Excellent/Good: French Horn.
Not very good: Piano/Keyboards....I'd really like to take lessons, though.
Excellent/Good: None except for that organ in the store that plays the music for you while you sit there making you look good from a distance.
Pretty good: Bass Guitar
Not very good: Guitar, Piano, Harmonica
Tried: Lots of them, including Trumpet, flute, drums, xylophone, saxophone.
How about you?
For instance, I picture Herbivor Female as a moody guitar player...ya know, sort of an edgy minstrel.![]()
Excellent/Good: French Horn.

At one time I played the piano quite well...I took 8 years of lessons growing up. Burned out too.
Taught myself guitar...pretty decent as a rhythm player, not worth a crap as lead. Most experienced playing in church choirs.![]()
bass: pretty good
Nothing else besides a few chords on guitar. I've become a pretty fair singer the past couple of years, though.
Trombone, slide and valve.
Some other brass instruments...
I played trombone for many, many years although I haven't picked it up in quite some time. I was All State in high school so I guess I was pretty good.
Good(I have a problem saying excellent) - Trombone, Baritone, Trumpet, and Guitar. I was a busy child, but I love playing music.
I can also carry a tune and I'm now messing around with a harmonica (key of C) that Jess got me for Christmas. It doesn't seem like a hard instrument to play in order to get down some melody lines for solo guitar performences, I dig it.
Even though I've played guitar for years now, I can still improve on some aspects. I bought a slide long ago determined to learn how to play with it, and I have yet to do so.
I can carry a decent tune, but I don't have an exceptional voice by any means. Hopefully, once there's a piano around, I can train it much better.
I should be learning Piano in a couple of months. That is something I am eagerly looking forward too. My learning curve on picking things up is usually very steep, so hopefully it won't be long before i'm playing well.
I think I can play the kazoo.
I have nine years of piano lessons, but small carnie hands and a brain that doesn't like to communicate between the halves very frequently has prevented me from playing as well as I could. I play more now than I ever did while I was taking lessons, though - and I'm working on saving up for a digital piano in the next couple months, which is when Manuel plans on learning.
I also started out on the xylophone.
Played Trombone in HS band, during college and afterwards taught myself Bass guitar (Kramer Flying V Style) and joined a heavy metal band. It's been about 10-12 years since I've picked it up
I had to take piano lessons in college. I was certainly an underachiever. I just couldn't get my hands to work together.
I learned my 2-5-1s so I could comp in a very elementary way, but I couldn't grasp much else.
was good at playing violin and viola...still remember songs when i pick my violin up im not nearly as good as i used to be.
JimCS plays the skin flute.

oh really - do tell jim
i've played with lots of organs but never any instruments

Good: Any of the clarinet family, main instrument is Bflat Clarinet (I play this for the church orchestra)
So-so: Saxophone (tenor & alto) (I still need to refer to fingering charts...)
I was in a couple of choirs too, but I wouldn't say I have a fantastic voice or anything...
I tried to teach myself guitar but that didn't last long.. I guess I lost interest too quickly...
Oh and I can play Chopsticks on the piano!![]()
In second grade I played the recorder with my nose in our class talent show.
True story.

I'm a turntablist, and I dj Epic Trance and UK Hard House.
I'm also dabbling in production of Trance, Trip-Hop, and other forms of Electronica at the moment, using software such as Reason, Sonar, etc...
*is impressed*
Hopefully it wasn't one you borrowed.
Guitar, bass, piano, drums, (violin, just the basics)

I took piano lessons for many years and stopped when we moved to SA (1980)...the movers improperly moved the piano and ruin the keys and some of the tuning parts inside, my parents never repaired so I stopped playing.....used to be able to competently play Beethoven....now can't play "Mary Had A Little Lamb".....I can't read music like I used to be able to........my parents say I can sing......IMHO, my cat in heat can hold a tune better.
getting lessons on an acoustic guitar.
IMO, when played right, the most beautifull sounding instrument ever constructed.
THinking about getting that Garth Brooks edition Takamine, so I dont have to with the damn string pegs.
7 & 8 grade = First Band, Second Chair - Tuba
9 grade = marching band - started at second chair , then moved to first chair - Tuba
