BryannosaurusRex 1,173 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 In all seriousness, I did learn to play the didgeridoo. I have one somewhere in the house. I can play a few chords on guitar, but I’m not very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnaker1981 974 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Piano and Guitar, but I am also not very good at the guitar... @Crawford1872 is the guitar guru... I have also played the trombone in a band, for a short while, but I was also not very good at it.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I can play some stuff on guitar and ukulele, played cello at school as well, but not since. Used to do some DJ'ing at some small(ish) events around South Wales and South England, played many online radio shows. Worked on a few studio collaborations. Music will always be one of my first loves, it's a great way to express yourself, whether it be creating music, singing, playing out or dancing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,846 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 When I was at school I had lessons for the piano, tenor horn (like a small tuba) and recorder. I was never very good though and just couldn't get motivated to put the right amount of practice in. I now don't have any instruments. But I can read music and I know, in principle, how to play those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALL_es1583070462 286 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 When I was at school I was only taught how to play the flute... I also have an harmonica. I play it randomly when I'm at mic sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnaker1981 974 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) My daughter (my wife, in the name of my daughter, of course) bought me an Harmonica last christmas also. I love how it sounds, but being able to play it? not yet... Edited April 28, 2018 by Spinnaker1981 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I did play the Viola in 4th grade but all I remember is my “plucking” solo. Yep. They gave me a solo part but it was just me flicking the string with my hand and not the stick. 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,180 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I’ve played guitar for over 15 years, which is surprising considering how average I am I would be better but I never really practiced it, just played it, if that makes sense. I’m pretty decent though, can’t shred like Van Halen but I could be the guitarist for the Kaiser Chiefs or Muse, stuff like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played in a band in the past. I used to play every day. All the callus are gone on my fingers and my hand gets tired more quickly 5 hours ago, Fido_le_muet said: I do alright at Guitar Hero...

bakri16 59 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I've started playing (electric) guitar for the past one or two months, i don't know any songs by heart, and not good with chords either, so i stick to playing riffs and simple solos from songs i like. There's a game called Rocksmith that teaches you guitar, it's like guitar hero but with real guitars, you connect your electric guitar with a special cable to your PC or Console and that's how it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. If you can practice and get the first position chords D, C, and G down. Theres hundreds of songs you can play. Power chords are fairly simple to learn. You may know but if you hold the 3rd fret on the E string and 5 frets on A and D below. Its a G chord. You can litreraly use that pattern all the way up and down the board. Also. Playing in drop D tuning. You can play the top three strings with one finger. Bands like soad, breaking Benjamin, avenged seven fold ect use that tuning alot. I been wanting to try rocksmith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraignbow 719 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I've played guitar for a total of 31 years, taught for 18. I'm now in school for something totally different. I've only made a few videos of my playing, a few years ago. I actually quit playing in 2015. I'm sure I'll start again after school is over. I still have all of my equipment. Here is my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_PhCkO1UsLLCxuri-XiTHQ?disable_polymer=true 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
