Title: Who plays musical instruments then?
Post by: Ian_D on 13 April 2010, 00:11:45
I'm learning how to play the keyboard/piano, and making a proper go for it this time! (well, seem to be anyway! ;))

Bought myself (before Christmas) an old Classic - the Korg X5D (Which I mainly use in Piano mode). And up to now I think its been on almost every other day  :)

Would love to play the piano properly! :y
Practice, Practice, Practice I guess... Any then maybe upgrade to a keyboard with weighted keys soon! (if money allows!)

So who else plays an instrument on OOF?
Do you play anything? :-?

I've played bass in various groups for 24 years.
Mainly rock, but there was about 3 years on the cabaret circuit (££::)££) and a year with an Irish folk group.
(By the way, the rock 'n' roll rumour is not what they say. The folk group was the worst by a long chalk).
 
Had two years playing guitar in a duo (yes ok, the old ££::)££ again), and the odd stint thumping tubs when the drummer took over lead vocals on a few songs with one of the bands.

Have played lead/rythmn guitar in bands for the last 35 years (still play, but solo act now)
Also play clarinet, keyboards, flute, and piccolo too.

Totally addicted to music, always have been.

Gave up on piano lessons. Been trying to play guitar badly for years & never got that right either. I do own a lovely Yamaha 6 string acoustic but only know a few chords, a few riffs & other odds & sods, one step up from someone who'se never picked a guitar up but i can't play properly. :(

been playing guitar off and on for years but have started again recently and am enjoying teaching others to play -its amazing how the age of a classic song seems irrelevant as the guys I am helping are about 20plus years younger than me and still namecheck stuff from the 60s onwards that theyd like to learn :y

Probably a bit of a wait!
only two of us have the enthusiasm (and Matt ain't one of them) and we don't seem to be able to get together to practice very often - a fact that is winding me up enough to want to quit and start a Rammstein tribute band!

Anyone on here with a bass singing voice and speak German? ;D
