Any musicians here?

[Flagg]

Any of you guys play an instrument, or play several?

I'd really like to undertake one...I was thinking of the piano.

I mean check this out:

For those game nerds out there, its a theme for a game but its amazing how agile his hands are, it just sounds amazing. Any of you guys play piano or any instrument for that matter? Did it take you awhile to get good with what you picked up and can any of you knock out any decent tunes?

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

I play the drums and very little guitar.
I caught on pretty fast on the drums as far as basic beats and stuff, but to actually get good and play various things, took me a good two years or so. Then again, I didn't practice like I should have.
With the guitar, I'm a lost cause lol. I just can't seem to catch on.
Piano would be a cool choice. Actually, if I could start all over, I would've gone with the keyboard/synth/piano.

I play the man-flute.

Come on DSM, do you not even have the imagination to call it something like the pink oboe?LOL

drums, and a little guitar and piano. very little.

[DSM4Life]

I have always wanted to learn the guitar but not eclectic. I love the acoustic sound of songs.

This is also very cool. Pianos/keyboards seem so versatile compared to other musical instruments, not to take anything away from drums or guitars...it just seems easier to convey a song with keys.

Big and BigSexy, are drums as knackering to play as im told?

DSM, yeah..accoustic sounds awesome. I always prefered the sound of an accoustic guitar over electrical.

I wish I had the duck suit.

A lot of people just plain suck at drums. And yes, its tough to have all four limbs doing different things, and to keep it going constantly, and on beat. Just about all my friends play an instrument, and only 1 of them can play the drums decently.
It can, and does, get tiring, but if you can catch on and learn to play, drums are fun.

Hey, what kind of set do you have?

it's because it's starred out

the three*** are G P Z, try putting those in and it should work

[Bojangles69]

Piano formally when I was younger, then in later years I taught myself basic chords/progressions and what not.

Need to know that stuff for making EDM which is what I like to do.

Got it now. Wow, if you can play that I would personally be in awe. It reminds me of Bach: Goldberg variations.

[Bojangles69]

What's EDM?

Electronic Dance Music - mainly trance though

I have been playing the drums since elementry school. 20 something years. Had a garage band in high school. But we were never as hard or as good as we wanted to be. The piano is the foundation for all instruments. If you can master that, you can master anything.

[Dave-D]

Ukulele
