Wow, you're pretty talented, playing all those instruments. However, doesn't that prevent concentrating on one and getting really good at it?

Whatever. I play just the guitar, and I do it more than 5 hours daily \m/

Violin is my main focus, the others are bonus instruments I know how to play!

I've learned keyboard leval 1 at Yamaha music school. I've learned the minimum of guitar, 1 song. My focus instrument is vocals, although I'm not made for singing. I am using it in my music lessons however.

I play a little piano, and that's pretty much it. My brother's the musician in the family.

Keyboard, which can do pretty much anything.

Post by **Dissension** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 10:05 pm

I'm a few years out of practice, but my specialty is the euphonium. = P I can also play trombone, piano (super-beginner-level), and snare drum.

Vadiant · Post by **Vadiant** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 1:58 am

Saxophone lessons, since I was in elementary school, though I stopped a few years back. Music's more for my sister-- She sings. And plays piano. And flute. And clarinet. And also my old saxophone. Ah, to be gifted.

I'm teaching myself to play the keyboard. But I mainly do vocals. I was really into choir during High School, and I have a very flexible range. My voice is best suited to classical pieces such as Irish Shanties, Gregorian Chant, Folk Songs, and Opera.

That is true, but there is no magic when you're imitating another instrument on the keyboard.

Yep, the keyboard is actually quite useful.

(For instance. I turned an old keyboard into the table on which I use my computer.)

Icharus · Post by **Icharus** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:35 pm

Guitar, bass, and cello. And drums, sort of.

And I sing... sometimes... a little.

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:36 pm

I sing sometimes too :3 A little, when I listen to music... for myself ;p (Sounds like cr** :3)

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:29 pm

Woo, let's make a Houspets! forum band!

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the logistics of that at all. The world isn't that big, is it?

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:30 pm

Seen quite many world-wide collaborations between, well youtube singers etc ;> But shouldn't be any problem =3

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:44 pm

Really? That's actually pretty cool.

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:48 pm

Here's one (I took the first one I saw :3, but isn't that bad Oo Even though I don't listen to that kinda music much)

Agent Sandwich · Post by **Agent Sandwich** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:09 am

We could all agree to a song and record and combine all parts into a single MP3 file!

Adzo · Post by **Adzo** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:17 am

I played the drums until a couple of years ago, and am trying to get back into it. exams sucked but I don't have them any more, giving me time to annoy my whole household with loud drumming.
I also played keyboard in school and can kinda pick out a tune if I have the music in front of me, and I can sort of play the bongos.

I've tried that before but the hard part is having everyone be able to record. Percussion is especially difficult to record.

I have the ability to record keyboards, guitar and bass but not drums.

Agent Sandwich · Post by **Agent Sandwich** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:43 am

Then I guess we will stick with a drum machine. I have FL Studio 9 on my computer.

Alex, what was the name of the song you posted? Youtube is blocked in my region so I can't access it!

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:44 am

Thunderstruck with AC/DC, and he wants someone to sing that, YA RIGHT!

Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Although I'll understand if no-one wants that, not everyone is a metalhead, also, it's not easy to sing like Brian Johnson (Their singer for that album).

Sounds like fun! I play essentially every instrument in rock, so if you guys are missing something, I'm right here!
