Any other musicians in the house?

[atomicholiday]

Just wondered. I've seen some musical references in names, signatures, & avatars while looking around on here.

I've played guitar for about 25 years. Not in any bands anymore & probably won't be again, but I'm still jammin' with friends from time to time.

Anybody else play anything?

[Harry P.]

I play a pretty mean radio...

[Agent G]

Bass guitar

Piano

Trumpet

Haven't touched any of the above in years. Lost my Fender Stratocaster and Yamaha keyboard in a divorce, gave the horn to my middle son ages ago.

I played Bass Guitar for many years in several different bands. I have a Fender Precision Bass and a Fender Bassman 100 Amp. Unfortunately I haven't played much at all for almost the past 15 years. I enjoyed playing 60's & 70's Rock and Blues.

I do sound for the worship team at church.

I used to play trumpet but lost my chops about 15 years back. Looked into a reed mouthpiece but never followed through. Sang and played a little bass with a couple high-school bands. Always wanted to play keyboards, bought a teach-yourself rig for the computer as a self-gift for this Christmas. Got an Irish tin whistle and a harmonica too.

While I "have an ear" for music , and while I've had the desire to play an instrument , I've never been able to "get it" .

I've always been fascinated with the Mellotron , Moog , and Farfisa keyboards ; the Sitar is beautiful ( I painted the body of a friend's sitar back in the 90's . Clashy psychedelic colours . It really stood out ! Some-thing perplexing about hearing him play his sitar to Venus In Furs (Velvet Underground , 1966) at a coffeehouse ! ).

Who knows ? Maybe some-day I'll get the bearings to play some simple 3-chord stuff ... Just don't call me Robert Quine yet !

[madhorseman]

Yeah, I played bass, and guitar in several garages bands years ago. Sold my four guitars and amps some where around the mid 90's. I bought myself an Ovation acoustic 6 string about a year ago.

[JTalmage]

I have a few guitars. Not very good at it and don't have a lot of time or attention to give serious lessons or dedicated practice. But even though I can't play well, to me guitars are as beautiful as cars and I'll collect em if I can get em cheap. Or if I really want em. Like my black 60's tribute Gibson Les Paul.

[Sixties Sam]

Trumpet player here. I'm in a community band. I was in the Penn State Blue Band in college 40+ years ago.

I was going to raise my hand and say "here", but I like playing grindcore, and grindcore isn't always music.

[Craig Irwin]

Blues harmonica player here. I have a Fender Strat too, but I wouldn't call what I do as playing music on it.

[Danno]

I play around.

Played trumpet and drums many moon ago.

Auditioned for Stan Kenton once upon a time . . . he liked my sound, but told me to come back after I finished college, and high school, and junior high school. Yeah, I was young. Yeah, he was nice, kind, and generous . . . and a friend of my dad's at the time. {I was good, but I wasn't that good! }

[chunkypeanutbutter]

I traded my cr-p Squier Strat to my Dad for a rig model and a few trailers

I've got a Lowrey Magic Genie 88 double manual organ with a built-in Leslie speaker that's fun to play... I attempt to play the guitar occasionally, but I don't like it as much as the organ.

We've got I think eight guitars.

Have played guitar for 35 years, some garage, and pub bands.

Have collected guitars and have 7 and a bass.

My friend and jam/recording buddy passed away (heart attack in his sleep) 2 years ago and just haven't had the itch since.

I leave my first (yamaha steel FG345) out for noodling.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Forgot I had a Goya flat-top mahogany steel string acoustic back in the '60s. Beautiful guitar, but I never got much past playing a bunch of chords. And my fingers were a little too short for the width of the neck.

[JTalmage]

Blues harmonica player here. I have a Fender Strat too, but I wouldn't call what I do as playing music on it.

thats something my friend and I always wanted to learn was harmonica...

[Tom Geiger]

Sad to say I don't have a musical bone in my body. I not only cannot carry a tune, I don't even own a bucket!

I do have music in my soul, but just can't get it out! One of my big regrets in life.

[forthlin]

I played guitar in several garage bands in my younger days. The first group I was in we called ourselves "The Hydraulic Banana". I still have the electric guitar I got in Nov. '69 & used in most of these groups. I haven't played in so many years It would take me forever to relearn everything.

Played acoustic for a while in a folk band, the drums for several years in 3 or 4 part-time bands in the Hamilton area. This was the mid-70s. Gave the drums to my sons (never got off the ground with them), and haven't played anything since. I do miss it!

[bismarck]

I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, let alone play an instrument. I wish I had the talent, and the time. I CAN string together some colorful cusswords when I cut my finger working on a build..

​I have played rhythm guitar with a couple of Old Timey String Bands, and now get together with a whole group of folks to play at some one's house. By far the most fun, better than playing in bands, jamming is the way to go. 1955 gibson LG-2 and a 1949 Kalamazoo (made by gibson) very vintage and very mellow.

[customsrus]

Played lead guitar in my brothers band for several years. Now I am teaching my grand daughter how to play. We even got her an electric guitar for Christmas.
