all depends on what you're looking to do with your sound hehehe. there's no wrong way to play music, just lots of different ones hehe

Guitar.

Guitar, drums, keyboard, tuba, trumpet, and a little bass (mainly because I play guitar).

:hphones::dj::band:

I play alot of instruments. Sax(alto and bari), piano, guitar, harmonica, flugal horn. Hopefully the list will grow. I crazy that way:crazy:

if no one minds me bumping this, Guitar, bass, trumpet and harmonica, although the last 2 i suck at

I wanna get in on this also. I've been a drummer for the past 7 years but I recently picked up the guitar around a month ago. I cant feel my finger tips lol. I wanna pick up bass and the sax eventually some day...I use to play the trumpet in elementary school, those were the days lol. ^harmonica is pretty cool too, you can multi-task while jamming on your guitar!

I play bass, but I've recently started harmonica, which I'm in love with.

guitar

I study flute in university, been playing it for about 14 years now (omg!)

I also play guitar & bass (12 years of that), and some drums (on and off for about 5 years).

Because I can play flute, I can also play the saxophone. Usually tenor (I own one) but sometimes alto.

I play guitar and piano and some bass and my voice.

The didgeridoo would be fun to learn how to play.

Good pick. It looks so hard to play, but I have heard it done well.

As for me, I don't play any instruments. Here's my list from what I want to learn first:

-Piano (I know a little, but not enough.)
-Bass guitar
-Violin
-Drums
-Cello
-Voice

I've played guitar for 7 years now, however I'm eying a banjo right now, think I'll save up some money this summer and pick it up sometime in August if it isn't gone by then.

you should get a ukulele... and annoy the living fuck out of your friends.

I'd love to learn the acoustic bass. I heard my music teacher playing it and it sounded amazing...

Haha believe me I can do that without the use of a musical instrument, that includes voice.

Me too, living with me my roommates have to put up with A LOT of: piano noises, bad guitar, and singing (in the shower, in the kitchen, everywhere).

Guitar player.
34 years.

good bass players are rarer.

I play all of the above

...and


Ukelele
Harmonica
Mandolin
Banjo
Synthesizers
Organ
and a little bit of accordion.

im a 13 year old girl drummer and a songwriter aswell!

I play the bass, drums and a little on keys

Is that why your UN is sogriter1300? -_-

I'd absoutely love to start learning the guitar, also you can get some really kickass sounds out of a keyboard, very heavy sounds too.

Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano & Flute. i wish i could play. i kick myself for not taking music as a standard grade :(. i cant play any instruments, basic drums & guitar. thats it. n i wouldnt even count that :(.

I voted guitar tho I don't actually play it. But started learning it 2 months ago. I learned the piano for 2 years when I was 10. I love the piano but I hated playing it, it's too clean. It did help me tho in reading notes and music.

too many people play the guitar. people need to be at least a little different. if u wana play guitar at least go with bass cause its way better. we need less guitarist in the world and more bassist cause bassists are hard to find and its upsetting -.- but i personally drum =)

I agree with you that more people should learn bass. But it doesn't matter if too many people "play" guitar. Not all of them play well, and that's more important than playing an instrument just to be different.

I play piano (and it doesn't suck) and recently I've been picking up the guitar. So far so good.

*raises hand* Currently learning bass!

Bass players aren't too hard to find, now drummers, good ones are very rare nowadays.

i guess it depends on the are on what's availible instrumentally. like i hear people in other states looking for a drummer or bass player, but where i live alot of band are having a tough time looking for lead guitarists, as strange as it may sound.

I know. [= I'm so excited.

Bass players and drummers were always hard for me to find when I was starting a band. Even guitarists sometimes. I play some guitar, but more ensemble pieces than anything.

Exactly. I think it's also difficult finding someone easy to work with. Yeah there are a lot of good guitarists, but who's to say they get along well in a band?

You don't have violin =/

I'd choose violin

i've read the advice to this situation so many times from so many musicians it's not funny anymore but ultimately it boils down to this.

if you have to choose between a cool person / friend who isn't that good at the instrument or someone who's great at the instrument but doesn't get along with anyone else. choose the crappier musician. technical ability with an instrument is WAY easier to change than another person's attitude.

This is so very, very true. I've seen so many bands falter because the dynamic s of their relationships weren't working for them. Attitude and amiability are very important when it comes to making music with a group of people, IMO.

So you're agreeing with me. xD

i'm a singer-songwriter.

guitar and voice

As above, I also agree.

One of my main reasons for starting Bass, other than to find a new musical identity, was because there is such a shortage of them in Alabama.
Also, i'd say it all has to do heavily with timing.
Where as two years ago, there were hardly any bassists, now we're overrun with them.
The major "want" right now is a decent singer.
I suppose that's always a "want" though :P

Also, I picked Other for harmonica.

I play the clarinet, and a little bit of saxaphone.
I don't like playing the saxaphone or the clarinet, but it's going to be what's getting me a scholarship.
