Just wondering how many of you play a music instrument? I played the guitar in high school for three years and dropped it after work took over and I didn't find time to learn new things. Just today I registered for a beginners piano class for spring semester, really looking forward to learning the piano.

with drums i play metal alot..i love pounding the crap out of them..with guitar it's a mix..i don't have an electric, so i don't really play alot of heavy stuff with that..mostly acoustic tunes...i have a 12 string so it sounds awesome

i play the piano man and its great to learn because once you learn it makes learning other instruments much easier. I also play the guitar and banjo....i have some steel drums but i havent gotten very good at them yet.

That's a reason I chose the piano, I hear it's one of the most difficult instruments to play. After I master the basics I want to emphasize on playing blues and also learn some metallica song on the piano too. Having some music skills i'm sure will help in learning the piano. I just wish I had skills like my cousin, he can learn any song by ear.

I've been producing hip-hop "beats" if you will for 2 years now, I knew absolutely nothing going in but always had a good ear for tempo and sounds. With my synthesizer and sound software I can simulate any instrument on the keys, so I've really taught myself by ear how to play and I can just freestyle melodies of the top of my head pretty good now. It's really fun shit to create a totally origional piece from scratch in a couple hours. I can smoke a joint and gap out for hours at a time just zoning and vibing like crazy, you got a whole orchestra at you finger tips. I still couldn't tell you what key is what, lol.

with enough practice youll be able to do that as well....my friend jake can play any song on command with his guitar, well if hes knows how it goes he can think of it in his head and within about 30 seconds he can play it. I hope to be that good one day but he started when he was 4 and hes now 24 so hes got 20 years under his belt

Same with my cousin, he started on the drums at age 7. He's now 25, he's had a band since middle school, and over the years he's mastered the guitar, piano, bass, and his number one, the drums.

Heh. I started playing an alto sax in highschool. i dumped the sax and then got a guitar. I can play it, but it just wasnt me if you know what i mean. I then met a kid who showed me bass. Ever since then (maybe 8 years now?) I've been playing bass.
4 string memphis with emg's in it... Also have a 4 string Fender percision bass (pbass). Slap sounds awesome on the fender, as does bass/jazz... But rock/metal sounds awesome on my memphis.

I started getting into making music about 5 years ago, using software synths and such. About 6 months ago I went out and bought an electric guitar (epiphone), and next I'll prolly get a bass or some drums. I don't really know a lot about music, but I love playing around while i'm high.
