Housepets!

Hey this is where you can talk about the musical side of you, as in instruments you play or want to learn to play.
I play the piano, and really want to learn to play drums!!

I play guitar, cello, and electric bass. I pretend to play piano and drums.
...I wish I had the money for an electric cello.

Violin, since...4th grade. That's a total of about 8 years. Now, if I actually practiced, I'd be a master. However, I don't. XD I'm pretty darn good though. Latest thing I'm working on is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

I played guitar for a couple of months, and then fell off of it.

I'm trying to learn drums, but I'm falling off of that too. >_<

Can't play piano, but I can memorize tunes on it. Like Jumper or The Chochobo song.

Future plans: Get myself a pickup for my violin, so that electric guitar amp gets some more use... (on that note, Icharus, you can buy an electric pickup for a stringed instrument. Might not be as top quality as a real electric stringed instrument, but it's far cheaper.)

I don't have a musical side. D: I wanted to learn the piano but my parents couldn't afford one.

Does dancing count? *bricked*

i started learning drums and about after three weeks stopped. but for the last 2 and something years i have been playing bass guitar. i would LOVE to learn to play the cello. cos chicks think its sexy. Urban dictionary says so!

I play the drums a little bit, but nothing serious. I do play bass and sing in my school's rock band. It's a lot of fun.

I play Guitar, and LiveStream it sometimes to those who want to hear. I play a little drums, and currently learning bass.

I play drums and that's all :\ Rusty from not being around drums for periods up to 6 months at a time due to studies.

This I know, thank you. It's just not the same imo.
I myself tried to learn The Devil Went Down to Georgia, a couple weeks ago in fact. Progress is slow.

i hate you all. you people have a lot of musical talent.
...
im over it.

i have been playing guitar for about a year now and i think for a relative novice im not too bad.

i also sing pretty well and i can span octaves with relative ease (lets say from like Roy Orbison to Thom Yorke's highest pitched voice).

I used to play Trumpet from 6th to just a week ago, but quit because it no longer interested me.

I want to learn how to play the piano and the violin maybe, but piano is definitely my main interest.

Oh and I also play a mean Kazoo. Yeah. Fear my kazoo skills.

I'm going to learn the citar some time.

When I'm not jamming out on my pencils, brushes or tablet...I play piano. I've been playing for about two years now so I'm not that bad. I had to teach myself via the internet due to low budgets.

I so want to hear you playing this.

Also, I'm currently learning to play the guitar. Still a beginner, but I'm advancing fast at it.

I CHALLENGE EVERYONE HERE WHO PLAYS GUITAR TO CUTTING-HEADS! D8<

(Cutting-heads = Guitar duel.)

you are SO on!

Well, I've been learning how to play Piano for the last... month and a half I think... The reason being that I wanted to play the Saxophone, but had interest in playing either Piano or Saxophone. we already had a electric Piano (Right next to the computer in fact) so my I agreed to play the Piano for a while and if I stuck with it I could eventually learn Saxophone.

so yeah, fear my ability to play "The grandfather clock"

KAZOO!!!!!!!!
*ahem*
that is all.

i do not count

...but if brawly wants to challenge me on bass...

Coincidently, i helped a good friend of mine picking up his drum set from his old location yesterday (80 minuet drive, arg).
now we have 2 drum sets, 2 electric Guitars, a Mic and 1 bas Guitar.
(I will try to upload a picture)
I am just playing the bas every once in a while, because i suck.
But my friends are giving some great tips and this week I'm planning to practice drumming (seeing as we got 2 drums now, it works great)

I gave my friends a classic Guitar for Christmas, because the old one broke, -_-'
O, and we have a keyboard for ages 4 and up, and you would be amazed how entertaining it is to hear Beethoven played on it.

(basically, i suck, everyone around me is good with instruments)

I sing.

Badly

You people and your instruments and non-dorky hobbies.

I don't play instruments, because I'm not cool. I just compose NES music using a tracker program. I mean, that's not cool or an accomplishment at all. Not like playing a mean kazoo or mean drums or an actual instrument is cool and an accomplishment. I have won an award at Abilene Christian University's annual FilmFest for composing the score of this short film about a guy who stays up too late playing Mario and has a weird dream, though. Does that count as an accomplishment?

No.

Although I should tell you that I have been accused of having a sardonic nature, so you might want to hear what other folks have to say before taking any rash action.

Bass guitar and piano. That is all.

Are any of you working on some songs?

right now I'm playing a 15 page duet that we have to memorize with my best friend.
I'm also playing some songs by ear....

I'm working on the solo for "Can't Stop Loving You" by Van Halen.

.. it's cash.

I need to start playing the trumpet again...Man I remember some good times, but I should really get a piano, I heard some people do amazing things.

Went looking for my oboe while I'm recuperating. No such luck. Haven't seen it in over a decade anyhow.

If you haven't seen it in over a decade t hen its safe to say its gone forever. XD You can't find ANYTHING that has been gone for over a decade. LOL

Unless you move. Then it's like an archeological tour when you unpack and discover all the detritus that slipped into your crates.
