Prawnaldinho Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 How many of you play an instrument and what kind? Have you tried to play an instrument how did it go? I have played the drums for 5 ish years and started because I thought it looks fun and why not. Now I feel I have improved alot in all aspects apart from live performance. I never really tried to get in a band or "get out there". In my 4th year of playing I hit a wall where it never felt like I was improving until decided to buy some electronic drums and started to record myself. I have also tried guitar, but didn't find it as fun, as well as harmonica which is pretty hard actually (but still having a go). If you don't play an instrument do you have any stories from local gigs etc that were funny, amazing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingStoned Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I decided to take up guitar to keep myself outta trouble the year after high school, so as of now, I've been playing for about 3 1/2 years. Not great but love playing acoustic chill stuff (alot of Jack Johnson, Sublime, Tom Petty in my repetoire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackBennys Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 What's that supposeda mean? I don't think it means anything, people just look for a reason to insult and put others down. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshdfs Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I played the saxophone in Junior High Jazz band because I wanted to be like the sax player (Shades was his name) on "the Muppet Show".... After a few years I realized it was having the exact opposite effect ( wasn't getting any girls ) and I quit. I suspect there are a few "Skin Flute" afficionados in our midst......

Leiting Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I play the harmonica. I know it sounds lame, but I was a big Bob Dylan fan in my teens, and I picked it up. Self taught, though I did buy a few books on how to teach yourself, but after a while it just is something you either get or you don't. I got pretty good, a few of my friends are in bands (one in Hollywood, the other in Austin, TX) and I've done a track for each of them on their CDs. It's a fun instrument cause it's easy to carry around, and once you get to whaling on it, you can really get a lot of improv'd inner emotion out.
