What Instrument Do You Play?

[PrLatino93]

I used to play trumpet for two years in my school's concert band, but than i dropped it because i hated it lol. This upcoming school year, my school introduced beginner guitar as a class because vh1 save the music donated guitars so i think i'm gonna start playing guitar.


so, what instrument(s) do you play?

[Rutherford The Brave]

12 string acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, drum set, trumpet.

[PrLatino93]

12 string acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, drum set, trumpet.

nice. where do you get all those instruments from??

[Rutherford The Brave]

I bought them, when I was basically homeless and living with a foster family I decided to pick it up when I found that someone threw a twelve string in the trash. I used to go into Boston and open my case people would tip me :)

[theOperaGhost]

I sing, play piano, organ, tuba, baritone, electric and acoustic guitar, and accordion.

I want to learn trumpet and I want to get a bass guitar.

[Techno Monster]

Cello
Bass Guitar
A little bit of piano... just a little though.

Cello is my favorite.

[PrLatino93]

how the heck does everyone play multiple instruments?? lol

[Techno Monster]

Because once you know one, you can basically figure some others out. :P

[DaretoFallup]

I play the Alto Saxophone.

[Musicalmonstar]

I play Trumpet mainly and all other brass instruments including Horn!! and some violin and clarinet.....

[0=]

Guitar. I can play a little bass, too.

[Trademarked]

i used to play the trombone, and LOVED IT but had to stop when i broke my arm. then i did african drumming in middle school, and liked it more. so i think if i had to continue a music career i would play percussion or someting.

[Ryandel]

Musical people in my family. Naturally my answer would be:
My voice is the only instrument I need to project the sounds of my personality.

But over the years I learned and still play:
-Acoustic Guitar
-Bass Guitar
-Violin
-Flute
-Saxophone
-Piano
-Piccolo
- and I'm currently mastering Electric Guitar

[ShatteredWings]

how the heck does everyone play multiple instruments?? lol

if you can read one staff you can read both, and if you know the notes the rest comes easily



piano and claranett... i took claranet from when i was like 8, but i havent played in awhile.

i'm pretty good at piano an i'm made to play alot

how the heck does everyone play multiple instruments?? lol

Moving between acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, etc. is pretty easy since they're so similar. You also just pick up a general awareness of the music, maybe learn to read notation, and it makes it easier to play a lot of things.

[ShatteredWings]

hm, gutair is one i'd like to learn...

[Yasmine]

i would rather sing, than use an instrument. i couldn't play an if i tried, anyway.

[AutumnDae]

Clarinet. I'm pretty good at it too. I'm first chair in the band. Well the junior band. Senior band goes by grade, then by chairs. I'll be 9th grade, first chair.

[mr. self destruct]

I'm not in band anymore, but I can play piano and clarinet.

[theOperaGhost]

To answer the question of how one plays multiple instruments. You don't even have to know how to read music, you just have to have a good ear. I do both, but I'm better at reading music. I kind of suck at playing by ear. If you learn music theory though, it should just come naturally. I play all of my instruments with sheet music except guitar. I play guitar by ear and sometime I cheat and use tabs.

[Zephyr]

I taught myself a little bit of the piano,
And I took like 6 months of clarinet lessons back in 5th grade.

true. i can play things by ear but it takes ahwile.. but sheet music i only read like every fourth note or so. unless its a hard piece/odd note combinations. music is actually pradictable

[theOperaGhost]

Music is very predictable. That is how jazz works out so well, improvisation has to follow certain, predictable criteria.

[josh92]

I play electric and acoustic guitar. I own 5 guitars all together

[Whisper]

I play the umm.....iPod

I started taking Piano lessons
but we ran out of money

[ShatteredWings]

[trackstar9.875]

Drums, and I'm told....Exceptionally Well.

Good enough to be considered a Concert drummer with the school symphony.

But I just (honestly) view the talents of a drummer...basically...timing and feeling...to be NOWHERE NEAR as much talent, as say...someone who plays the piano, organ, guitar, clarinet.

Jeeesss...I just take two (2) sticks and hit a fabric/plastic top; How much "talent" is really there?

Buy a beginner's kit and plug it in. Tabs are easy to read. You'd be surprised at how simple some of the most complicated-sounding things are.
