I was wondering how many of you guys play music...
what do you play?
I play
some bass....
a ton of guitar
very little but piano
thats about it I love my music how many others do the same?
I think there are like 100 topics like this out there, but I play violin, guitar (both wood and electric), trombones, piano.
I also compose music.
Guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, vocals...
Yep, I'm pretty sure I've posted this before a few times as well.
electric guitar all the way. I'm lead guitarist for my band IMMUNITY. We still need a bassist, we have an acoustic guitarist, a singer, a drummer, myself, and a recorder. We're punk rock and heavy metal I've wrote a few songs let's just say I'm no Edgar Allen Poe.
Yeah his topic does seem a bit familiar....but at any rate, I play French horn, trombone, piano, and a little bit of the flute and the cello. Also, I'm learning how to play guitar. Also, I've got some programs on my computer so I make a little bit of techno and some orchestral-sounding stuff.
I play my Cello mostly. I love my cello. Although, recently, I've been dabbling in Fiddles and Violins. They all make such wonderful and melodious sounds. And, of course my interest has been piqued by the electric guitar, but I have yet to pick one up. It's sad, really.
I'm actually hoping to get a new cello with a pickup installed, so it can compete with the other members of our band. It's really awkward setting it up with mics to pick up all of the sound. That, and a lot of the time the system ends up screwing up. It's such a pain. But, that's what I get for not wanting to spend that extra 500 dollars in the first place.
Here's a question; Has anyone out there bought an instrument that has costed them an arm or a leg, or more than that? I know my cello was hell to get a hold of, but I'm just curious to know if anyone else has done this. :3

Edgar Allen Poe writes stories, not songs 
For me, I'm learning both drums and piano as well as keyboards. It's tough though since my neightbors are very vocal about me making too much noise when I'm practicing.I mostly play the bass and a little guitar. I'm also learning keyboards and starting to do some electronic sounds (drums, synths) for my electro-jazz band.
sonictooth
cool more of a variety than I expected so thats really cool
im learning how to read actual notes better now. I used to be able to read it good but i didn't use it for about 4 years and forgot most of it
I play guitar all the time
I play some piano, just messing around mostly
I'm pretty good at making music using production software like fruitloops if that counts
I play a lot of electric guitar, some piano, drums, and acoustic guitar.
I play mainly guitar, but I'm getting really into using my keyboard with some softsynths. I can also play bass alright.
Keyboard, and Bass~~ but my guitar skill sucks...
Yay for trombonists!!
I primarilly play trombone but also play sax, piano, and am dabbling in trumpet.
I also enjoy creating compositions for middle/high school band. 
heheheheh, mainly I'm a pianist.
I can pass of as a rythm guitarist.
I'm currently experenting with bass guitar.
I learnt drums for a whole year but the tutor was crap so I quit.
I learnt violin for a year too...ugh...and quit for the same reason as drums.
But you're all forgetting that THE VOICE is an instrument!!!! I've got maaaad pipes 
(Lead singer and all)
Speaking of multi-instrumental skills, you should see my band. It's like musical chairs with instruments. We don't go through a set without switching instruments atleast three times. FUN FUN Bass and vocals (in my band), guitar (just for fun), keyboard (sometimes) drums (not so much), percussions (not so often as i would want to) 
yes i lay all sorts of instruments
i make instruments
i play bass althought not very well because i only started this past summer and i used to be able to play some piano.
I play the Acoustic guitar and the piano.
Bass but I played Keyboard.
I play guitar in a band. We haven't written much and don't have a name yet.
I play Keyboard and i sing. I want to play in a band but i don't know where i can find it...
@snowboardalliance: Where did you find your band? Where do you play? And what kind of music??

You play a lot of instruments. I think i learned new ones just by reading this forum. I'm just playing piano, and I think it's enough. Not classic piano ( 
) but more like blues, jazz and pop Well, I've got classical training in Piano, full 10 years, so I'd say I'm pretty good at that, though I wish I'd taken some Jazz piano as well, cause I couldn't improvise if my life depended on it
Besides that, I also started learning classical (not acoustic) guitar on my own, some 2 years ago. I'm still not that good, though I could probably play some punk songs if I wanted I also have an electrical guitar, but I don't play that one as much, mainly cause my only amp is a mastodont Fender Quadreverb, weighs 40 kilos and makes a lot of sound, which my neighbours wouldn't like.
And next to that I'm also doing some synths, bass, recorder,... My first instrument is the guitar, I love to play it, and eventhough I haven't been playing for very long (5 years now) I do practise very intensive, so I think I can say I'm pretty advanced by now.
The instruments I can more than save myself on are the drums, percussion (african rhythems are my speciality), bass guitar, piano and I can sing.
And I compose.
I took alot of music in school, so I've learned to play a few instruments for the school orchestra -
Recorder (still play)
Oboe (tried the Bassoon)
Concert Flute / Piccolo
some Sax
For fun, I play some keyboard and am currently learning classical guitar. I also oft times pick up the Recorder (as stated already), the Irish Tin Whistle, Pan Flute and other various wooden Flutes. Oh, and I sing... and along with my husband, mix music. I enjoyed Music Theory and composing but it's been a long time and I've forgotten most of it.
Favorite instrument is the Flute 
, and I hope to be able to get another concert Flute soon.
It's much more difficult to play one instrument well than play many just so so, and is more useful too.

Perhaps... but I enjoyed the challenge of learning different instruments, and I think it was useful being placed where needed in the orchestra - this was especially so with the oboe, as I was the only one able to play it. So, I really don't think my repetoire is a total waste. | stevebox wrote: |

1) ummm, where? It's just me and my 2 friends. We still need a bass player but basically we just decided to start a band.
2) We haven't played anywhere yet because we've only started writing, need and bassist, and need a singer-But when we do it would just be like local places.
3) I don't know exactly what style you would call it but its like Alternative Rock, kind of punk.i play pc-games (kidding)
what i really played was a saxophone. i played it for 5 years but then i grew tired of it and aventually i quittet.
Keyboard, piano, guitar and I could manage a few simple notes on almost any instrument (except the bagpipes, small little me)
I love music too. I actually produce music for a living and work part time as a sound engineer and a sound designer for film & tv.
I play guitar as a main instrument although my attention has given way to playing bass guitar and keyboard because I think I over played guitar as a teenager and no longer can write interesting music with it.
I think my new instrument of expertise however, is the sequencer and the mixing desk and how you can use them dynamically like an instrument.
I am also obsessed with analogue synthesizers and the sounds they produce and how they effect the way that you play. Roland Juno 6, brilliant!!!
Samuel
The Juno is definitely an awesome synth, you can get some really nice sounds out of it. One of my favourites anyway.
I have played the piano for half a year.
I wanted to make music. So I decided to learn to play something.
I'm making music with FL Studio now. Check out my webpage if you want to hear some ---link removed by rvec----
I play lots of instuments - Trombone, Baritone, French Horn, Trumpet (Not very well yet), Acoustic Guitar (6 & 12 string), Electric Guitar, and Piano (Sort of).
I play clarinet but I'm thinking of dropping it. I mean I'm not going into music for my career, It was just kind of a side thing. Plus it's getting kind of annoying taking up my schedule for school.
Hi
I can play on elecrtic guitar
i play on ir for 2 years but i still can't tune it very well
Well... I practice and maby one day.... i learn to tune it right
If you have some good tabs post me(i'm interested in Punk Rock) I play trumpet. I have been playing since I was in third grade (I'm now 2
, and I still love it... but I am still not much good. I play french horn for high school band, but i play acoustic guitar at home. Im not very good, but im getting there.
Drums, guitar, bass guitar and keyboards.
I play in a garage punk girl group (I'm the only male) in Greece called (quess...) The Meanie Geanies.
Hello
I play piano, I studied music in a private lesson in my home, I learned the musical note, harmonolgy (music harmony), solphage.
I'm very fond of music, specially the classic music..music of Beethoven, Mozart, Shopan, Tshikofski, Buch & many others. Also I like very much music that called "Nations' music" like Hungarian Dance, Zorba the Greek, I mean the music that is a sign of it's country & it's nation.
I like most of the strings instruments like "Harp, Violin, Cello, guitar...ect" & some rhythmic instruments. But I'm actually play only piano & I want to learn more other musical instruments.
Yours
i play guitar, some bass, some piano, cant play drums to save my life (maybe some practice?) and i would love to get some bagpipes
I play the xylophones. a little tuba you know cause the chicks dig it . I can't really play any instrument. Some chords and so on acoustic gitarr, some on bass gitarr and some notes/tones on the flute. And that definitly it.
I play keys. Nothing exotic usually although I have played belgian church bells via a keyboard and blasted out the Phantom of the Opera theme ona a church organ. Tres cool.
I used to play piano when I was younger, but I was actually allowed to quit by my parents after I got bored of it a year and a half later. I guess I can call myself lucky, but I wish I now had the motivation to continue learning it.
After that, I picked up recorder (though that quickly died), and now I'm currently a seven years of flute (well, four if you cut off the three-year break). I've just begun learning the piccolo, and the most amusing thing about that is while looking online for fingering charts, I came across a site suggesting musician-standard earplugs. XD

I play guitar, ( electric ) and am getting lessons every thursday.
Sometimes I play the drum, and sometimes I play the keyboard.I play the electric guitar, I love it!
I play violin, but I mess with the piano on given days. I play mainly classical.
Piano, Drums, and the Didgeridoo. I wail on the Disgeridoo. .........................
I play the violin, can get around the piano enough for Theory and Composition purposes, and can doodle quite a bit on the viola, cello, and string bass.
I can also play a little harmonica, if that counts 
And I can play a little bit of the Chinese bamboo flute (xiao) and the recorder I play cello, piano, bassoon, double-bass, oboe, xylophone, timpani, French horn and I compose music.
I'm a HUGE classical music fan and I'm on tour right now in Denmark and Germany, and I'm going to be having a concert at the Sydney Opera House in June.
I'm VERY musical ^___^
~ Tyler
I'm an obsessive bassist. I own four of the things, electric, acoustic, fretless and six-string. If I see a bass when I enter a room, it doesn't take too long before I'm doodling away. I've been playing perhaps four years now...
Currently working on learning Jaco Pastorius's Chromatic Fantasy for the fretless bass. Anyone who's heard it will know what a challenge that is! I'm currently a little stuck, on a part that seems to demand phasing fingers. Jaco was a monster player.
I also play some guitar and keyboards - the keyboards primarily for MIDI sequencing, which I'm getting fairly good at. I can't play the keyboard very well, but I can use the programs well enough to compensate very quickly. Reason 3.0 is my weapon of choice for sequencing, if anyone's used that.
Well me I play a lot of percussion things. In band at school I am in the percussion section but in my free time I enjoy playing my drum set and my keyboard. I spend most of my time playing hard rock when I am at home.
Also I enjoy writing my own music. yea i play electric guitar, bass guitar, durms, vocal, piano and some equipment about music
if you have musician ear, you would play all instrument
wahhaa.. i play percussion.. keyboard, piano, xylo, and amm.. flute... drums ofcurs... and ammm... yha know wen U play percussion U play lyk pretty much a lot of intrument... (percussion toys)
but hey.. i wana learn guitar really bad!... sadly i dont find extra time for that!

Garbled as it may be, that's true. Music theory is applicable to all instruments - well... standard 12TET theory is applicable to all conventional western instruments - so though you may have to hesitate for a second to figure out how to apply it on a new instrument, theory knowledge combined with a good feeling for rhythm and melody will let you at least have a go on any instrument you can get your hands on.
I learnt to play music on a bass, but I apply those principles to keyboards just as well, and guitar is virtually identical in playing style and theory. There's... one bass technique comes to mind that can't be done on a guitar, but aside from that.I play some piano, some guitar and the tin whistle and the clarinett. And I love to play the keys, just for fun I am able to play guitar, piano and some drums.
I've been playing acoustic guitar for 25+ years. Recently I've been taking up the banjo. I'm surprised how easy it is to sound decent on it. Playing fingerstyle acoustic for years certainly helped.
We've got a piano that I've had the good fortune to move twice (UGH!) that I may get to at some point.....hmm.....
um..... i played guitar in high school. But i give up already. i think i do not have talent on it. i have learnt it for years and played with my friends, but i still cannot did good....
and i learnt violin in univeristy for 2 years. i play it now sometimes, but not always.
What i now always play is the Chinese flute. Do you know ? it's a flute made of bamboo. It sounds very nice, and i can play it good.
i am going to learn saxophone. i bought a saxophone last week. i am so happy. i like music.
Drums, trumpet, piano, guitar, sitar, tabla
I think there's a big difference between "playing" and "playing an instrument well."
Techincally, I could play almost any instrument anyone throws at me - piano, bass guitar, flute, trumpet, guitar .. because I've had some experience learning them. However, the only real instruments I can play impressively are drums and bass guitar.
In elementary school we were written up in a national article for advanced music training. We had a VERY musical school. I knew what a diatonic triad was in 6th grade. LOL I can not go to a ballet, symphony or opera with knowing someone playing.
I played keyboard in a band
I also can play my Greek lyre, and the radio
I am teaching my daughter and son to play guitar, and I can not play one note myself. I've been playing piano for 8 years. I also play tenor/alto/bari sax in my school band. I know some basic guitar stuff. Um, can play a bit of clarinet, and trombone. Thats about it.
I play guitar, and lots of it. I love it. I play piano a little bit too. Took lessons years ago, but quit...now I totally regret it. -_- I play a little bit of the drums too. Not very good at it, though. I kind of want to learn to play the banjo, just because it'd be neat to learn, it's different, and it'd freak my friends out. Hey, I play just saxofon! It's cool! | windrei wrote: |

I have a Chinese flute, though I suppose its more of a clarinet than a flute with regard to hand position. It's a xiao1, bamboo and with a home key of D.
Do you play the xiao or the dizi?I play ... nothing 
I've tried guitar many times but I'm way way too impatient to learn everything by therules ... this is dumb I know ... I prefer a lot more listening and chilling electric guitar! bass! Piano! drums! and sometimes vocals 
I play drums and a little bass. Had me a deathmetalband a couple of years ago, but started to get boring. No melody at all, just going like crazy. blastbeats and all that stuff.
After that i played in a progressive groove oriented band. loads of fun, but after the bass player had to quit, the guitarist and I were the only ones left... and there wherený many good players in the region.
since then, I've moved. some 300 kilometers. and now trying to do the same kind of band again. Influences: transport League, Tool, APC, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mudvayne, Foo Fighters and al that goooooood goooood shit that god gave us (cough cough).
Yep, play the drums, looking to get into playing some bass....Just need money to buy the equipment. God that crap is expensive. If I had a million dollars I would still find ways to beef up my equipment. I play piano, drum and Bass for a living. Learning saxophone now.
I play a little bit of piano, and a little bit of saxophone
i play guitar. once i played trumpet as well but I stopped. but im not gonna stop playing the guitar since i love playing it and i play in a band. we play melodic heavy-metal.
shouldnt this be a poll...? lol the subject title made me think it was...anyways i play the guitar...poorly...and the piano...also poorly...and recorder...the only thing i'm good at...besides anything having to do with computers...lol
hey all, i play guitar, was recently lead guitarist for a heavy metal band but broke up recently
ive got a coule of songs recorded at www.kymsmusic.be if ya wanna have a listen I have the abilty to place the gutair. I don't play it daily though. Its an ok insturment to play. I just lost intrest in it. 
Well, I'm in a music school, but my main subject is opera vocal, so I focus on singing. (You'll hear about me some day, I'm sure ) In my school I have also compulsory piano classes, but I'm not very good at it, and I play guitar for my own joy
I couldn't imagine my life without music. In middle school I played the clarinet I guess that counts
i play drums for 2 years and i now start learning guitar.every great drumer i meet says to me that guitar helps a lot in becoming a beter drummer.your groove time and a lot other staff are geting way better.do you think this is true beacuse i am only in the beggining and i can tell yet and i dont wanna lose time from my draum practising to practice on guitar.

Ive currently been playing for about 3 years. I have a Martin DC-16RE Aura acoustic-electric, and a gibson les paul standard electric. I cant decide which i like better. somedays im in the mood for my acoustic, but most of the time i love pounding out the riffs with my HUGE 30 watt fender amp. That was a joke. I have a couple of nice guitars, but i need to work on the amp. Money dont come easy, especially after spending every dime i had for the guitars.
I used to play the saxaphone. Mostly the tenor but I started on the alto back in middle school.
I did some messing around with on the drums a while back and fiddled with a bass guitar for about 2 weeks.
But I haven't picked up a musical instrument in about 2 years now.
What I really would like to do is learn to play the guitar and not just plunck a few chords and fake it.
I play the piano, have a grade 8 diploma in it.
I also play electones (might be known as organ to some people) and have a grade 1 diploma in it.
Currently trying to self learn guitar, but always end up going back to my piano or electone. some bass, tons of guitar in almost every style, very little keyboards and a bit more drums.

Edgar Allen Poe writes stories, not songs
For me, I'm learning both drums and piano as well as keyboards. It's tough though since my neightbors are very vocal about me making too much noise when I'm practicing. |
learning how to play the keyboard is not that hard.all you have to know how to play was the chords,know your keys,know your minors pass the exam and finito.i'm learning how to play the keyboard also.i am only on grade 2.i'm not that good but when it comes to making my own music,men do i rock.I play a few, I play the electric guitar(Epiphone Les Paul with Gibson pickups, because I refuse to pay over 4 grand for a Gibson. And a Fender Strat in Artic white. Fender 4x12 Deville a fewe pedals)
I also play bass (Fender p-bass with Seymour DUncan 1/4 pounders in there through a SVT 8x10)
Drums too (Just some Pearl i've had forever)
I sing in sever al choirs (Jazz choir, show choir, concert chor)
I play piano (I play my grandfather's old grand we keep downstairs and a organ)
And lastly Alto sax, I suck terribly at horns, but i'm trying.
I'm actually a professional violinist....or studying to be one. Mostly I want to teach violin lessons and I have a small studio of violinists. I'm getting my masters degree at University of Oregon in violin performance.
I was forced to learn piano during my undergrad (every music major has to). However, I certainly don't think I can play the piano, only plunk out a few chords here and there.
I can play flute and I love this instrument. I'm also in school marching/concert band.
I had played piano for eight years but I quit like two years ago. Piano is fun but sometimes you can get bored. I also play tin whistle which is not a really fancy one but I love the sound of it.
I woule love to learn other instruments, too.
when I'm drunk or alone at home, I play the guitarr...
i play trumpet and a little bit piano. i play so much guitar ppl think im practicing for a concert, i play bass occasionally and i won a keyboard but the dust spends more time with it than i do lol
Tuba, saxophone, and bassoon. With some dabbling at the piano.
ok, so most people here play guitar. i think almost everybody somewhere in their life had at learned the basics of guitar.
On me, I've started playing the guitars since high school but.. I dont know i kinda get tired on it and without realizing, I gravitated towards the drums and I stayed playing the said instrument.
I can kind of play the piano, I want to really learn how to this summer. Also, I'm a pretty good singer, at least that's what they tell me.
I play some instruments:
Flute (Because School)
Keyboard (My brother teachs me)
Electric Guitar (I love it)

If you don't know what to do with your keyboard, sell it to me I'm learning piano and I don't have anything to practise at home (staying late in the school to practise is not what I like most ). I don't rather consider buying a piano as they are too expensive (I don't even have enough space in my room ) but a keyboard would be OK. I play guitar, electric and acoustic, and a little on drums, but i´m not too good on drums and i´m missing a hi-hat at the moment, so i mostly just play on guitar now.
I'm a classically trained pianist. Still play at a medium serious level, but no where near where I was in college. I made my living as an organist in churches for awhile...
I have been playing the violin since I was 7.
I also play the guitar, both acoustic and electric. I can play some bass although I don't formally own one. I would like to learn drums someday though.
I took a few voice lessons here and there and can sing decently although I haven't practiced in forever...
I play the piano, cello and violin!
I play guitar and drums, mostly. Guitar for 3 years, drums just a few months. I teach myself pretty much everything I know, but I'm hoping to get a teacher soon.
I own a really beautiful cream Ibanez JTK1 Jet King, a crappier squier strat (that I got for free) and a Canora classical guitar, which needs a new saddle (that I haven't had the time to buy).
In the drums department I have a black wrapped Tama Rockstar 6 piece kit, with ZBT plus hats, crash, ride and splash, Zildjian High Boy china, Zildjian Thick Crash and Sabian China Splash.
Ahhh, the joys of music ok, i was an instrumental music/music theory major in college, so here we go:
Main Instruments:
Electric Bass
guitar (many styles)
saxophone (esp. like tenor)
drums
Instruments i'm pretty good at:
double bass (aka string bass, upright bass)
trumpet/baritone/any three valve treble clef instrument
clarinet
harmonica
piano depending on style
other instruments i've played successfully:
flute
trombone
accordian
xylophone/marimba/etc
jews harp
mandolin
I play guitar and bass. I sing too, I guess my voice is an instrument
I want to learn drums too, I gotta find a drumset though. I'd like to learn piano too. Well I still got my whole life to do that! I play Drums and Piano. I can also sing, but do not do it much.
Currently I am learning guitar.
Yeah I also compose music, I will post my music later when I can get my music website rolling.
-AG007 I play 4 string bass.
Me and my band are trying to composo music too. We have 2 songs in progress, one is almost finished...
who cares about the fact that I play electric guitar, electric fretless bass, electronic drums and electronics (looping machines)? me. and my relatives who get annoyed by me making them listen to my boring new releases.
I'm a composer too, I play piano, but also percussion. I love african percussion, I had the chance to study and play african music from Ghana. I played some latino percussion too. My absolutely favourite percussion instrument is the djembe. My absolutely favourite instrument (well, a percussion instrument too... sort of) is the piano. I use it when composing. And then, the computer (to second the guy who said he playes computer games, hahaha), but I use it to compose, to make music... so it's sort of an instrument...
I play guitar (both electric and accoustic) and harmonica. I also play in a band and believe me there's nothing better than being on stage with another 4 fellas doing what you like the most!
My girlfriend is teaching me to play guitar, and people say I do some great vocals.

You sound very much like me. Although I don't have a bass, I'm pretty good. I play a lot of acoustic and electric guitar, though for a while I stopped mostly. Trying to get back into it. Also, I've recently picked up the violin and I am making progress I play the piano. I play almopst every day but I don´t get much better ? I play guitar. I have a Fender Telecaster (my baby) and an Ibanez RG470.
i'v just started learning guitar, for about 3 months, i always wanna start my own nu-metal band!
I spend almost all my free time now playing my electric guitar. Nothing makes me feel more at pease with myself than to look up a song I like and learn how to ply to it. But I also play drums and bass pretty well. I tried trumpet once... didn't quite work out.
I play the guitar as of now. But too bad, i couldnt have any formal training as there are not training centers in the place where i live. It is really sad and frustrating at times but i try and learn as much as i can, because i love playing the guitar.
When i grow old i would definately want to spend a lot of time composing music and writing songs.
acoustic guitar, violin, and piano... self taught but going at a slow and steady pace
I am a piano teacher and am pursuing my master's in piano pedagogy. I took up the violin in high school and played that throughout college. Lately, it's just piano....
I play the trombone and some guitar and piano!
i mainly play the electric guitar. however, I record a lot of my own music, so i can play rudimentary bass and keyboards.
Looks like there are a lot of guitar players out there... I'm another one! I have classical training on piano, also play jazz and pretty much any other genre on it. Also play (alto and tenor) saxophone and I'm a long way into learning electric guitar (meaning I'm relatively competent). I can work the violin and bass. And sing (and play the previously mentioned instruments) in a band doing mainly rock, but also jazz, acoustic ballads and various odd stuff - learning the guitar to add second guitar for the band - we're five people pretty much incorporating every kind of instrument and combination by now, depending on the song. i play all sorts of guitars and piano..and a little of violin..(: guitar was more of self learnt, but i still like it more than piano though
I used to play the piano ｗｈｅｎ Ｉ ｗａｓ, and I was ok at it... I quit after being stuck on Chopin's fantasae impromtu 
. The left and right hands were too hard to put together. I kind of want to go back playing piano but I don't have time for it anymore.
I also played Clarinet for school band, I stopped when I quit band, and I can't play it anymore... same for the violin. I'm obsessed with music; i love it so much!
I play the drumbs, and a wee little bit of the bass guitar.
I also sing, not too bad either, i must say...
And in the past i've played the violin, recorder and the Zamponia Pan Flute. I am mainly a piano guy - started when I was 3.5 and did lessons until I was 14. Now I just do it for fun, but I am thinking of going and learning Jazz piano sometime soon.
I also dabble with the Guitar, Piano Accordian, Tin Whistle and Low Whistle. Have played Sax and enjoy it but haven't played since high-school. But I can pick up the basics of most intruments pretty quickly.
I also love playing PS2's Guitar Hero! You might think that is wacky, but it is actually a lot of fun and a good challenge. Let's you play like a pro even if you couldn't make amatuer grade on a real guitar to save yourself.
A great way to get kids interested in music too.
I play the cello, and I am doing this a few years, and now I am becoming better and better I can play more advanced and modern music. That's fun.
I play a little bit of piano. It was an on and off lesson when I was still in elementary.
For me, it was more of a knowing the basics of music and I don't have plans of going professional on it.
As of now, I am content with the little music I can make, especially easy ballad pieces. Guitar, bass, flute, keyboards, harp (harmonica), didgeridoo, theremin.
Do I play any of them well? Heck, no! But I like to play. Hellow i am using PSR450 Yamaha, but there is no good voice can you tell me a good voice but i need some mid files also can any one help me
I plays trumpet and keyboard. I have played trumpet in more than seven years so I kow it quite well by now. I started to play keyboard now this summer and it is almost as fun as trumpet. It is also much, much easier to become quite good at it.
I played piano for three years, clarinet for one, and f horn for four. I want to play clarinet again and to start with the trumpet, but I can't justify the expense. Perhaps to celebrate graduation...
Well, it is interesting to see how many people play instruments. I am more than a little amused to see the number of people who play guitars; I had not realized the instrument was so popular.
I play the clarinet. Been playing it for almost 6 years. But i had to give it up because i didnt have time for lessons anymore, as i had alot of work at school .
Also i play high level recorder (), bascially i knew all the notes possible on it. The recorder is really sqeaky once you get to the really high notes lol. I play nothing at all I play lots of stuff, though I'd like to learn more. I currently play guitar (electric, acoustic, bass, all of em'), Trombone, Baritone, very little piano. I can also play the French Horn and Trumpet, just not as well as other brass instruments (the mouth piece's are too small for me ) I've tried several woodwind instruments, such as Saxiphone, BariSax, and Flute, I just don't know how to play them right yet . i play guitar (both electric and acoustic), and a little bit of bass every now and then, but i really want to learn to play drums. i probably would have played drums if my brother had not gotten a guitar
but... if i did learn drums, i could be in a band with MYSELF!!!!
(oh i know i am soo cool ) I play the piano and other keyboards mostly. Also play drums, bass and rthym guitar. I also write songs and compose music.
Hello there fellow musicians! I just got excited as soon as I saw this topic here, it's nice to know that i've made the right choice in choosing FRIHOST. To say the least; I would like to properly introduce myself to all the good people in this community. My name is Mark, im a keyboardist, rhythm gutarist and play the soprano as a hobby. I'm so into collaboration with other musicians since that; in my opinion is one of the best ways to grow in music. I am aslo a composer, arranger and solo performer. Honestly, the main reason i found this site is due to the fact that i've been searching for a free web host to help me in starting a small home-based business that offer services in the field of music. Should any interests arise please do not hesitate to send me a message or two, i'll be more than happy to reply. My thanks to the people behind FRIHOST, and to all in the community. Good day to all Hi I play electric guitar and classical guitar. but i also want to play piano. Hey there! ive seen some guyss interested in learning to play the piano, i have some pdf files on the basics of piano and music theory and ill be glad to send it to anyone via ym. don't worry guys these are open documents and may be shared openly over the web. send me a pm should you want a copy of these files. I play:
1. Bass
2. Guitars (Electric/Acoustic)
3. Keyboards
4. Harmonica
5. Drums
But I still want to learn how to play the violin. A great musical instrument. I also want to play the harp, flute, trumpet, and everything. I want all of it! Music is my life!
I have played the cello for almost six years, but I am still learning at. For the life of me I can't play the piano.
Also, I use a midi program on my computer to make up for my lack of piano skills. I like composing these electronical pieces better than other instruments.
I have played classical guitar for 5 years and after I started playing electric guitar. Now I am learning keyboards and my dream is to play drums!!!
I'm playing the piano and trying to learn the guitar. There are so many other instruments I want to learn though!
Since so many people insist on mindlessly creating duplicates of this topic, it has now been made "sticky" and "official." Please do NOT create any additional topics about this.
I play guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, organ, piano, a little bit on drum, keyboard....
First : sorry for my bad English, I'm from Belgium...
I play violin in a folkmusic group with 14 other friends

Here is the website of my group "Bouche à Oreille 2",
http://www.bao2.be.cx
Ciao! I've been playing piano for 5 years, and I still have 2-3 years left well, here it goes. i play guitar : both electric and acoustic. i like everyone else i guess, prefer electric - lead and rythm.
i also learnt keyboard.
i know bass too, though i still suck at it i guess.
there seems to be quite a lotta variety here. i am quite surprised 
im playing a lot of guitar and i played 7 years a violin and i wanna know if i should quit or continue studying violin
I play the Bass Guitar, piano and the Harp.
lol I played tuba in high school.
i play electric guitar ;o
I started on bass pretty early, but guitar mainly, since I was 16.
ive been playin guitar since my bday(2 months ago) and im quite good @ it. apart from tht i dont play anything else.
I've been playing guitar for like 4 years... still learning advanced techniques
Na, I never understand nites and akk that kind of stuffm so I've just given up. Never liked music anyways, and I'm really happy that I never have to do it again in my life I have been playing guitar for four years. I have now an electric (Washburn) and an ovation (applause) guitar.
I am guessing, as I haven't read ALL the posts, that a lot of these are big lists of stuff. Here we go (LOL):
(In order of appearance):
Anything at primary school - guiro, cabasa, maraca, chime bar, (melodica, although it smelt and everyone was scared of it)
The mighty recorder - descant, then tenor
The piano (pronounced Pee-Annah)
Percussion (to a highly sophisticated level):
Kit, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Vibes, Marimba, Timpani, Tibales, Bongos, Congas, Toms, Snare (virtuoso), Triangle (virtuouso), Windchimes, Castanets, Tubular Bells, . . .
The Guitar (pronounced Gee-Tarrrrrr!)
The Bass Guitar
I can also sing, though all I want to do is play the didgereeedoooo!
I play piano, and i like to hear a lot of piano music, i recommend you DAvid Lanz, his music is the best of the world, please heat it.
Well, I play mainly the Drums and Guitar, however I used to play Violin and Piano.
Well, drums are probably the coolest instrument if I would choose any.
Gitar is nice too, but fluet and that kind of stuff, na, not really
Sincerly,
Johan I have very strange arsenal of instruments.
1. Violin
2. Mandolin
3. Piano
4. Saxophone
5.Harmonica
Yeah, music is fun! I play in an advanced level on the pianoand violin. The others are just for fun. For instance, I bought a very cheap saxophone during a vacation and the mandolin came from an auction. It's pretty old! Like 100 years or something. There are like crack and everthing.
Anyway, Violin is my foremost instrument, and I have been playing semi-professsionally since 2 years. It's a great fun since you can play in an orchestra. The down-part is that you'll have to constantly change the strings and the hair on the bow. Another disadvantage for violinists is that injuries often occure due to the fact that you have to hold the violin with your chin and shoulder, which can cause fatigue when played too long.
Violin is a beautiful instrument, when you play it the right way. It's the most expressive instrument in the orchestra. This means that it is a very flexible instrument to use and suits more or less any genre of music.
Violin fingering and bowing techniques can be very induring
I program synthezisers on my laptop. Så electronic music. I also sample a lot of sound wich I use in my sound art.
I have few guitars: fiesta red fender jagstang, sunburst washburn strat, red series 10 bass, and a applause black plastic acoustic.
I have yamaha keyboard I mess with once and a while. I also used to play trumpet and baritone tuba in middle school.
Everyone seems so talented here, and a lot of us know lots of instruments :O
I personally only really play the piano really well. Despite my age, being 16, I already teach it. I'm getting a diploma for it right now ^^ ~
I played flute and trumpet in concert bands, and self learned quite a bit of violin.
I hope to one day learn the acoustic and electric guitar, just becuase they sound so cool. I also would like to learn the Chinese instrument, the Erhu, for it's crazy good sound. I would like to sing also XD
I can play a little bit of drums, but I don't have a drumset or anything, so I just play around with my friend's.
Same with guitar, but I think I have been improving since I borrowed it.
Piano! The instrument I am best at, but still suck at, surprisingly.
Well, i've been playing piano for 6 years, and am currently in grade 10, and i'm also third in Ontario, so i'm very proud of that.
Besides that, I play keyboard (yes, keyboard and piano ARE different), guitar, trombone, violin, drums, and timpani... and basically anything else I can pick up and fool around with.
You've gotta love music I play the saxaphone, guitar, clarinet and guitar. I love to play music, but rarely get enough time. I picked up music from my dad who is the most musicaly talented person (besides people in huge successful bands) I have ever met. He can play any instrument you put in front of him. He plays the fiddle, guitar, piano, and saxaphone at home, but can also play the drums and bass and all kinds of other stuff, we just don't have those at home. He used to be in a band, and dropped out of school for a bit to try and make it big in nashville. Nowadays he plays for special events at church and school and whenever somebuddy needs him. He is my musical hero and I'm glad I got to share that.
Of course i play a few instruments! Doesn't everybody?
I started playing the piano when i was like six years old. Had the greatest teacher ever, even thoug she never got me to know notes. I just played by the ear from the beginning instead..
When i was about 10 i got my first drumkit and got into my first band maybe a year later.. Punk is a great way to start.. Doesn't take all that much skill.. after i couple of years i was playing in a marching band, in a death metal band (wich i also sang, or rather screamed in) in a HardCore vegan band (I wasn't a vegan thou') and in a jazz quartet.
I quit playng the drums when i was about 14 och 15. Got my first guitarr when i was 13 and learned it by myself. Played all the time in a bunch of bands and at parties. Started making some money for playing when i was maybe 16. I mostly played pretty strait forward rock, but i wanted to play jazz. Jazzguitarr is so cool!
When i was about 14-15 i discovered the electric bass! The greatest instrument in the world! It started as it does. Starting a band and not finding a bass player i thought that i could play it, i mean i can play the guitarr, whats the differense? Thats the great thing about bass. Almost anyone can play it. But the thing is to go from beeing able to play it to actually beeing a bass player it's such a long step. Today i cant stand a guitarrist playing the bass. It just doesn't work. I've played the bass for almost everyday in ten years now. I play eather a 4-stringed Sadowsky or a 5-stringed Music Man Stingray. I've got a 4-stringed fender jazz bass without the bars (i guess it is called) wich i use if i cant take my contrabass with me...
Thats the next thing. I hope it is called a contrabass in english to. (It is in swedish) Otherwise, it's the stand up, violin looking accoustic bass i mean.. Played it for seven years now, I love it, but hate to carry it..
I also cheat on som perc. like congas and djembes and stuff..
If you ask me i could play some harmonica for you and a few songs on the accordion.. Hmm.. have i missed anythig?? Hmm.. hope not.. I play harp for.. uh.. 5 years now. really like doing it, but I don't have much time becouse of school. Electric Guitar!
Re-creating Queens of the stone age riffs is what i enjoy doing
I play...
Electric guitar
Acoustic guitar
Harmonica
Keyboard/Piano
Digireedoo (Seriously.)
Aaand I sing, if that counts for anything..
*Self-advertisement*
I sing and play guitar in a band called First Draft, check us out if you want...
http://www.firstdraftband.com
If you don't want to, then well, don't. I play the music keyboard and a little of the recorder.
My favorite is guitar,then mouth-organ,I also play the Chinese traditional bamboo flute.I have never played the piano.
Im playing synthesizer and on music workstations.
I play piano, guitar, and drums.
i wish i had any of those here in college.
I play saxophone in my school band. it is so fun. because of that ive met so many hot women in the band and chorus. i feel like a lucky man because of that.
i pla da comp i dont play a instrament
i used to drum for a band
I played guitar once in a band for about 2 years, i played both solo and comp.
Then for a while i also played Bas-Guitar, but that was to boring.
I also played a little piano and violin in school when i was about 10 years old, but i do not remember how to play that anymore.
i am a basser a singist a guitarer a sythist and well generally anything. mainly a prducer though.

hmmm thats probably because you werent a good bassist to be fair mate. Bass aint boring unless your after the blink fashion root note hogging!
EDIT:
'SYTHIST'
pronounced: s-eye-th-ist
meaning: not some kind of jedi but in fact a ridiculous mispelling on synthist | Quote: |
| Then for a while i also played Bas-Guitar, but that was to boring. |
If you play it in a boring way, then yes. Any instrument has the capacity to be boring or simple. Like playing constant power chords on a guitar. Boring, simple. Root notes on a bass. Boring, simple. White Stripes lines on drums. Boring, simple.
But do me a favour. Check out 'Helios' or 'Dabuda's Memory' by Michael Manring. Then tell me bass is boring, or simple.
Any instrument is just as simple, boring, complex or interesting as you make it, and if you couldn't put together any interesting basslines... well, that's your failing, not the instruments. I was a boner (trombonist) in high school. And I feigned playing bass for a year and a half in a shitty garage punk band (blah), maybe you heard of us? maxfarm? .... *crickets* yeah didnt think so... youre lucky
I play guitar, piano, organ, xylophone)
That's all, 'cause I'm studying in Lyceum of Arts)
I play piano but I havent played for a long time so Idk...
It seems like just about everyone in the world, myself included, plays guitar...
Maybe I should have picked something a little more oddball!!
I am learning Keyboard and use of Synth.
I have played Guitar and Drums.
I also sing, :]

I play the trombone...It's a pain in the butt, my slide lock broke...It just fell off...i play guitar and have played for almost 10 years. but i hang out with heaps of bands and guitar freaks, that its just such a turn off to hear all that geeky technical jargon. i just want to talk about the music!
Ive played guitar for about 8 years, cello for 4, and starting jazz piano in a few months.
im also real big on composition and music production.
Pure bassist. Yeah.
I love playing rock, jazz, blues, metal; well, just about anything. Playing along to records is the best way to get better at any instrument, and I do it all the time.
I play mostly guitar. I am a song writer and also play piano, bass, keyboards and drums. I program midi and sing as well. My band is working on a new album and want to play out, so we need to get a bass player. Any of you in the Tucson AZ area? Contact me.
Thanks!
Phil
www.dawnrocks.com I like to play keyboard and organ
I'm a failed violinist! ahahahahaha *weep* I just got inspired again because I just witnessed a little kid half my height and half my age play at twice my skill!
:O
To be more exact, college level. She's going to be sent to Europe to study the instrument, can you believe it? i play the piano and the guitar. i'm quite good at playing both instruments. i practice a lot because i play rythm guitar on my band and we occasionaly have gigs. i also fool around with the drums if i get the opporiunity to get a hold of one, a drum set is realy expensive so i rarely see one. playing the piano is something special for me, only a handful of people play it so it makes me a handful. haha! playing the guitar is a real turn on for gurls, and i can attract gurls that are musicaly inclined! haha! practicing has its rewards!
I play guitar been doing for a few years, a Gibson SG is my favorite little hoe. the amplefier at home is a Line 6 spider II and at the "reharsal-warehouse?" (dunno the english term) I use a Peavy Bandit I play the guitar, paino (well mainly midi keyboard), and drums. But put any other instrument in front of me for long enough and I'll be playing that too. Yes, thats how I roll. Quite keen to put some focus into learning a brass or woodwind intrument.
I play electric guitar, my favourite style is heavy metal.
I play electric guitar...a little acoustic as well. Mainly I play heavy metal, but I do a lot of rock/hard rock-type stuff too. I'd like to branch out my styles a little and broaden my horizons, ya know?
I play electric and acoustic guitar. I also play a bit of piano. I've played guitar and sung in a band for the last 2 years or so. I play guitar pretty much every day but don't get much chance to play piano anymore .
You can check out my band at http://www.kokura.co.uk if you feel like it... well not yet anything until now, but surely i'll learn drums very soon... i play the trumpet. and i am a dj also.
website comming soon!!
Please look at it when the website is ready!

I play electric and acousic guitar.
I have a Epiphone Les Paul Cherry Sunburst electric and a Tanglewood acoustic. My amplifier is a Marshall Valvestate and I have a wah pedal, a chorus pedal and a Marshall Guvnor overdrive pedal.
I've played drums since I was about 9, and bass guitar since I was about 14. I recently moved, so I had to sell my drums. I was going to hold onto the cymbals, but I just decided to sell everything. I miss those Z Custom Dyno Beat hats. I'll get another set of drums when I move out.
And, I used to have an Ibanez SDGR 6 string bass. I bought it used for like $750, and I sold it a few years ago to buy stuff for my drums. I regret selling that thing every day. That was the best bass I 've ever played, and it sounded so sweet. 
I play the guitar, and some piano
