Who plays musical instruments?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I once played the trombone and was able to hit a low note that was apparently quite rare. I was therefore handed a tuba … it was bigger than me at the time and quite uncool to walk around with so I gave it up. |

Too many.
Mainly piano, guitar & drums.
Then lots of spin off instruments from those instruments, like lots of different percussion instruments, bass etc.
I have few instruments I can't really play too. Like harps, koras and dulcimers etc..
.
OP if you're looking at scales on the guitar, have a look at joe robinson on youtube. Very good player and teacher. |

"I’ve played guitar for 13 years and currently learning all the scales, which I’m halfway through.
Thanks for your input."
Have a look on the tube for BB's boxes. BB King. |

I’ve played bass in a couple of bands when younger, now I play classical acoustic guitar - badly. I still have a bass and marshall amp in the loft , it comes out to play after a few bottles of wine |

The trombone is such a cool instrument to play. My daughter played it from age 4 in a band it was much bigger than her. There are some YouTube videos of her age 5/6 doing Xmas songs they are priceless. |

I played the tenor horn when at school, I can play keyboard pretty badly and played the recorder at the Royal Albert Hall. I'm not brilliant at any of them  |

Sounds like your average band these days 🤭🤓 |

Eb tuba started on a French horn when I was younger and ended up on the tuba in secondary school as I 'have the lungs for it'. I can also play a little guitar, piano and I sing a little too, but haven't sung in years, so I dread to think how I sound now.

"40 years old and never played an instrument. Brought my first guitar a few weeks ago, trying to teach myself and failing miserably 
Your not failing!....there's winning and learning"
Well I taught myself how to code a few years ago to the point that I'm now working as a dev, trying to learn guitar is proving to be a lot harder but I'm determined |

You’ve started - that means you’re doing just great! "

I would recommend that anyone who wants to learn a musical instrument starts with piano. Electric keyboards are quite cheap and written piano music is the basic format of most instruments. Most instruments, save a few, use the same bass and treble notation and all you need extra to play things like clarinet, flute, brass etc is the knack of the instrument - how to blow, finger positions etc. |

Me!
Singer/songwriter/guitar.
Played in (my own) original bands for years.
Nothing more satisfying than receiving praise for something you've written.
We have very fragile egos! |

Hardware synths and sequencers, Eurorack, drum machines.
I have an assortment of guitars and pedals but can’t really play.
Daft stuff I’ve built and messed about with -
Drones and noise built inside toys, circuit bent stuff, a tongue drum I’ve amped up, electric kalimba, 3 string cigar box guitar - loads of daft stuff.
Phone synths, samplers, virtual modular.
Anything I can chuck through a delay & reverb, basically.
Leading to use a DAW to control it. |

Well in a few more years then, you'll be a guitarist! Nothing about it is hard...it's just eight notes in different patterns and shapes
As the great Eric Morecambe once said
" I'm playing all the right notes. Not necessarily, in the right order" 🤣 |
