Title: Can you play an instrument?
Post by: Dog Food on October 27, 2009, 04:44:49 PM
I'm fingering myself bored, so yeah.

I quit at everything I do. But I played trumpet for half a year. My teacher said I was really good and had potential if I only practiced, but I hate practicing, so I quit. I played guitar for a year, but I didn't practice and therefore did not get any better, so I quit after a year of that. I'm re-teaching myself guitar now, because I want to be able to play an instrument. Just simple stuff using tabs, since I forgot how to read notes. Plus my guitar is intercourse ing sexy and I want it to be more than just a decoration in my room.

Oh, and if your in band or chorus, go ahead and brag about it here.

I play clarinet. I'm in the Junior band, and I'm probably the best player. I don't practice scales though, which is what chair tests are always on. So I usually end up 3 or 4, which is cool with me.
No, it doesn't really sound like Squiward plays it.

I wouldn't mind learning how to play the organ. But since guitars are portable and getting an organ would be expensive, I'll just stick with this. Besides it was a special present, so I might as well get the other person's money worth out of it.

This.
I don't mind not being able to play an instrument, I just like listening to the sounds of them. This isn't an instrument, but I am learning how to dance (duo dancing fast & slow), so beat that.

I have been playing piano forever (Or since I was 9 or something), I am pretty good at the guitar, and, more recently, bass and drums.

And I have been singing and dancing since about 7, but those aren't really instruments D:

Vocal Jazz sucks until you do a cover of the song below.

It's called vocal JAZZ for a reason. We do jazz music.

That song =/= jazz. :|

I used to play the flute. I REALLY want to learn how to do a Harmonica though, because that is my favorite instrument. Hard to come by a teacher though...

I used to be okay at playing this old organ in the basement.
But besides that, no other instruments. Just messing with music programs and Mario Paint Composer.

I own an electric guitar, but I couldn't play it to save a life. 

I would really like to learn to play the piano.

I can play bass guitar moderately well in my punk rock with horns band. I own an Ashbory and a Steinberger and both are equally ridiculous looking.

I also suck at guitar, and dabble in the kazoo.

I can play the Clarinet (not god anymore, it's been years since I played that thing).

I also play the key board, but only by ear. I can't read the notes or anything.

I can play the introduction to Jingle Bells on the guitar now. I feel empowered.

And I think I used to be able to play Hot Cross Buns on the clarinet (or an instrument like it) when we were forced to take it in music class in elementary school.

Clarinet. But I quit band after freshman year. It wasn't fun anymore and it seemed like a chore. But I still love our band and support them.

They make you play instruments in general music?  I feel sorry for you.  All we did was learn about dead composers and at one point The Beatles in 8th grade.

Not only do we have to play the instrument, but we have to perform in a church. Who the hell wants to listen to loud whistling first thing in the morning? The ninny is crazy, I swear.

Clarinets are mean.
