Yeah, I play guitar and keyboard in a power metal band with some prog
influences. We'll hopefully have some stuff recorded soon; once we do,
I'll post it on here.
Tomorrow, with some other musicians, I'm auditioning for my school's annual rock concert with a cover of Porcupine Tree's Blackest Eyes. I'll be playing guitar and singing; I've never done that before, so hopefully all will go well. |

I've been playing bass for six years, almost by ear (I just had a very bad experience with cello lessons before...) but now I'm seriously () studying 'cause now I have not just one but two bands [an all-girl indie band where I also do the backing vocals and a rock-blues one]!!! I'm really happy, although I'd prefer a hard rock or prog band... Ah, my fav songs to play:

I've been playing guitar and piano for 7 years. My band, which doesn't have an official name, is a Rush/Cream inspired band in our sound but we have long instrumental jams. My favorite songs to play right now are: Hemispheres |

[QUOTE=ViolinCyndee][QUOTE=hegelec]
So, I pose the questions: Do you play an instrument/sing? Yes to both. If you play an instrument, which one? Drums, percussion, keyboards. Have you received training? Nope. I can proudly say...I'm TOTALLY self-taught. How often do you often sing/play Progressive Rock? Not lately (e.g.; the last 2 or 3 months.). I've been doing a LOT of writing lately, so when I sit down to play, it's to arrange the song. What are your favourite songs to play? Favorite songs? Well, I'm biased, since they were the 1st rock I ever heard (1994). So a bit of Rush, and more and more of my own material. |

Do you play an instrument/sing? I sing, and I play drums and piano. If you play an instrument, which one? Drums and piano. Have you received training? I've recieved 4 years of drum
lessons, and started taking piano and singing lessons about a year ago. How often do you often sing/play Progressive Rock? When I'm not practicing technique, that's all I play. What are your favourite songs to play? I don't really have a
favorite song to play on piano or drums, but my favorite songs to sing are certain songs in DT's Scenes From A Memory and of course, my own work. :D |

How awesome. A place where I can talk about progressive rock and not hear "IS THIS ONE OF YOUR 50 HOUR LONG SONGS?!?!" I salute you. :D

I play only the piano & keyboards in general. My musical background is in classical music (during more than 10 years), now I explore new territories in contemporary music, notably in minimalism & "drone" suspended music.

I classify myself as a recovering folkie. I play guitar. Some harmonica. I sing. I've never been accused of being a virtuoso. I like playing Shel Silverstein and Neil Young songs. My favourites to play are anything with a major dose of humour. Songs like "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other", "Let's Do Something Cheap And Superficial", "Get My Rocks Off" and "I Got Stoned And I Missed It". There's another song that I don't perform publically but only for my wife. It's our song and mirrors perfectly the situatioin in our life when we became more than just friends. I'd tell you more about it but it's a really sappy, sickly sweet romantic story that would make you either sick or laugh at my pathetic life.

Do you play an instrument/sing? I play the guitar, at christmas or my birthday (two weeks after Christmas) I'll buy Vibes and learn to play on them.
If you play an instrument, which one? I play the guitar (electric and accoustic).
Have you received training? Yes.
How often do you sing/play Progressive Rock? As often as I can. I play in a band that is more or less progressive.
What are your favourite songs to play? The once's written by our band. Besides I love to play Gentle Giant's "Prologue".Edited by Badabec |

I play Guitar and Bass YEs, I have received training. I've been playing only a year, so my ability to play Prog Rock isn't good. So I play like, a couple hours a week. Working on easier songs like The Knife, I know What I Like, Us and Them, etc. |

Glad someone revised this thread. I'm fairly excited because I just started playing a flute. I played one years ago and it's all coming back to me. My wife had one in a closet. I've always wanted to play it but never seemed to have the time. Well, that and it seemed to bother my dogs. I started a new job and I sometimes work a nightshift with a couple of hours with nothing to do. I'm overjoyed that I have a place to practice with nobody to complain, great acoustics and I'm getting paid. I'm sure the boss might not be crazy about me bringing in something as bulky as a guitar but the flute is small enough that it fits into the duffle bag I carry. I'm having fun figuring out songs by ear. Maybe someday I'll buy actual sheet music.
