Title: So who plays a real instrument, too?
Post by: major tom on December 29, 2007, 12:29:53 PM
Just curious. Who plays a real instrument?

I'm a bassist, but I haven't been playing it very long. I'm gettin' better though.

LOL.

Coincidentally, I started bass 4 days ago, and I began piano lessons 4 years ago. (I quit piano lessons after a year)

Get lessons or practice really hard.

Look at Eric Clapton. When he started guitar, he almost quit because it was really hard. But ever since the late 60's, he's been a guitar God.

Guitar player ;D

Just got a Gibson Maestro electric guitar, and it's awesome. I suck at playing it(I'm more used to my classical) but I suppose practice would be a good thing :P

I've been playing the trumpet for, oh... 4 or 5 years now. I really enjoy it, heck, I don't know where I'd be right now if I never joined band.

Besides the plastic guitar, I can also play bass and three types of saxophone.

I'm much better at saxophone, I've been playing since grade 5 and am currently in our school's Jazz Band.

I'm a beginner at the guitar, even though I've actually owned my current guitar for over a year now. I just didn't play it much at first, and I seem to be an extremely slow learner at it.

I've played drums for a little over 3 years now, but I'm gonna start playing guitar also once I get 300 bucks saved.
But the thing that sux is I'm the only good drummer in my grade that I know of, so if I wanna sing or play guitar in a band I can't?

If you're really good, stay with the drums. Dave Grohl is a legendary drummer... but he wanted to sing and play guitar. I miss the old Grohl. :( Oh, and Phil Collins was a drummer who wanted to sing, and he turned into a vagina cleaning devicebag.

If you want to be in a band... eh. Maybe you sing lead vocals sometimes? Like in Grand Funk Railroad the guitarist was the main singer but the drummer did lead vocals on 'We're An American Band', one of their biggest hits.

Oh and if you're a really good drummer it's very likely you won't be too good at guitar. My friend's a good drummer but he can barely play a note on guitar or bass.
