As an 8 year guitarist the piano would naturally seem difficult to me, plus i haven't the co-ordination between hands for this sort of thing, i'm getting there slowly.

I haven't got any scores to learn from so it's mostly working out the melody over the chords best i can, which is far longer and more drawn out.

Bassoonist 03-23-2007 06:41 PM

Bassoon - main.
Alto Saxophone - learning.
Piano - learning.
Trumpet - Secondary.
Clarinet - Gave up on.
Flute - Gave up on.
Guitar - Was too boring.

There you have it. Mainly I'm a bassoonist/trumpet player though. I don't know the saxophone to well, but I love it a whole lot. I don't like the trumpet, so I want saxophone to replace it as my secondary instrument. :P If you can't tell the list above is in order of liking.

My voice: 14 years.
Piano: 6 years.
Aucoustic Guitar: 2 years, although I don't play anymore, so I guess it doesn't really count.

bass and vocals. That be it.

Maximstark 04-14-2007 09:20 PM

2 years rhythm guitar. I'm in a band but... well its not going exactly how I planned it would go... the lead guitarist doesn't know when hes supposed to stop, maybe that a lesson for everyone else out there. when all the other instruments have stopped playing, its time for the solo to end. Oh yeah, its a metal band... I don't know how I got conned into joining but I'm not really into metal.

beyondthismysticalyak 04-15-2007 04:39 PM

I've been playing guitar for about 3 and a half years.

PopIsDead 04-15-2007 04:50 PM

I've been playing bass, guitar, and piano for a while. I've recently learned to play mandolin. I can also play various other instruments, but I would only consider myself mediocre (at best) at playing those.

Daydream_Haze 04-16-2007 06:21 PM

6 years of trumpet
1/2 a year of trombone
vocals (yay ^^)

yes, i'm a high school band geek. woo.

PhishFood 04-17-2007 05:25 PM

all self taught at the instruments I play
Guitar, Bass, keyboards and drums- pretty passably, guitar the best
I fiddle around with a drum machine sampler doing intresting things with that, and i have a trumpet banjo and mandolin all laying around that i can hit notes on...

AeternusAmatorius 04-18-2007 03:52 PM

12 years of piano, 2 years stadily.
1 or 2 months of alto sax.
Some guitar.
Some drums.
Some organ.
My voice. Meaning I sing.

I'd really like to get into Tenor or Baritone Sax but the Baritone is like as tall as me, I'm 5 foot and a half inch, so yea.
I'd also like to get into Trumpet and the Tenor drums.
I'd like to get into clairnet as well.

I play mostly the sax. But I can pick up other instruments, like the piano, guitar, and drums. But mostly I stick to the sax, cause I've been playing it for 5 years.

Alexander the Grape 05-03-2007 04:33 PM

I've taught myself guitar gradually over the last 2 years.
I played bass in the school band in 6th and 7th grade, then quit and tried to teach myself for about a year in 10th grade. Now I hardly ever play bass but after teaching myself guitar I'm a much better bassist.
I also hope to do vocals in a band once it gets warm enough here in Wyoming for me and my friend to practice in the loft of his shed.

Trauma 05-03-2007 08:44 PM

Saxophone- 6 years (Classical, jazz, experimental)
Guitar- 3.5 years (A lot of stuff)

bardonodude 05-04-2007 06:37 AM

Ive been playing guitar for 8 years. 4 of them have been with lessons, the other 4 without. Its nice to have a foundation but I really wish I self taught myself just because you pick up so much technical stuff from lessons and it doesnt work with the music I like lol. I do vocals as well

Canis Da Beast 05-06-2007 06:18 AM

Guitar

sarxist 05-13-2007 04:34 AM

Not too well rounded but I'm picking up the guitar currently. Drums have been my passion for 8 years now and I can play a bit of harmonica as well.

Well, My dad was a drummer. It seems like everyone in my family can play an instrument.

I play Guitar, I did play Piano at one point, I play drums, flute, and I sing.
Im more focusing on my singing and guitar playing at the moment.
