Instruments

Does anyone here play an instrument? I used to play guitar, but I quit and started piano. Right now I'm learning to play Beethoven's 5th Symphony, which surprisingly isn't as hard as it sounds. I think next I'm either going to learn to play the saxophone or violin. What about y'all? Do y'all play anything and are y'all learning anything new?

smoke em if you got em

Took a few guitar lessons but didn't stick with it.....I should start to learn to play again

Played the tuba in high school. Been goofin' around on the gee-tar for years, but never got serious enough to take lessons.

Started with piano a looong time ago. Now I play guitar and bass just about every day.

I've played the alto sax, the bass guitar, stand up bass, and the organ (shut up) at various times. After all that experimenting I figured out that I suck at music.

Started drum lessons in grade school, learned to read and write the music and beat the hell out of a rubber dot. Yay. Joined a drum and bugle corp (marching band) when I was 12, no openings for drummers so I learned the bass baritone. Eventually saved enough to buy a drum set when i was 16, now that was fun. Sold (gave) it to a friend of mine starting a garage band when I was in my 20's. Told my wife a few years ago thinking of buying another drum set when I retire. She said she would move out, I said don't sweeten the deal, lol.

Started drums when I was 10 or 11 in school band. Stuck with band through high school and played on a college line for 4 years too. Picked up guitar in 6th grade, stuck with that too. Played for a campus ministry band during college, and one summer played in a rock band going around to military bases, prisons, and juvenile det. centers. Unfortunately I don't have much time anymore to play, but I'm hoping to pick it back up a little after grad school. Grad school is in order to fund a house large enough to hold 1. Cigars, and 2. All my guitar and drum ***. Lol!

Trombone, used to be pretty good. Got to warm-up with J.J. Johnson, once. Haven't kept it up.

Poopy Jones

Been drumming for 39 years. Started out with a pair of sticks, practice pad and instructional book. Played in school band/orchestra/jazz band/marching band through high school while taking private lessons. After high school I was always jamming with somebody. Started playing in bars here in the Phoenix area in 1985 and haven't stopped since. Have done 3 full length CD's with various projects locally. I've been lucky to do some fill in work for a national band based here in Phx which has included a large outdoor festival and fly out weekend shows. Currently I'm in 3 different projects that play here locally and travel to casinos here in the state

I own a guitar. Can make sounds with it on occasion that sound familiar. Really need to get back into it.

I'd love to learn to play the organ. Did you ever learn any Bach on the organ?

I don't think so, I wasn't able to learn very much on it besides simple church hymns. I took lessons a few times a month for about a year and then my teacher died (she was REALLY old) and I never really got back to it.

Double post yet again...

Man I don't know where to start, I can play the piano, violin, did competition bass drumming for a while, oh and I can play Bagpipes, miss that the most out of everything. Played drum sets, snare and quad back in highschool, also clarinet, and trombone. Still miss bagpipping and going to highland games to compete individually and as a group.
