I'm hoping to pick up something with a pretty dirty, dank and twangy deeper sound, and a VERY percussive-friendly body as I'm planning on getting really into the 'drum' appeal of a banjo. Not sure if I can find a starter along those lines but I'm more than happy to spend a little extra cash for what I want.

To get poetic, a banjo that brings to mind the greasy, long-nailed fingers of a murderous cajun, not the calloused ones of a good-natured farmer. Went to GC over the weekend and of the four total banjos they had in store, none of them jived the way I want.

I play everything I can get my hands on, though not always that professionally.

I'm probably the best at the ukulele right now, but that's only because it's so handy to take with me everywhere (as opposed to my drums). Also because it's not that difficult to make it sound okay :)

I'm slowly but surely picking up guitar again, I'm pretty awful on bass though. It's like I can't hear the low notes as clearly, but that might just come with practice.

I used to be an okay drummer, but for the past few months our home has needed a lot of peace and quiet which means little to no practicing for me, and that has made me really rusty.

I know how to play the keyboards (and NO, it doesn't suck!) but im not very good at it, i used to have a big old keyboard that was a hand me down from a friend and i was using that to get better but then i lost it. :(

I taught myself how to play bass, have been for 8 years :)

I've been teaching myself guitar, with the help of a friend of mine, for around 3 years. I also play synths to make weird electronic stuff too, but my first love was guitar, really :D

can play the saxophone altho my main instrument is my voice

really want to learn how to play the and keyboards/synthesizer.

I attended guitar lessons for a couple of years at school, played rock music, classical pieces, Spanish guitar music I liked it so much, but gave it up later I had no time

'Sssup all!

New guy here & would like to intro'myself. A musician on/off for over 30+ years, I've experienced a small modicum (really small :p:) of success as a bassist (with some skillz as a drummer/keys & rhythm git) playing in var bands & some studio-session work. Performed on a coupla' albums produced by small, local-independent labels "back-in-the-day" (don't ask) & played with various Jazz/Funk/Rock-fused bands. Had the opportunity to perform with jazz-saxist, Frank Wes, pianist Walter Murphy (produced & recorded 70's R&B hit, "5th of Beethoven), former percussionist, Ed Franklin (son of Aretha) & several others.
Now-a-days, I write, perform, track & record my own music in my "home studio" trying my hardest to fuse today's sound with ol'-skool 70's funk/jazz/r&b/rock. I record to both ADAT's (I luv the that soft, analog-type digital recording) & ProTools (so easy). Music is my release from the stress of everyday life & hope to be able to share what I know as well learn from others.
'Nuff said.....

Wow, a real rock star. Tell me your secrets :P

Yes...:drummer: I'm more than happy keeping time and holding everything together, so to speak. Although I prefer to say I play drums AND percussion. But I digress. ;)
