What kind of instrument do you play?

[Pariah]

And how long have you been playing?

I'll start. :]

I've been playing guitar for 6 or more years.

The guitar in the first pic is my baby. Schecter S-1 Elite with a shaved neck, and Emg H-Z humbuckers.

no pics, but I can play one song on the bass, I dabble a little with rhythm, no lead on the guitar though since I play by ear.

I also play the piano and the flute.

[3Dradio]

Bass guitar-1 year.

Piano- I have no friggin' clue, but forever.

Trumpet- 18 years.

Baritone- I dabble.

[dull_bullet]

Guitar -- I don't even know. I dabble when I can.

Saxophone -- 8 Years. Love that jazz!

By the way I love Schecters. I'm shooting for a C-1 FR when I get the money.

[Pariah]

A word of advice, don't get a floyd if you've never had one before. They can be more trouble than they're worth.
That's pretty awesome that you play the sax though.

Bass guitar-1 year.

Piano- I have no friggin' clue, but forever.

Trumpet- 18 years.

Baritone- I dabble.

18 years of trumpet? You must sound like God on that damn thing.

[Unspun]

psst! you have an edit button, no double posting the mods will shoot your cock off!

[Phrosty]

Drums, bass, and a little piano.

I'm best at drums, but like to play bass more.

I have played just about every instrument in the hich school band, but my passion lies with the flute. I've played it since about 6th grade, so that would be um... almost 10 years now. Holy cow.

[YoungYesrod]

Trombone - Played for 9 years, but I quit.

Guitar - 5 years?

[keebs]

i use to play the trumpet, and the Euphonium. but then i graduated from high school and that was all over. i do miss playing music.

[lies on myspace]

My friend gave me his guitar, so I've been doing that for a couple days now. Go me. But I can't actually play yet. Just learning the basics.

I've been playing drums for a bit over a year now, just self taught.

[Piro]

I've been playing the piano for about 14 years now. Started playing the guitar for a little while but got fed up with my fingers refusing to grow calluses. Dunno if it was to do with the piano counteracting the process.

A friend of mine is getting rid of his old bass guitar soon, so I might just go ahead and buy it off him. Wires are a bit thicker, so no more nasty dents in my finger tips.... wish me luck.:thumbsdn:

Love to have a go at the drums, but it's the noise- my neighbours are anal bastards. They'd never allow it. :sad: Is it possible to get electric drums with headphones??

It's very possible, they are pretty fun to play as well, but the cheap ones (like $1000) don't have very good stick response (as in the sticks don't bounce off the surfaces like they would a drum skin) and the sound is polyphonic, but the advantage is you can tune them up and down (as well as select from a pretty big palette of drum sounds) with the press of a button, unlike a drum kit, once it's tuned you can only ever tune it higher or you'll damage the skins.

Drumming also requires your skin to callus, on your index fingers and thumbs. I've had my skin worn completely off a few times using some Zildjian gripped sticks and if you dont play for a while and then have a big session, expect some tasty looking blisters to form. On the up side - you can always buy drumming gloves.

[Dragonrock]

I play Euphonium, Trombone, and Bass Guitar. I love them all and love music!

My sister used to play trombone in like, grade 8.

[MentorX]

I once had a 10 year old teach me some piano when I was a teen.
In the 5th grade, I played the violin (that's a fiddle for the rednecks).
Somewhere in the former Yugoslavia is a video of me playing a two string guitar.
3 x fail. I'm not very musically gifted.

edit: Since others are posting vids, here's what a two string guitar sounds like.
nUo1I3KhqY8 My mother could play well. The next time I go, I'll bring one back and learn how to play it like this guy.

[Ball Masher]

[watson05]

clarinet and bass clarinet since sixth grade, guitar and bass since around seventh and piano for about six years but, ( seriously not to brag) anything with strings on it I can pick up pretty quickly I have played mandolin , banjo and my sisters violin. By the way me and the banjo looked awfully silly together.:D

[3Dradio]

Since some posted photos, I thought I'd drop in a few that I have on-hand. One of few nice things I own (literally). Samick 5 String.http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b282/johnnykileau/SD530726.jpg


This one is of me playing my Fender Standard P. None of my pics turned out from this night, but it could have something to do with any number of the screwed up things I drank. Nevermind the map. It's covering the hole my friend put in the wall from a stray beer bottle.

I've been playing the flute since fifth grade and on rare occassions I try to pick up some more piano skills.

You don't have to apologize, it'll be ok. lol

I've always wanted to learn the saxophone but I could never get my mouth right for a woodwind instrument.

[Jude09]

Lol. Geetar.
I have a Fender acoustic. It's pretty nice, has a built in mini-amp.

Phrosty bought me a Fender Stratacaster Hello Kitty guitar for my 22nd birthday. Yay. Here he is holding it so I can take a picture.

[necro]

Too bad none of you string/percussion players don't live local. I'm in desperate need for a drummer, and possibly a bassist.

P.S. Sexy guitar, Jude. Does it play decent?
