What musical instrument do you play? Or would like to?

[Tigerofthewind]

I was wondering if anyone here at Hongfire plays/played/or would like to play an instrument of any sort.

Personally I play the violin and used to play the piano. An instrument I'd like to play is the Cello or Flamanco on the the guitar.

[Kitee]

When I was in highschool, I played the violin in the Strings course. Then I started learning how to play the piano 2 years ago.

[nick64]

i tried Violin and flute before.. failed miserably...

though a tutor told me my hands and fingers are perfect for piano playing.. not gonna try :P

[Javituchi]

Hi!, I used to play guitar a few years ago, but lost the habit and now I play it fairly decent. That the only instrument I know.

[Tigerofthewind]

You should, you'll never know if your good at something or not if you never try. Violin, kinda bad choice to begin playing. To me it's still pretty hard and I had a pretty good knowledge of music and my dad was my teacher. But once you've learned to play something you like it's fun and you feel proud that you've finally are able to do it.

[Kongming]

Thinking about learning piano since I can type fluently I figure piano may be a good idea.

[Lesdude]

played the guitar for 2 - 3 years
and now I play drums... since... May 2003 (I guess) ~SHOCKU~

*I've been playing that long and still I suck :eek:*

[Mandible]

I learned the trombone in grade school and switched to the saxaphone in high school. I've tried the piano but I don't own one and I have too much else on the go now to hunt down a teacher.

[soutaku]

I want to play the piano like a master pianist, because when I was little my grandparents made me play the piano even though I didn't like it, and for hours. Then one day, I just lost interest, long time ago that was. LOL. I starting to want to play it again and re-enter the world of piano playing. yah!

[0100100001101001]

I learned how to play a chinese instrument called a Ruan in elementary school for a chinese orchestra, and i still play it now :D

[Maria Renard]

I tried to play the flute :p

but I never had too much skills, so I decided to leave it in a draw :D

Gao~!

[Renzon]

Saxophone for 6 years. Guitar for about 7 and I think it's time for professional lessons. I'd like to be able to solo on it hopefully in the next few years.

[Knifes]

eh?? Shouldn't this be part of the general music discussion (http://www.hongfire.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=39)?

Aw well, anywho used to play the trumpet back in the days and mysteriously a bit of basic piano too. I kinda lost interest after the about a good five years with my trumpet skills, but it can't be helped if I don't like anymore...

I was pretty good too... and it was a kinda a suprise for my friends to know that I quit...

EDIT: eh... whoops... I gave you the wrong link :o But now it's fixed :)

[Tigerofthewind]

There's a General music discussion? If I had known that I wouldn't have put it in here but oh well.

[doctor//GENETIC]

Wanted to learn guitar but dont have the guitar... >.<

[hitokiri battousai]

I play the guitar or as i'd like to call it, my axe. And before somebody says well EVERYBODY plays the guitar, NOW THEY DONT!!! Only quite a few people nowadays actually know how to "play" a guitar. :p But in all seriousness, is it just me or do other people think that most ppl cannot play guitar in these days???

[Mai Tokiha]

Back in school, we had to try playing flute... didn't like it at all :mad:
So no, I don't play any, and I don't have the slightest interest in learning any :p

[Tigerofthewind]

None? Haven't you ever heard a really great anime song that you just wanted to play though? Sometimes I regret dropping the piano because if I had stuck with it I would've been able to play those great songs. But getting the music score is pretty hard

[myojin]

flute 3 years
piano 10 years

[Mysterio006]

I play.... or rather have played the violin. I kinda dropped it when I moved to college :p I believe I played the violin for 8+ years. My fingers are long enough to be piano fingers, a few people commented on that...

[Kazuo]

I play the trumpet, guitar, and bass. I'm can play a little piano. I used to want to play drums... I like to play jazz stuff, rock, and anything else I find cool. Right now I'm trying to learn some of Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan on my guitar. I also wanna learn the trumpet part to Spanish Flee by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Band, don't ask why.

[kenshinchong]

I want to learn to play the piano... Not sure whether they will accept me or not at such an age

[dabooze]

I play guitar and the bass guitar and a bit of piano (dropped halfway).... and of course.. the recorder!

i wanna learn how to play the sax though..

[elscorcho]

I'm a member of the guitarmy as well, and I played violin for four years and I'm not really sure why I stopped that, it was fun and I wasn't too bad. Currently guitar is the only thing I seriously play though (not in a band or anything, but I play a lot). Oh yeah, I played clarinet for half a year in grade school but quit because it was too easy...and I owned a recorder once, does that count?

[nekobekko]

Lately I have been "playing" some Bach on guitar. I want to learn "Toccata & Fugue" on guitar if it is even possible. It is played super-fast.

I am looking for a good ocarina. I like the smooth sound. I need a new instrument that is soft sounding.


I play the guitar or as i'd like to call it, my axe. And before somebody says well EVERYBODY plays the guitar, NOW THEY DONT!!! Only quite a few people nowadays actually know how to "play" a guitar. :p But in all seriousness, is it just me or do other people think that most ppl cannot play guitar in these days???
It is a matter of opinion. Usually people say "you can't play guitar" because they don't like the style of the other person. I think it is in the ear of the beholder. If you can play some chords or notes, then I say, yes you can play guitar, Even If I think that their style is crude.

As far as nowadays go, less people spend time learning the intricacies of learning guitar. The guitar has so much potential, and many artists now do not explore them.

[FreedomX15]

I used to play the piano.........but stopped cuz the lessons were getting in the way of my studies.....and to my parents education, and intellegence is everything!.....

[kaworuchan]

I used to play the trumpet, when I was in elementary school..... I was actually somewhat good at it, too.

But then my instrument broke during a move, and it never got replaced.

Don't ask me to play anything for you now..... It's been at least 15 years since I last played a note.

But if there was any instrument I would love to learn how to play more than anything else, I'd have to say the guitar.

[KonoHentai]

Like so many others out there, I play guitar. My sister has a saying 'everyone and their uncle plays guitar'. It runs in my family though... My dad plays, my sister plays (started out on guitar, mostly plays bass now), and I play as well.

We all have different genres of music that we enjoy playing... my dad is mostly older mainstream rock kind of stuff, my sister is more into heavier rock and alternative, while I am into blues (stuff like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, BB King, etc).

My axes of choice are my Tele and Strat hooked into a Fender Twin amp for playing blues stuff. If I am ever in the mood for playing rock, I use a Gibson Les Paul coupled with a Peavey 5150 II head & 5150 slant cab.

I've played bass before, and could play it if I had to, but I don't enjoy it that much.

[eliel]

I played piano for three or four years. We subsequently had to get rid of our piano when moving to a smaller house, but I've really missed being able to play it. I utterly adore the instrument, and will gladly return to playing it when I've got a place of my own, and the money to afford a piano of my own.

As for wanting to learn something... I've always wanted to learn how to play the flute.

[Shybal Noom]

wasnt there already a thread like this? o forget it, too lazy to search... lol
i can play the drums and piano! woot woot, although, i want to learn to play the guitar, but thats for another time... i just hope i will never have to pick up another pair of drum sticks again... lol

[sydney]

Guitar & Harmonica.. I'd like to be able to play Violin.. That'd be a kickass skill..

[Veniogenesis]

I play the Violin and Cello. I've always wanted to play the Piano and Guitar, but I haven't
found time to practice those yet. I did play a little bit of piano for less than a year
though, and therefore, I suck at it. ^_^; I've been playing Violin for 11 years and the
Cello for 7. I love the violin for some odd reason. ^_~;

P.S. Oh yea, I forgot.... I can play the flute. ^_^ ... but not very well. >_>;

[ValkyrieSkuld]

I would like to play piano and Violin..

I do have a keyboard (yamaha EZ-30), but a keyboard is not a piano.
Too bad piano lessons are are expensive :S

[oldsnail]

i play the violin, or at least used to.. also had piano and clarinet lessons in the past

[DepthStrike]

I've played the saxophone for about eight years now. From primary school band to one of the best brass bands in our town. When I first got interested in music I wanted to play something like that drumming thing with the wooden blocks (I have no idea what it

[AzureDragoon]

I play the violin, but haven't played for 2 years, so I must be horrible at it by now. I want to learn cello and piano.

[Tigerofthewind]

Wow, I never knew how many people played the violin. What can you guys play?

I can play almost everything but mostly classical. I've also learned that song Asuka from NGE played in Death, that Gavotte En Rondeau and Canon.

[hitokiri battousai]

As far as nowadays go, less people spend time learning the intricacies of learning guitar. The guitar has so much potential, and many artists now do not explore them.



Lets take punk music as a big example of what i meant. Punk music primarily started as a rebellion against classic rock/metal because they were too tired of trying to live up to having to put out brain pulverizing solos and what not. At first i used to liek punk, the whole rebellion thing. But after a while of playing guitar and finding out what playing a guitar meant, i saw MOST punk guitarists as lazy which makes a HORRIBLE guitarist. Now there are a few good ones out there but only a few. Back to my point, after so many years of kids growing up listening to punk type music, they dont really strive to be a great guitarist; to really learn how to PLAY the guitar. Many of you will think that im full of crap but im not. :p Ive jammed with MANY guitarists of many different genres of music and i always feel the same. Now i know im not a great guitarist, but at least im trying to be and i dont play the same dang power chords over and over and over again. Even my guitar teacher which has been playing for about 40 yrs agrees with me. We are just tired of people learning a few chords and pretending they are the shit on guitar and being compared to them. :mad:

[Saki]

I want to learn how to use synthesizers and turntables, that is, if you count them as instruments.

[Ponzu]

I can only play the piano / keyboard. But I haven't played in a few weeks.
I need to go back and practice again.

[orka]

I used to play a lot of cello and piano until I graduated high school... I was pretty hardcore with cello. (former member of Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, among other things)

My skill must be in the sh*tter by now, though... All those years of effort and money going to waste. *sigh*

[TheException]

I think Cello is my biggest dream....and I remember Shinji in EVA playing it, and i loved it.

[maryanne]

My musical talent equals my drawing talent. Meaning I have neither. I love to be able to play any instrument and draw anything that looks even close to what I was trying to draw. So far all that remains a dream. However, I'm not giving up and I'm trying hard to draw so I practice a lot. As for a musical instrument, I'm gonna try my hands at either piano or violin. So I guess the only instrument I can play is my voice box. Dunno whether I'm any good at even that.. hehehe...

[Slayerjammer]

I know how to play Trumpet, Baritone, and some Clarinet and Flute. I'm planning to learn how to play Piano and Violin when I have more free time.

[Imaizumi]

I would liek to play the traditional chinese music instrumen call "Qing" or somehting like that.....im not sure wheather the name is correct or not...and i want to try playing a fluteee...~~

[Squirt]

piano since i was 6...so 16 yrs. my progress has slowed down a bit in college cuz its impossible to stick to a regular routine but i still learn new stuff. wanna learn guitar.

[asuk]

the only musical instrument i know how to play is the guitar. i never took any lessons and i dont know about all the music stuff like scales or how to read notes. i just read guitar tabs. i got an epiphone les paul (sunburst), a crappy crate amp and a wahwah. my greatest achievement was winning the battle of the bands in my uni. how sad...

[Garven]

Wow, lots of strings players out here. (Boo! Hehe) I play the Clarient (played from Contra Alto to the standard B-flat) and very little piano. I'm so biased towards the Treble clef that I have a hard time doing the whole multi-clef thing. That and I have no rhythm, but that's besides the point. =D

As for any instruments that I would like to know how to play, I would have to say any of the brass instruments. I mean, how cool is it to make farting noises and have music come out?

[orka]

Transposing is very important if you want to play orchestral music, though... Then again, you might not care to play orchestral music. XD

[Tigerofthewind]

Is transposing like changing notes from one octave to another? I mean like changing a song from C major in G Major and such.

[lldlukagentg13]

I've been playing the trumpet for about 10 years now (just realizes this and is suprised) and am currently in the Band, Jazz band, and Pep Band at my school. Its still fun for me althought the first few years felt like a real chore it payed off in the end I think. And its about time I got a new axe too. Had the same one for about 5 years now

[kbryc08]

I've been playing the acoustic guitar for a year on my own just playing tabs but now I'm taking an actual guitar course. I love playing the guitar so its a refreshing class to take after an entire day of calculus and physics.

[DepthStrike]

Is transposing like changing notes from one octave to another? I mean like changing a song from C major in G Major and such.

Transposing is done to make music available to instruments it originally wasn't written for. My instrument the alt sax is an e flat (Eb) instrument but most music is written for c instruments like a piano. So when I play notes that were meant for a c instrument it sound all wrong. To solve this the notes have to be heightened or lowered in accordance to which class (c/b flat/e flat/etc) you

[Tigerofthewind]

Oh okay, I understand now. It's just that my friend plays guitar and sometimes he has to play scales in different octaves I think. My father said that it was people who played in band because they can adjust to the pitch.

[Moco]

i play the :eek: guitar. Just an acoustic. It's very relaxing to play a song like vincents theme from final fantasy vii when you come back from school where every "anarchist" jam on their sick guitar :rolleyes:.

[superotaku]

piano guitar saxophone bass trumpet really I like alot of Jazz instruments so these are probably the ones Id play

[triumphman]

i would love to be able to play the violin. i mean its just so damnd classical.

[kaijiun]

I play flute .For real training is about 3 years(Grade 2 - 6 - 8).Then stop taking exams .I join some band too .Now seems that the band i joined play a lot in wedding ceremony.
I would hope to get violin after watching so much anime and listen to thier music .(Damn! most of them are for violin) .Well,it wouldn't be possible again .But i think i'll force my children learn it in future(Well,suppose i would come across these paths of life like normal person)^^

[Thyran]

I'll look into the guitar world when I have my own place and a job. Right after I know how to be a good street racer. :p

[Tigerofthewind]

Really? Would you know anywhere to get any good anime music for violin. Also the violin in my opinion is overrated. I play it but don't like it all that much anymore. Playing classical gets boring but that's about the only that sounds good when playing it. Also you have to get into the higher levels if you really want to impress people and that sometimes can take months to a year just to learn one song.

[kaijiun]

Well,I'm not sure where to get .But when i listen to the music .The roles usually is violin .One of the music composer i like is Yuki Kajiura for most of the song .She use violin solo in the song for gundam seed ,hack sign,noir and maybe more .
Well, its true that you much reach certain level to impress people .I have to say even you yourself would not impress when you listen to your sound if you play at low level .Recommend at least a grade 5 to have a good sound .^^
I think you can get some of the song in www.animescores.com .Some of it you had to transpose since it is piano .Usually i would just listen and play .I'm a lazy man to find scores .^^
Though the song is for violin solo ,as long as you want to ,you still can always play it in another instrument(just as what i did to feel the melody^^)

[Kazuo]

I forgot to mention I play the ukulele! I bought a decent one in Hawaii. It wasn't one of those cheap ones people sell everywhere for like 10 - 20 dollars. I bought the second cheapest one they had at the store I went to. It's made of mahogany wood, one step above plywood. I can't find a lot to play on it. I only found one good site for tabs and it didn't have a wide selection... It's fun though. I have a small book of hawaiian songs and I mess around with stuff. Last thing I tried to play on it was Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. I couldn't play all of it, but if I work on it I could probably get it to sound alright. The only thing I hate is that there isn't a much of a range on it.

[Tigerofthewind]

I don't know I don't really like animescores all that much because the person who writes those scores doesn't transpose them all that well. She's missing a few things like in some songs she forgets the slurs, the forte, piano, pizzicato and some other techniques that are included in the song when you listen to it. But thanks anyways.

[kylixjazz]

I play the clarinet. Although I dont practice enough.
Babidaboooobalibadoooo pw

[Azstraph]

Musical instruments, I would like to know how to play:
Piano, violin, drums and guitar.

[Tigerofthewind]

Anyone here know how to play tremolo here? Like flamenco. I was watching Once Upon A Time In Mexico and that reminded me of it.

[Chaotic Heavens]

I used to play the piano. Then some things happened in between. And I just can't play it as well. If you give me time to pratice a peace, I'll be able to play it quite smoothly, but nothing amazing. However, everyone says my fingers are perfect for the piano since their long and slender and move gracefully... :confused:

[Tigerofthewind]

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows a site that has the music scores to Yoko Kanno's "Voices" from the OVA Macross Plus? I know animescores has a version but I don't really like it because it's incomplete. I remember having a copy but lost it when I upgraded to XP. If anyone can help, I will be very grateful.

PS I'm looking for a voice or violin score. The one I had was voice and piano.

[Draco888]

been quite interested in Piano/keyboard and guitar ..... but too lazy to learn :D

[rockdisciple]

I played piano for a few years in elementary school and was good enough at it but I dropped it to learn guitar. I didn't get started on that right away, but I've been doing it for four years now and have started giving lessons myself. I sometimes figure out anime themes to play, the Trigun opening comes to mind as a fun one to do, but I've never looked for scores myself, sorry. Mostly I play progressive rock and jazz, with some blues and straight ahead rock thrown in, as well. Since a couple other of you guitarists have mentioned your gear, I'll say that I play a Music Man Petrucci Signature(shown in my avatar) and an Ibanez Artcore TM71(semi-hollow jazz guitar) through a Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 2X12 combo that I got a few months ago. I've always liked the drums, and would consider learning them as well as electric bass to be a more rounded modern player. If I were to learn the violin, I would definitely get an electric violin, because those sound amazing in a modern rock or fusion context; running through an amp with some gain they have a terrific and smooth lead sound.

[paragon]

I play on guitar:Acoustic and Electro.
And piano.
Also very much like a Violin,Flute and Voice Jam.

Ps:I want to give an advice. Study to play independently, differently muffle your talent. :)

[miscman]

I've started playing the violin 5 months ago (I love celtic songs) but I'm still having a lot of hard times :(.

[cattz]

Played the tromboune back in school for quite a while.

Still can, but absolutely no need for it in any way.

And can we please castrate everyone who "wants to play the guitar"

[Tigerofthewind]

Don't worry about it. It's hard when you start off but gets easier. And since your playing Celtic songs, there won't be much need for technique as classical.

[Exo001]

I play piano and violin. Since I am a music major (junior at the university), I'm actually pretty good (piano is my main instrument). However, because of my studies I have less time to practice than I'd like to have. I play exclusively classical music. Honestly, I consider some of the professors to be inferior in terms of technique.

[Savin877]

Trombone for 6 years, then currently still beats on drums from time to time. And heres one for ya......the BUGLE! Oh yeah, now thats a tough one to master. Actually it was quite fun learning how to play the bugle. If theres one instrument I would like to learn, it would actually have to be the piano. I never tried it and never got around to it. Maybe one of these days.

[rapadi]

i play guitar and i am realy good and girls like me only pecaus of that i am an fast classical guitar player

[amberdotexe]

I can play the piano. Or rather, I took it in high school and was pretty good at it, but I haven't really done much with it since then. And I majorly suck at reading music. XD

I want to learn guitar and harmonica. :3

[Renzon]

And can we please castrate everyone who "wants to play the guitar"

Why do you feel this way?

[Tortured-x]

i always wanted to play the piano because it's so graceful

[burnout]

Played the tromboune back in school for quite a while.

Still can, but absolutely no need for it in any way.

And can we please castrate everyone who "wants to play the guitar"


er... how do you castrate a girl who wants to play a guitar?

if somebody wants to play the guitar, i say go for it. i never get enough kick ass guitar solos. i still have my Mexican stratocaster from 4 years ago. i pick it up now and then but was never a serious guitar player.

[ghost333]

well i play bass guitar
and i would like to learn piano (and keyboards)

[ChronoReverse]

Hmm, I have classical Piano training, I can play the Clarinet and the Recorder, I also used to know a few chords for the Ukelele.


If I ever learn to play the Guitar, I want to learn picking. Picking solos are amazing.

I wouldn't mind learning a brass instrument too. Maybe a Piccolo Trumpet so I can annoy the neighbours with high pitched shrills (Plus I wouldn't run out breath as quickly although I'd think that it'd require powerful lip control) =)

[albazero]

i played the viola for 3 years;; but that was 3 years ago :rolleyes:

i can play some of the synth imstruments integrated in sonic foundry sound forge

[Tigerofthewind]

I like listening to guitar. I play the violin so it's refreshing to listen to a good guitar solo or some flamenco. But how can you define playing a guitar? Like just some chord enough to play Slayer or something or some actual technique required?

[hitokiri battousai]

I like listening to guitar. I play the violin so it's refreshing to listen to a good guitar solo or some flamenco. But how can you define playing a guitar? Like just some chord enough to play Slayer or something or some actual technique required?

Theres ALOT that goes inot actually playing the guitar. And no, just knowing some slayer doesnt mean u can PLAY the guitar, even though i do love me some slayer. :p First, you should be able to play with four fingers, (pointer to pinky) on the fret baord with ease. Second, you should know quite a bit of guitar theory like harmony and how many intervals are in each note. Also knowing chords and scales helps alot. Being able to read sheet music is also a must because 95% of guitar tabs out there have quite a few flaws in them. On a side note, being able to play fats and play a solo does nto make you a good guitarist. It takes more than that, it also depends on what you are playing, wheather it be rock, classical, blues, or jazzy riffs. Although, if you can play good solos and fast it most likely means you at least have the potential to be a greta guitarist if you already are not one. I play "lead" guitar in a classic metal band which requires me to play the solos, BUT i dno just play metal. I love learning classical pieces such as Beethoven's 5th and Fur Else on my axe as well. Also, Id say abotu 90% of guitarists out nowadays can NOT play guitar well enough to save their life.

[lucky644]

Trumpet for 7 years or so.

[shiracld]

I've played with my organ for 5yrs or so then stopped then classical piano.. i'd like to learn violin and drums in any case. oh yeah sax! but for now i just mix - hehe

[asiulun]

haha, if iven a choice i would like to master piano..

the wonderful chords in a piano and the piano trainings itself will train u to pick out the tunes.. therefore, i have a feeling that if u have degree in piano u can play almost any instruments..

besides, with the electronic piano nowadays, u can play over 100 of instrument just on that device *switch to violin sounds and start playing*.. imagine u'll be creating midi tones, w00t! games tones, ringtones, almost anything! record them down and u can start uploading "Dragonball remix", "Key games (piano)".. *dreams with sparkling eyes*

[Xebi]

Well I know how to play piano a little, although my hands aren't to handy to both play a different tune.
Plus I want to play the guitar - electric, that'd be awesome.

[cloudmcstrife1]

me and my sister play the flute, but she's a lot better than me... id like to play electric guitar like jimmy page (guitarist from Led Zeppelin) real cool...

[xxDVDxx]

Learning drums with sheet reading for almost a year now... and I am playing DrumMania in the arcades as my recreation... Anyone knows a good site with drum tabs of popular songs?

[maple]

I would like to play piano.Wladyslaw Szpilman in movie The Pianist so cool.

[Tigerofthewind]

Piano is the second hardest instrument after violin I believe. Who's Wladslaw Szpilman though? Was he the guy who did the hands for Brody?

[Allestre]

Still learning violin.. kinda hard but I like it ;)

[CowWong]

I play the piano and sometimes the guitar(suck though)...but I would really want to learn violin...
I hope I can do that someday, or maybe cello.

[ManButter2K5]

I used to be pretty good at the piano, now my sis handles that
I learned how to play Zanarkand Ruins from FFX on the piano
that's like my favorite video game song ever
now, I play the drums whenever I get a chance
I listen to a lot of Hives, Strokes, & Killers for some punk drum beats

[zerebubuth]

cello,oud,lute,bent tambour,nay and chromatic harmonica, how it soothes me

[zerebubuth]

to be able to play these instruments at advanced level and yet i did give it alot of time

[AzureLight]

I play the guitar and keyboard. Can catch songs easily and make ringtones out of the keyboard, and also can play some I've Sound songs with the guitar.

[Faylar]

I play the piano and I wish to play the...er...violin maybe? :)

[eMKa]

I know how to play on keyboard and sometimes using guitar:)

[fo0d]

I play the guitar: bass, electric, and acoustic. I've been playing those instruments for about 7 years. Haven't played it in awhile, so i really need to get myself to practice it more.

Other instruments i'd like to learn is the violin. The sound produced is just so relaxing.

[Tigerofthewind]

Can anyone direct me to a site with a range or anime scores? I forgot the site but I think it was pink and had a bunch of stuff like from games and stuff as well.

[crucif-X]

Here you go Tigerofthewind
http://ichigos.com/index.shtml

Regarding the topic, I started piano when I was in 4th grade and continued for a couple years and hated it. Was happy when my teacher quit to take a full time job as a band director. Then in high school, played the flute (don't ask) and then immediately switched to the Tuba :). Also it was around the time I joined band I started playing piano again and LOVED IT. What got me playing again was my friend introducing me to X-Japan and I wanted to learn how to play that intro to Silent Jealousy. So yeah......PIANO r0x0rz!!

[MrBunchy]

I use to play the drums. Not very good at it. it's alot harder than you think.
Would love to be able to play the bass.

[animedong]

I know the guitar, drums kinda, bass alittle and a little bit of electric

[necronzero]

I Play the drums I have a Pearl FX with the Titanium series from Zildjian and the best a Double Pedal the one that shines in the dark ohhh I love to play it. Specially in the night!
By the way I play Heavy/trash Speed, Folk Metal and a bit Doom

[crucif-X]

I play the piano and I wish to play the...er...violin maybe? :)

Yeah, if ever I got the chance to learn a string instrument I would also like play the violin. Next to the piano, I think the violin has the second most beautiful sound. Speaking of the violin, anyone familiar with the female string quartet called Bond (http://www.bondmusic.net/)? Not only are they hotsauce, but they can really play. ;) :p :D Music is pretty cool too, its like classical meets the electronic musics

[Janno]

at some point I actually played the piano/ el orgel for 3-4 years. then I played the trumpet for a little year untill my dad said that I coulden't go on the camp they were having one summer, cause he said I didn't pratice enoughf, I quit. so now I've been wanting to play the sax for some time, but I don't seem to have the extra time is takes to play. so one day when I'm done with it all, I'll write about it here.^_^

[dots]

used to play the flute and clarinet in sch
a little of piano

[bippy]

percussion. yay for drummers!

[xcalibro]

I just started to learn to play the gitar man my hands hurt ^^ but i wont give up!!

[EPD]

I play guitar, and i can say i'm average.I have a crappy J&D Les Paul imitation but i'm looking forward to buying a KH model from ESP.
I play a lot of Metallica

Would like to play bass, because it's the coolest instrument ever

[ShadowVlican]

i play the piano.. stopped playing during g.10 level cuz i fell in love with final fantasy music...

[Mad-B_Man]

After 2 years of collecting dust, I finally pulled out my guitars again, mostly thanks to BECK. I have to kind of relearn all the basics since I forgot them all, and I have to learn the Electric technics from 0, Since I've only played Clasical guitar.

I have really shitty guitars (But dispite that, I still like them) A Yamaha CG-40A that probably goes for less than 50 bucks now (But people say this one sounds buetiful compared to other 40a's, good enough for free), and a Aria STG-Series that I got as a birthday present. It was only 100 bucks I think, but fine enough for a noob like me. To bad I didn't bring the Amp with me, it was the cheapest of the washburns, but it had enough ring to annoy the nieghbours.

Between the years I've also been trying to play the Bass. Jacked a Essex hand made (no idea what this is) off a friends friend, and now the friend who gave it to me wants it back. Probably will give it back, but I aint shipping something that heavy back to Thailand.

[SolRyuKen]

I would like to play the electric guitar.

[iDriftR]

I learned to play both the acoustic guitar and piano when I was young. I dropped it for about a year or two..Now I'm picking them both up again and I'm doing pretty good with them. :)

[kingsoloist]

I play the violin

By the way, HOW do you guys put up your signature? I absolute want to do it but I don't know how.

[Tigerofthewind]

You go to User CP. It should say it there. Can anyone suggest any good songs for violin I can play? I'm get bored of playing nothing but classical all the time.

[eviltwo]

I played the clarinet for three years, but I dropped it when I went to a new school... My new school doesn't have a music program, only a school band, which I'm not going to be a part of...

[Zaido]

hmm what musical instrument eh?

well i used to play a guitar for about 4 years? but the strings broke, and i nvr find the time to go buy strings and re tune it o.o, i guess i should get it fixed soon...

[chocolatecake]

i juz started playing the violin. yea it was kind of a bad choice to start learning with [it's hard XP]. but i like the violin so i'm gonna stick with it. i just hope that i can still learn when i move to new zealand [studying :P]

[Ektomorf]

I can play guitar, bass and drums by ear.
Wish I could play piano and saxaphone.

[S&T Kawaii Love]

I played guitar for a while. No long though I just got bored. I like listening to music but playing it for myself is another thing. :p.

[Hicks]

some day i will learn to play bass, i love how it sounds

[jujufe]

violin ^_^
wish i could play better..
doesnt everyone?

[Tenshiken]

I think I'm the only one here that doesn't play the freaking violin.

Let's see...Piano, Guitar, Acustic Guitar, and...does Base Guitar count?
Yeah, Californian culture, gotta love it

[Lisa Hayes]

moved.

i don't play instruments that well, gomen. ( but i have tried a few )
though i can whistle ~

[EatmeImscared]

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

[Ph8te]

Sax, and keyboards, I'm a composer, and a producer. Yoko Kanno and Teruo Takemitsu(Quotation of Dreams) are my two favorite Japanese composers

[drac0nis]

heyas ,
I play a 7-stringed electric Guitar and a 4-stringed Bass Guitar , and the thing I do is : I cover Video Game songs with a friend .

[B]

I'd like to play violin (because I'd have more in common with Asuka... ~,~`) and the piano, because it's cool...

And I wish I could sing well, because if I could, I wouldn't need any instrument...

Singing acapella is so cool...

[Kanashima]

I have been playing the piano since I was 6 I believe, and my second instrument was the violin which was started when I was in 7th grade.(I forgot age!)

[B]

[Sharingan]

I play the drums. I just started learning guitar on my own, and I would also like to learn bass, piano, and singing as well.

[horondo223]

I used to spank a 4-string electric bass guitar a few years ago. Now I make fart music with my hands.
If you listen to weird al you know what I'm talking about.

[jokermausland]

I play the violin.

[ImmortalRaven]

I have 2 guitar's but I can't play anything at the moment.

[zoku88]

I play the trombone currently. I may learn how to play the piano soon. I would also like to learn how to play the Euphonium.

[Serene852]

I play the piano.

I used to play the clarinet and violin, but I guess those instruments they didn't interest me enough.

The guitar seems pretty enticing.

[Christian]

Well, i've got a gr 3 level in piano.
Played and still playing violin (4 years now =P)
learning guitar (1/2 year =X, i can play chords xD)
recorder xP (if it counts 3 years =S)

btw forgot to add i would like to learn flute, and cello =O

[ebismo]

HEHEHEHE Well it's kind of music discusion... and may i say it's amazing how many people actually answered...
BTW i play the cromatic harp. I'm not really good, but i love it. just like having a whole piano in your mouth... and no one is going to ask you to sing at the same time you play ;)

[Tigerofthewind]

Whoa, I didn't notice. My thread got moved to the music discussion now?

[Neoresolution]

I play piano, side-line percusion, concert percusion, trumpet, euphonium, baritone and am learning guitar. I am also a digital remixer and a DJ at a skating rink.

[Luckystrike]

GUITAR.......will be playing bass this summer if i have enough money to buy one....of all the instrument the guitar is the best since u can blast it really loud adn annoy your neighbours

[Blade Runner]

I play guitar but I suck at it :p I need to take lessons.

[Snuts]

I had piano lessons (when I was 5) then took up the trumpet 8 years ago, since then I learned the baritone/euphonium, trombone, guitar, and 4/5 string electric bass. I can play all those with some semblance of skill. I would like to get an upright bass but that is way too much money for a college student like me to even consider dreaming about.

[mrmifune]

I have tried these instruments,
- Recorder (wooden flute), you had to start with that one in school...
- Clarinet, but I really wanted to play Oboe at that time, and I think I still do.
- Violin, newbies playing violin - Gee!!!
- Flute, got quite good at it...
- Guitar (accu. & elec.), hmmm...
- Elec. bass, better...only 4 strings :), had a 5 string one too...
- Keyboard, all types since the Moog :), still have my Ensoniq VFX-SD...

Now I'm only singing.
But if I ever manage to visit Scottland - I will buy a bagpipe :)
Very cool sound!

[HyG07]

I learn piano, guitar & flute b4 but never really maintain the learning & interest.

Kinda regret now.... =/
I would love to play the piano again and to try out violin as well... hehe:D

[crucif-X]

I was reminded of something. I'll most likely never learn how to play this instrument, but the Indian Sitar I thought was pretty freakin cool. I took this music class where we studied various "Musics of the World". We watched a video about the music and instruments of India and I was amazed watching a performance by Ravi Shankar. That guy really whales and tears it up on the Sitar!! :D :D

For those who are curious, here is a picture of Ravi Shankar his Sitar:
http://img112.echo.cx/img112/6567/ravishankar0hq.jpg

[Tigerofthewind]

Does anyone know any good anime violin and piano duets?

[rihogin]

i learn how to play the erhu, and a little of the piano.

[Gothcake]

I play the tenor sax and will for a while it sounds good and i get lots of solos:)

[JtJin]

I used to take piano lessons. Right now I'm just learning by myself. I don't really know what grade I am in anymore :p but my latest teacher said I was around a Grade 4-ish.

[hideki69]

My current passion is elecric bass. Got my first taste of a live band performance at a club and now I don't want to let go. Haha

Earlier in life I took piano lessons for a few years. I didn't like it too much and gave it up. Every now and then i get the urge to play something on piano but I can hardly remember any of the songs I learned. Eh.... at least it will be useful whenever I get around to composing songs.

This doesn't really count, but I've learned to play the drum part for one of my band's songs. I sort of suck stupid bass pedal >:|

I think it would be cool to learn double bass or guitar. But double bass is too big and guitar looks sort of complicated... darn extra strings!

[Angelic Layer]

I am pretty much a guitarist these days although I do play keyboards and bass.

I think I am rather an accomplished guitarist after years to practice.

[Tribalcast]

I love to play the bass. I've been at it for quite a while. But I guess I still have much to learn.

[arcadehitman]

The oboe.....I thought it would be a different instrument than the rest of the students so I decided to go for it. Now I'm the only one in my band and I don't practice although my teacher thinks I'm a genius. I keep my interest in it by playing music from video games and animes (the opening to Azumanga Daioh on an oboe sounds hilarious :D )

[Maverick007]

Piano (about 10 years and still playing), Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar (both guitars around 5 years), Alto and Baratone Sax (2 years: quit), 4 and six string bass (one year).

I like playing jazz and classical but I can basically play anything since I know both chords and notes.

[besieger]

The brass family, pretty much. Though I'd like to get my hands on strings, I don't have the time for it. XP I used to play for my highschool's Symphony Orchestra.

[Floemp578]

the piano ^^ hooray

[theprophet05]

1st chair trumpet player..in hs.also mastered french horn/baritone and tuba...i was dang good at playing brass instruments

[chocolatecake]

i started learning violin 3 or 4 months ago....then i had to stop because i had to continue my studies overseas <:( .......sigh if only my parents had allowed me to learn music when i was young....anyway.. violin rocks! XD piano second hehehe

[KyKitBaK]

Used to learn a bit of violin...but that was ages ago.

I always had a liking for cello, drums, bass guitar, and the sax ^^

[greven1217]

Ever since I started watching Beck i've wanted to play the electric guitar even more than before.

[pyrodoxis]

I've played (acoustic) guitar since umm 1992 or something like that but nowadays i play mostly electric guitar (since 1996 or sommit). I can play a bit drums, piano, bass and jewharp too :D

[NvadrApple]

Have played the clarinet for many years, and I enjoy it a lot. I have always wished I could play the piano though. I love the piano! I don't think I could play brass, it would be too wierd to not have a reed...:p

[Denamic]

I play the guitar, both acustic and electric, and the electric bass. Though my acoustic guitar became decapitated in the move.. *sniffle*
I used to be the basist of an old band about two years ago. Now I mainly use music to pass time.

[jts1702a]

So many people play the piano and violin (I want to learn a bow/string instrument!)...T_T

Piano 6 years (stopped)
Clarinet 1 year (stopped)
Flute 3 years (dormant)
Chinese Bamboo (8-holed Xiao) flute 1 year (dormant)

Chinese 7-stringed zither (Guqin, gu qin) 2 years (ONGOING)


Not a lot of people play the last one, ne?

[hubbathegrate]

My mother ahd me start playing Violin at the age of 3 witht he lokal sosuki group (some kind of theroy about learning trough hearing, well gave me a great sense for tones)

I quit that when we moved at the age of five but since 10 i've been playing alto saxphone (o my god is it allready eight years?) i'm really quite good (my teacher says me and another of the students are the onely reasons he's still in town ^^)

I'd realy like to learn how to play basguitar since i've started sound techis course i've heard SO manny cool things you can do with it =D

[Killythesafeguard]

I was thinking that this forum had so many musical talented people, since most of you had learned those instrument in a very young age... I just started to learn guitar in the age of 17 I guess, and kinda sad that most of friends had no interest to discuss different types of music instruments and play with me.

[miyavi]

I've started playing the piano right now, but I think I'm too old now. I wish to learn the piano, then buy me a good synthesizer and start making music if that's ever possible in my lifetime.

[PurpleSkies]

I play a bit of piano. I'd probably be better at it & play it more often if I had one. Sadly, I had to give it up when I moved out of my father's house. Maybe one day I'll get the chance to get myself a piano again & get back to playing.

[cyblaster]

I play the violin, but very poorly since I haven't touched it in a year or so. And right now I'm also looking at free online piano lessons so that might turn out to be a second instrument.

[Zingo]

If I'd learn an instrument it would be piano.

Getting a new guitar, just waiting for the money :) Played a bit drums.

[darkandshadow]

I play the Alto Saxophone, and the B[flat] Clarinet, because those are my favourties.
I also can play and [I do] teach all reed instruments, trumpet and trombone to different music classes in my school.
NOTE: I AM NOT AN OFFICIAL TEACHER. I'M JUST A HELPER. I'M NOT THAT OLD!!!...ha ha ha
Besides, I get free coffee, donuts and pizza from her!

Currently Learning/Want To Learn
Guitar (Electric/Acoustic)
Piano (REALLY WANT)
Drums (Want, but no coordination...^^;;;)
Violin (Would be pretty cool)

**If anybody has any lessons, their own or a scan of a book, PM me. Especially for piano. It'll probably take me about 2 years to understand it all, or mostly, but I'll definately be working at it! I'm already doing scales and tabs via the guitar, so I don't need any of those, but if there's something really cool you came up with/found, and you're in a generous mood, you can send it via my PM. Thanks in advance!**

[maekhamin]

play lil' bit (i mean LIL' BIT) of piano
DJ? i have tried that... but... nop.... it's kinda hard
synth... retired...

[xcomp]

I kind of played a bit of everything during highschool. Keyboard, guitar, violin and recorder. I can't remember how to play the first 3 instuments anymore but I can still play the recorder very well :p

I'd like to play the violin and piano in depth someday, though. Maybe violin first since I have no space for a big piano in the house :rolleyes:

[eMKa]

Keyboard quite well,guitar only a begginer,and nothing else.

But I quite well play on nerves of my family and sometimes my friends;)

[krecceg]

hi.. im new ard here...
i play the piano... soso, the Bb clar..., guitar [ just started ]
i really want to learn drums and guitar[electronic] but it seems tough to learn drums without the space to own them :(

[BobaFett2ha]

I played trumpet in middle and high school. Don't know that I'll ever take it up again (I definitely liked it, but it's not something I ever did outside of school). Hmm, maybe I'll join a ska band^_^

[darksol83]

I played guitar in school days.For the last 6 years i'm doing vocals.

[momo]

Hi i was really fired up after watching Beck the animation. So now i'm saving money 2 buy myself a acoustic guitar :)

[goddom]

i play the guitar, piano and various music programs, i used to play the violen, trombone, digeridoo and sing in a few bands. i would love to play the double bass, or the sitar (a mate said he'd bring one back from pakistan for me, but then 911 happened and they would of cut open the base of it to check for bombs)

[tsl5b]

I've had about seven years of piano lessons, which unfortunatly doesn't equal to playing the piano. :p At least well.... But most of my music career was singing in the chorus.

[ekadeath]

I play electric bass, here is a picture of my baby. http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/humbucker/ebsubblk.gif

[jokermausland]

I play violin, piano, keyboard and I would like to play guitar.

[3v1lk3n]

I play the Electric guitar. It's hooked up to a 24 inch screen and I can play lots of songs from a bunch of Japanese bands. hehehe.
Yea, the only musical instrument I am REMOTELY good at is Gita dora (Guitar Freaks And Drum Mania)
I'd loved to be able to play any instrument I lay my hands on but alias my creativity is only in computers. Programing, Graphics, and Gaming. And even then the music is never my own. Remember to thank your lucky stars that your hands still work. A women came into my work a few days ago that had broken both her hands and she was a Pianist.(I think that how you spell it.)

[rgnk]

i play the classical guitar for self entertainment and my music library is all about finger picking. i used to play the flute but now ... = ="
if possible piano would be great.

[cogumetal]

I was guitar player of a j-rock (covers =P) band, named Miruki Yopparai (something like "Milk Drunkeds"), but the band "finished"...

Now, I want to form a new band, and wanna learn some eletronic things (Like samples).

[L4mE]

well i would like to play bass oe electric guitat also drums

[Redsuns]

You know those large jugs that are marked " XXX " and is blown in the mouth of the jug? (maybe considered a wind instrument :confused: )

I can play that thing :D

You usually see in a Redneck band playin' er violin and some are using used buckets and using the washer as a music instrument

YEEEEEHAWWWW!!!!! :D

[ribbons]

You know those large jugs that are marked " XXX " and is blown in the mouth of the jug? (maybe considered a wind instrument :confused: )
I can play that thing :D


nice redsuns. nice. i still cant make noise out of bottles... so sad.

i play trombone, and cello to the point where ive been payed to play (monatary and food). its so nice to be payed to do what i love... wish it could always be like that! i also play clarinet/bass clarinet, euphonium, tuba, and any kind of cymbal insturment.

i would love to play guitre but it freaks me out because of all the strings.

i play trombone in my school s jazz, symphonic and pep bands. i may be small, but i ll show you all the true meaning of playing loud, but never to the point of ugly.

because my school dosn t have a string program i play in local adult orchestras. not that you all care, but we are gonna play selections from rimsy-korsokov s the snow maiden. so exited!

[Trey]

I play the drums and would like to learn the violin and the piano

[ValkyrieSkuld]

I wished i had some skills in playing the Piano, Violin, Guitar and the Erhu :S

[fourier]

I play the drums and some persuccion instruments like conga's etc. also xylophone and marimba.
I would like to play violin or guitar.

[Arubikal]

That depends on what one means with playing. My main instrument is the guitar, but I can play the piano, ukelele, harmonica, drums, flute and bass even though it may be just the basics. I would really like to learn to play the saxophone, but as I never found a free spot in my economy to buy one it just havent happened.

[Headup]

Interesting subject !

So i'm an electric guitar player since 6 years, mainly playing metal, and influenced by guys like John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Steve Va

[Ahura]

i would like to play e-guitar

[Tigerofthewind]

Wow, I don't know how this thread keeps coming back time after time. I'd like to play the e-guitar as well but have no time.

[C.A.]

my bro learns piano, but the (digital)piano is in my room and i play with it, im not skilled at it though

[ggfc2]

I would definatly pick up a guitar... but I have no money nor the talent. :P

[April Angela]

i can play Violin and electronic/digital piano 3 to 8 keys (when combined on a computer).
i would like to play an e-guitar since i also like rock music.

[Rattrap]

After listening to a lot of heavy metal, I'd like to play bass guitar.

[slaolie]

bass guitar really rocks when played properly!

i myself have been playing electric guitar for over a year now. Mostly pop/rock/metal songs, but i'm also trying to play those crazy prog-metal solo's, which are way too fast though. Oh well, trying to learn chords and stuff is hard enough.

[zellkaiser]

id learn how to play the spoons! ya! best instrument EVER

[Huggies]

Hmm, Violin and the Piano, decent at both :p

[neferefer]

played piano and violin until grade 8 cuz my mom made me (im stereotypically asian), then i quit.
I now play e.guitar. Would like to play drums, if i get the money

[Ellis]

~I currently play the trombone for the highschool orchestra and i also play the bass guitar. Instruments i would like to play are the cello and tuba~

[thepeanut135]

Flute (yes flute), piano, and a little bit of the guitar... now I just play piano for the fun of it...

[MaliceMizer]

I play the piano/keyboard for our band. I played the bass for a little while, but I didn't like it as much. After a while I want to start learning to play the drums and guitar (electric, i can't stand acustic).

[Strider Hiryu]

im learning to play piano/keyboard

[Mugiwara]

I'm kinda far away on this point, heheh
I play Japanese flutes: Shinobue, Shakuhachi and Nohkan, Shamisen and Taiko

Not very known things, heheh, but, to help, they are the instruments used on Naruto's songtracks

[slaolie]

Shakuhachis... weren't those also used as weapons?

[hyde69]

violin, and it brings back memories.

[cirtongin]

guitar/bass, piano, flute, and a terrible drummer!

[Takumi01]

i would love to play the drums (how many of you at a live show look at the drummer and think dang he is amazing??? i know i do)
or the piano the sweet melody that comes out of that giant!!! you can make a really happy song with an uplifting rythim or one that when you hear it makes you want to cry you know :D

[Fuyutsuki]

Piano or sitar w00t

[MaliceMizer]

i would love to play the drums (how many of you at a live show look at the drummer and think dang he is amazing??? i know i do)
or the piano the sweet melody that comes out of that giant!!! you can make a really happy song with an uplifting rythim or one that when you hear it makes you want to cry you know :D

I don't know if have yet or not, but you should hear Kami from Malice Mizer, and Shinya from Dir en grey, and Gackt does some pretty good piano.

[FistMethod]

Clarinet.. and I QUIT!!

[wintypes]

Lemme see, Clarinet, and i didn't quit yet... piano... trying to learn to play the e-guitar... perhaps e-bass in the future :p

[painsama]

I wish I can play Gekkin (instrument used by Alpha in Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou). Btw I can't play any musical instrument at all :p

[konzept]

I can play the flute and thats it... haha

[TiAn]

i'm working on the spare time on the e-bass, i enjoy it a lot, especially duoing with a guitarist friend^^

[RiceRice84]

I've played saxophone for 3 years...

I have an acoustic guitar in my basement...I haven't really made much progress with it. I just can't seem to play chords well because my fingers keep touching other strings on the fretbar. I think I just need constant practice...

[Vinitachi]

I want to try:
a) A piano. Sound nice and it quite classy.
b) A violin. Sound godly in a good hand.
c) The Chinese violin thingy... just for kicks plus it sound quite good too.
d) Drums like everyone else. Too awesome.

[fluid]

I would like to learn playing on piano, drums and guitar :)
But the lack of time, money and my lazy butt in free time wont allow me this luxury... :p

[soulkeeper60]

I played drums,piano,flute,trumpet,and guitar and I suck on all of them.

[Kham]

I would like to learn how to play the piano :)

[Adust Wanderer]

I play the piano. Been learning for 12 years. Attempting the Grade 8 exam this September.

[Killythesafeguard]

Piano, as always. I can only play one song, noone teaching me so I just read the notes(roughly) and able to play... only on a keyboard, not a real classic piano...

[SnoutCat]

Hi, I'm a musician, my instrument is the Bass guitar :neko:

[ninana]

I played the viola in middle/high school. Little known instrument :O Most people just think I'm saying violin wrong =.= It's like...

violin X 1.2 - high string + low string = viola

lol Yah, slightly bigger with one lower string.. It's got th' strings of a cello (I adore cello ><) but it's not that low in pitch.... so a ceolin sort of. We always got the horrible harmonies, monotonous but difficult to figure out the rhythms... at least it made me better at reading notes?

I want to play either 'lectric or bass guitar... ^^ I think it'd be cool! So cool~

[Miracle Worker]

For four years, I've played the piano. Right now, I'm Grade 4.
I used to play the violin, and I would LOVE to play the ocarina (to travel faster, like in Zelda: OoT)...

[CHRISTMASxLIGHTS]

Im in my schools marching band, and i play flute.
Its perttty cool being one of the only guys to play flute in my
section; im surrounded by girls >:D

aside from that, i play bass guitar, and im learning some
bass drum to join drumline next year.

[ninana]

Bassists are coooooooool~~ *0*

[NoOneSpecial]

I used to play the saxaphne back when I was in public school. Man it was annoying. I didnt wanna plsy it, I just did it cause I was told to. Ugh,,, I hated it so much. I didnt practice bc I disliked it so much, and then I made an @ss out of myself in band class. I hated it so much, i dreded going to band class. I was told to stay w/ it bc if I dropped out I would need to goto general ed music class, and was told that was harder.... I dunno how much of that true... but man, I hated band class so much...

[lord elius]

Played: Violin
Playing: Guitar
Wanna play: Drums

[Xcentric]

I'd like to play the paino .

[Syndikit]

I play Bass(5-string) and Guitar(6-string) I would REALLY like to play piano! The greatest instrument ever concieved (IMO)

[ZuruZuru]

I played the piano when I was younger, then I stopped. Now, I REALLY regret it. I also believe piano as one of the best instruments because you can solo an entire song and it would still sound pretty damn good by itself.
However, due to my past piano playing experience I am exceeding good at music games where you time notes to button presses (o2jam, pop n music, beatmania).

Other than the piano, I would love to play the shamisen. Simply due to the fact that it sounds authentically asian.

[northpole776]

i agree ZuruZuru, anythign sounds good on a piano and i rekon it would be the easiest means of writing music... to play with two hands is almost like having two intruments in itself, where you can hear what the bass notes would sound like with the other notes... if one was a skilled enought player tho..

so in conclusion, i play bass (4-string) and guitar (6-string) and would love to play piano if i could even just get the hang of it... but i can't. a six-string bass would be pretty nice to play too...

[thaserty]

haha, six strings bass is too damm big for me. have you see the one that John Mayong used, Damm Huge!!

4 strings bass is the most classic!! Hurey!!

[salking]

I used to play the trumpet about 5 years ago.

I play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, piano, and clarinet for band class.
I'm currently trying to make an actual CD that I can be proud of.
Unfortunatly, Cakewalk isn't being too cooperative.

I would love to learn how to play violin or cello,
I hear that cellists sometimes use bass guitar strings for practice?
