Yeah well, that's about the only option at the moment. Still sucks though. Wish I could travel back in time and slap younger me in the face.

I've been playing guitar for a while now, but i have been also learning to play the keyboard. So far it has helped me to learn more about music and even to play the guitar in a different way

Bass and a bit of drums.

Took the frets off of one of my acoustics. The neck is a fragile ass piece of crap (that's why I got it for free), so it can only handle four strings while staying in tune. There's not much I can do about that except for replace it, you can see the crack in the neck up by the neck.

Still love how it plays though. ****ty guitars are the greatest. It's about to get microtonal as ****.

I did that to one of my guitars ages back. I was never happy with the sound though - it sounded very thuddy without the frets, with the open strings way louder. I had some good microtonal fun for about 6 months then got some frets put back in.

I play the fife and flute.

Yes, Guitar

I play the violin, piano and ocarina :D

Saxophone, clarinet, and bass guitar. Always a nice change from jazzy improv on the winds to grounded, rhythmic work on the bass. The only major downfall is budgeting to keep all the instruments up to speed, but it's worth it.

Guitar! And I'd love to learn bass soon too !

I play guitar and sing :)

Guitar, bass, drums, keyboard/piano, harmonica and sing. I'd love to learn the violin or something like that but don't think I have the patience to start from scratch with it

Drums atm

:)
 

I just started playing the Ukulele. Over the past year, art, music, and literature has turned into forms of oxygen for me.

I am not very "good" at playing the uke yet, but I'm working everyday at it and will improve. I feel so at peace when I play.

In a month or so I will buy a piano (used to play as a kid).

Being the untalented blob that I am, no, but I'd like to learn the banjo, maybe the lyre (partly just for the drama of being able to wander around with a lyre) or harp, the accordion, and the santoor (pretty much all varieties of the dulcimer).

If you learn the banjo we'll start an Americana group if I move to Austin

Banjos and accordions are fun as hell and relatively easy to learn if you have experience with playing stringed or keyed instruments. The dulcimer type instruments are also awesome and really fun but be warned that they run the risk of lack of variation with the fret placement. Of course, like anything you can become a G at that instrument.

I feel like I am obsessive enough by nature to be able to learn whatever. Hopefully. Accordions and banjos do look like a lot of fun. It seems the cheapest santoors are $300, which seems reasonable enough (However I still have no clue what instrument I should start with; I will have to research more)

We all should just move to Austin already!
I would love to be in a doom-folk band, personally.

Oh, and since you like Red House Painters, I feel I should mention this somewhat embarrassing factoid: I once recorded a toy piano cover (because a regular piano would not have sounded pitiful enough, I guess) of Mistress and put it on the internet. Actually there were two toy pianos (and ghostly layered vocals) involved. Thankfully it's long gone!

:O doom-folk you say??? That sounds ****in rad

Lmao I'd kinda like to hear that, sounds interesting. Maybe I could record my own toy piano cover...

:0 You should! The public simply demands toy piano covers of Red House Painters songs.

Any yes, either doom folk or a 1950s rockabilly halloween-themed band (which only plays covers of obscure and unpopular halloween songs of yore) !

It always confounds me why the other holidays don't have quite as much music.

i wish i could play the iraqi santur

I have played the flute, piccolo, violin, bass, a little of piano and a little of guitar.

When I was a teenager I got a guitar and practiced all the time, but never got good at it. Still wish I was good at playing an instrument like the guitar or piano.

I can do some basic piano and I am attempting to learn guitar again.

I was kinda good at violin back when I was 11 or 12, but I stopped practicing and pretty mutch suck today.

aw dang. I would love to try violin.

I can play guitar, bass, ukulele and mandolin. I feel like it's kinda cheating because they're all very similar instruments though.

And a little piano but I can barely read sheet music. I brought myself a trombone on impulse once and was blown away by how difficult it is to play without lessons, I only use it to scare people now. No regrets.

I know :(
I tried playing it again sometimes but I'm surprised by how mutch I suck now :D
It has that sad note to it that gives me chills me every time I hear someone play it properly.

I play drums, been in a couple of bands but now I have dropped out I find it hard to get motivated to practice on my own.

I'm learning to play on a borrowed keyboard. Not any good yet, although I've learned to pretend I know how to play by doing some simple jamming. It will only fool people who aren't all that into music.

Hi all.
Just got myself a 4 string Bass. Also have an Amp. Can play a bit of Boris the Spider by the Who and some of Green Onions by Booker T & MGs, Really going to start to get stuck in now and learn to play tunes all the way through.

Piano.

What do you have against keyboards??

Maybe there's just a lot of metal heads on this site. Metal heads have long harbored an irrational hatred of keyboard players.

Anyone know how to play the piano I really wanna learn?

I would have to see the piano first.

I played guitar very badly :D

yeah but you're not as good as this guy...

1:34 sounds like Buckethead.

I love Violin, Keyboard and Guitar but i also have a soft corner for other instruments.
