I used to play piano when I was a young kid. Picked up a keyboard again recently and have been attempting to better myself at that.

Don't have any money for lessons, which is a bit of a disappointment. Started off with basic melodies from mostly video game music, then moved onto Camel and classical music. Still working my way up. Only been playing for a few months.

I also played the violin as a boy, but I'm not sure how skilled I would be at that these days.

I also compose a bit of my own stuff, but nothing too complex just yet.

If any experienced keyboardists have any advice, I'd be happy to hear it~

Yeah, I play guitar and keyboards to an extent, going to get a bass soon, I'm not great or anything, adequate I guess.  But I spend most of my time up in my room writing twenty minute epics, and then I have to deal with the frustration of people not wanting to be in a prog rock band.  Every musical person I know doesn't like prog.

Prog Rock fans are often musicians because it is a form of music that is defined by the virtuosity of the players and/or the complexity of the compositions. It is not as easily accesible to non-musician listeners as simple music forms such as punk.

I play the sax, guitar, and piano/keys.

Electric Guitar. I'm learning how I can, in home. I haven't got money for pay class. . But Iam very happy in one year and a half I managed to play (with more or less sucess) some songs or part of the songs that I like. There's no money enough in world to pay the pleasure of playing, for example, a guitar solo of Andrew Latimer.

Now my life is divided in two sections: when I'm listening to music and when I'm making music. It's wonderfull ¡¡¡ (well, sometimes I try to read a book or go to watch a good movie ).

We were always be much human than we whish to be.

Well, I played Alto and Tenor Sax and clarinette but I didn't like that. The sounds of sax just makes me sick, and not because I was the sax player, I just hate this sound :S .

Now I want to learn how to play bass guitar because I think it's the coolest instrument in the world. It sounds sooooo intense !

So watch out for me, I'll be the next best bass guitarist on earth .. see you soon in concert

I've been playing the keys and the piano for some time now. I just learned to play the piano intro to Firth of Fifth. So sweet! I never thought I could play that one day 

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

I've noodled on a guitar from time to time, but unfortunately I've never commited to it.  I can play the intro riff to Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper, but little else...

Yeah, its a pretty subjective question...

Because according to what i have observe, i found out that most people who really appreciate prog rock more are the ones that either:

1: Play a Musical Instrument
2: Have knowledge in Music
3: Able to write music
4: A musician

As you see, i strongly emphasize the word Most.. I am sure that there are also ppl who doesn't fall into the 4 catagories, just want to do a survey =).

Cheers!
