If my guitar playing blows, does it count as air playing?

I was just thinking, wouldn't playing a sax, harmonica, or a woodwind count as air playing? LOL

Electric and acoustic guitars along with a synthesizer.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

piano, badly. Doesn't help that the 'piano' I have to practice on is pretty dire.

Hopefully going to pick up bass after Christmas.

Good luck with that.

When I took up the saxophone, I thought it was the easiest instrument I've tried. Always liked it since then. Have fun with it. Smile

Cool thank you! 

I'm hoping it will come a bit easier to me since I've played other stuff for a while now.  Mostly I'll just have to get used to the fingering and of course blowing into the darn thing.  But I messed around a bit on Clarinet for a week and got a decent feel for that kind of technique.

Well i tried to think of every instrument that came to my mind i was going to say oboe but i didn't think anybody played that. Sax just came to mind because my brother in law plays Sax. And because I've always liked sax in jazz and the improv abilities.

The viola is a much under-rated instrument, which is a shame given its rich mellow sound.  It would work well in prog.

Now there's a question for another topic, prog tracks that include the viola.

I was going to say the same, but you missed the "nice Crimson T-shirt!" As well as portraitof DSOTM
 
 
Thank you fellas....
 that was my Bronx Ny Apartment back in 2005 And I decorated all by myself. painting those red walls was very expensive and plenty of work I chose PF dark side of the moon poster not only because is my number one band and my fav album of them, but because of Dark side of the moon I became a Prog fan back in the 80's when I was a kid. The King Crimson t.shirt I got it many years ago which is impossible to get these days and of course it is one of my fav album cover or all time and 2 favorite band...
