Topic: Do you play an instrument?

I'm hoping to buy a Fender Squire Strat soon.

I would love to learn guitar and piano...
It's been years, but kinda like riding a bike:  the main instrument I played was clarinet.  I also played viola and tuba.  I barely started to learn a bit of bari-sax and got a few notes from a trombone too.  It's been a long time.

I play Bass Guitar and drums

Strats are cool, I'm saving up for a Les Paul. They sound AMAZING, alot better then strats.

Would you get the Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul?  But honestly unless you really invest most Fenders aren't that good.  I just need an electric.  PLaying stuff like Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Ironman, Smoke on the Water, just don't quite compare to the overdrive of the electric.

Why get a Gibson when you can get an Orville Les Paul.
Orvilles were made by Gibson, but the stopped making Orvilles because they got to be better than Gibsons.

Tradition Guitars are AMAZING!! better then any Epiphone you can find.

I'm going to get a Metallic Pearl White. They looks Amazing aswell, VERY nice finish. I would reccomend those, and the standard one is pretty cheap. There is a dealer locater, so you cna find the closest(sp) one 2 you.

hey did anyone see South Park last night? they were playing guitar hero 3 on it.

I got my Squier Strat today.  It is sweet.  Things like Back in Black sound really cool now.  Secondly, my mother volunteered me to play Taps over the PA at school for our Remembrance (aka Veterans) Day.  So nervous.  In fact for the High G, I was shaking so bad it sounded like Vibrato.tongue

Cool

Haha just saw that.  BOO YAH FOR KANSAS!  Carry on my wayward son is an awesome song.  Although I like a remake made by The Showdown better than the original.

Carry on Wayward Son isn't on Guitar Hero 3 it's on Guitar Hero 2.

oh. didn't read his post fully.  That would make sense as Eddie Knox is the character.

Ah I assumed it was Guitar Hero III considering it was released not too long ago..

I don't like that game.
Now lets get back on topic.

it is on topic. and why don't u like gh?

If you want to be a guitar hero pick up a real six string guitar and learn how to play it.
And this topic is about playing a REAL instrument. Not a plastic guitar controller.

Been playing guitar for about 15 years....studied jazz in college

Not only do I LOVE Han, I'm a certified Music teacher in Florida!
I need an avatar!!!

Hey on these boards we try to avoid double posting, you can use the "Edit" tab if you want to say more. (wow I got it before Draco lol)

I play the Harp. it's cool because not a lot of other people play it. right now I'm practicing a ton of Christmas music because I have some gigs coming up. if you want to hear me I have a score on my myspace: http://www.myspace.com/harpisme

My band is practicing for our Christmas parade and consert

my xmas concert is a week from this upcoming Wednesday. in the meantime, at the 9-10 grade concert, a couple of ppls in our band (the 11-12 grade band) will do a brass ensemble, in which we sightread and play xmas music until the show starts. i did it last year too.

Oh sightreading never goes well in our band.  Except for Phantom of the Opera.  But for our Christmas concert we have this song and it's a specifaclly band arranged arrangement of Christmas carols.  And I get 2nd Trumpet.  But I want 1st.  ANd we are playing CHarlie Brown Christmas and I get 1st.  Which means a solo.  It is fun.

hey im playing a whole christmas song of christmas songs too. is the piece ur playing called "A Christmas Festival" by any chance? and phantom of the opera is extremely easy to read.

I'm playing with a harp ensemble I've done this for about three years now we normally play for the foundation for the blind which is a school for blind kids. It's a lot of fun.

No mine is called a Treasury of Carols.  It is extremely easy.

My barade is today. In about 20 min.

I play the flute and the cello.

I play a small spanish/african drum i got one year i had a holiday in Spain, to see my granny and grandad.

Air Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahh my concert was... good. we played the Hallelujah Chorus (i gotsen te 1st part, so i had to play super high stuff). still waiting to hear a recording of it though.

Cool
