years, the Piano for like..5-6 years (?) and Bass Guitar for like 1-2 years. Bass is by far the best. I love it. It's also awesome to jam within family, cause my brother plays drums and my cousins play guitar. |
| I've been playing the clarinet for 11 years. I'd teach myself the sax if I had one. |

Yeah, I just got a 6 string bass about a month ago, and ever since I got it I haven't really touched my guitars. Just got myself a 100watt Bass Amp today so I can jam even more. Before I was playing it unplugged so I wouldn't ruin my tube amp. I really can't put my bass down. I want to make a band made up of all bassists, who just jam the hell out the whole time. That would be awesome. |
| I'm back. |
| Does singing includes as an "instrument"?. If not, I'll add that I play drums too. |
 |
| I once played the cello for my middle school orchestra in 8th grade, and I really used to play the keyboard religiously. :3 |
       |
| Yes, I play more than four (specify how many in post) (your vote) I've used to play: *Guitar (electric mainly) *Piano *Drums *Base I listen to metal but I only play soft songs on guitar for the ladies =9 |

| I've never played a six string bass... I do love my Dannelectro bari, though. I use that for bass tracks on my stuff. I use that as rhythm guitar and it really adds great richness. |
|
| I play the Viola, Piano, and Clarinet. Viola for 3 years, Piano for a few weeks, and Clarinet for 4 years. |
   |
| I used to play the flute long ago but now I play clarinet (7 years) and I teach myself to play piano. |
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls. |
