My name is Gabby, but Nation is a nickname that you can call me if you wish.
I'm nearly 15, and I've been playing music since about the 1st grade.
Winter of 07' I picked up a guitar and taught myself how to play.
Since then I've learned a couple more instruments, and this is my list of things I play:
Piano
Guitar
Bass
Drums
Dulcimer
and I have a violin, but I just got it and I'm learning.

I'm pretty friendly, but I can't stand people who type like they don't have brains.. Spare me.

Thats about it I guess.. My youtube is in my siggy.

nice to meet you, what music do you like?

Nation · 03-31-2009, 06:23 PM

Anything that catches my ear pretty much.
Lately it's been punk, or acoustic rock or acoustic ballads.
I just stumbled across SugarCult who I think are great, but I listen to everything from Country to Jazz to Classical to Rock to Reggae and etc.

Interesting intro. I've yet to see anyone list instruments they play. Multi-talented, I see.

That's awesome! So, what music has influenced you to pick up these instruments?

I started with piano because my older sister took it (and went on to be a piano major), but after having a few completely awful teachers I stopped and hated most music for about a year.
Then something horrible happened, and my step dad had just given me a guitar, and I didn't want to think much, so I just picked it up, (and since I already had some theory) went online and taught myself.
Then my step dad got a dulcimer and I learned it.
Then I just wanted to learn more and took my friend/guitar 'mentor's' bass on a regular basis.
And then recently I got electric drums.
So I guess my not wanting to think and my step dad got me into music.
