Anyone here play an instrument?

[MasterBlaster76]

I'm a massive muso. Play the piano and French horn to Grade 8 standard, and am nearing that on the Pipe Organ (hoping to do Grade 8 at the end of the year). I also sing in a few choirs (although I cannot sing on my own at all!), and conduct/compose music sometimes too.

I'm the opposite: I love singing on my own, but not so much in a group; harmonies are the weakest part of my singing. Are you a professional/aspiring professional musician?

I also must've forgot to mention, but I can play the Congo pretty well, and the Keyboard to some extent. In the keyboard, I don't know chords or any of that stuff but I can take out solo tunes on hearing.

Onthe Keyboard, I can only play AR Rahman's Airtel jingle and a Garba rythm.

 

[PhilD123]

I play guitar, piano, trumpet and saxophone and have taught music as a classroom specialist for the past year.

Show off.

I've been trying to teach myself guitar recently (well, with the aid of instruction youtube videos). Safe to say it's not going well. Ah well, I'll keep trying.

I play guitar bass and keyboards and used to be Grade 7 on drums before I moved house.

That sounds cool Left Hander. I've never actually been in a band which is kinda disapponting, it's normally a phase where every teenager makes a band at least once.

It lasted for about a year and a bit and we were (there was 5 of us) all in a Music class at school, so practising wasn't a problem. We only played covers, we tried to write a song but it never happened because the bass player would always get his way (like one time, he wanted to play the guitar in a song, which he wrote, but that left us two guitarists playing bass, which I couldn't do because I'm left-handed). I eventaully left and there still going on, sort of. It's been a slow crawl for them. When I was mates with the bassist it was fun, after that it wasn't.

stick with the youtube videos, you'll get it eventually.

Me, I've played guitr badly for 2 years and have started learning drums about a month ago.

I have pretty much mastered Violet Hill and New Divide now, the two songs I have been learning recently. The bassline is tricky in Violet Hill but I've got it now and I've just been practising them both recently to get it to perfect.

I also learned how to play 45 seconds of the introduction to Chain-Link Chambers from Donkey Kong Country 2. Really love that song, in fact I love the whole DKC and DKC2 soundtracks - they are simply brilliant. For anybody who wants to hear classic video game music at its best - look no further than the DKC series. If you are a video game fan it's worth YouTubing it.. although try and get the original song, not the GameBoy version, as I think the GBA sound is poor compared to the original.
