Whether you are proficient or not, what instrument/s do you play?

I played Tenor Sax from 5th to 8th grade.

Picked up the Guitar in '94 and put it back down. I can play all of "Wish You Were Here" including the acoustic solo but that's almost like "Stairway" in the music stores.

Now I play Bass as well as my Dreadnaught Acoustic from time to time.

I can also play decent drums and bongos but then again, who can't. 🙂 Sorry BeatDragon.

Although I took years of piano lessons as a young kid, I was always enamored with the guitar--especially lead guitar. Have played around with the guitar for about 30 years now, and still enjoy it, though don't get to it as often. One thing about playing an instrument--you gain a true appreciation for just how good the real experts are.

I play bass well, passible piano and occasionally torture the sax.

I played Alto Sax in grade 7 & 8. I want My daughter to play Violin, I may start with her and than move on to chello, my favorite sounding instrument. Had a string quartet at my wedding, was just too cool. I don't think I could ever get into the rock music although I love to listen. Jazz and mostly clasical has really helped with the road rage.

I had a killer East Bay funk cover band called "Joint Chiefs". Yes, I would say their name is aprapos. My favorite song from them is Stevie Wonder's "I Wish".

Any Bay Area folks seen these guys?

"Its "MASTER BAITOR""

So you like fishing? What kind of bait?

Oops, sorry. Stay on topic. I must be some kind of 4-string wad of band fodder.

I used to play bass in a band (lots of bass players here). But also play guitar pretty well, a little keys, fiddle and mandolin (which is just a fiddle with frets), I also sing probably better than I play an instrument, and write music and I’m a pretty good producer.

I troll with used up bass players...

Oh yeah, I play a "decent" guitar.

I can play a A minor muted diminished half note in the pike postion of a hindu scale agmented 4th.

Robby,

I produce as well. Do you have any mp3 sample clips of your work or a website I can download from?

I think my sbcglobal can take up to 10 or 20 megs but if you have anything around say 1MB, I'd love to hear it.

I play the guitar, but after you hear me play, you might not think so. And I'm pretty dandy with a harmonica, my dad taught me.

I started off with piano, but loss interest in that after a few years. I switched to the tenor sax in elementary school I then progressed to the trumphet the next year, and then baritone later on that year. I settled on the tuba after the high school band director came to junior high and persuaded me to switch. I was really good too, but ended up quitting when the band director made me decide between playing basketball and band. He wanted me for the pep band to play at the basketball games and to travel at competitions. Like marching band wasn't enough travel for us. Hell we were gone every weekend during the fall at one competition or another.

Now, I am kicking myself for dropping all instruments. I could have gone to college on a full scholarship, but let my emotions get the best of me at that time.
