Are you a professional musician, semi-pro, wanna-be pro, or an at-home-messing-'round-in-my-spare-time player ?

i gues wanna-be pro. i'm working my way through high school (or some dutch form of it) to do a music education.

Have you recorded your own compositions ? Got samples online ?

actually, i have. right here: http://cllct.com/art/davidjonasse

i really gotta update it with newer stuff though.

What instrument(s) do you play ?

Bass guitar, Acoustic guitar

What instrument(s) do you wish you could play ?

i kinda like the drums, and i really need to get me an electric guitar, for the use of practise and better songmaking.

Do you play Prog or another type ?

sortof. my own stuff is basically improvied noise/post-rockish stuff, guess that could be called prog of a type. my compositions wiggle between prog and stoner/doom, so there ya go. my current band plays sludgy/thrashy/post-metalish folk metal, but i'm setting up a proggish powertrio right now.

Onboard musicians 2,3. But I personally like to play a guitar. A song about love.

Definitely a messing around spare time player

Have you recorded your own compositions ? Got samples online ?

Not really a composer, love to improvise, no samples although I have recorded stuff that might be interesting.

What instrument(s) do you play ?

Mainly doing acoustic guitar and that's been my standard mode for many years, easy to pick up and put down.  I prefer classical as my fingers tend to corrode the smaller gauge strings of the standard steel string guitar.  Love to play synthesizer, too (an old Kawai  K1 at the moment).

What instrument(s) do you wish you could play ?

Violin or flute, never picked either of those up but I feel I could do something interesting if I tried. 

Do you play Prog or another type ?

Prog remains my favorite type, but since I'm primarily a dabbler and improviser, who knows what hell, I'm doing, I most certainly don't? LOL

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

Basically a "Messing 'roud in my spare time" player with a bit of wanna-be pro in me.

Have you recorded your own compositions ?  Got samples online ?
Not yet, though my friend keeps claiming he's going to upload the video of me playing my sole "composition" to youtube one of these days.  I'll be sure to post it in the "Just for Fun" section of the forums. LOL

What instrument(s) do you play ?
Fretted and fretless electric basses, upright bass, trombone

What instrument(s) do you wish you could play ?
Drums and piano.

Do you play Prog or another type ?
Hmm, a lot of time I'd say it's another type, though it could probably almost fit in the fusion niche.  On occasion I try to come up with some fun Zeuhl riffs but that doesn't work out so well that often.

I am studying music in college. I play the trumpet, as is required piano, and guitar. I jam with some friends for fun, nothing serious. I have never recorded anything, I mostly just learn songs of other artists, mostly metal(Priest,Metallica,Maiden,Megadeth). I play trumpet, so jazz and band music as well.

Evening.

Play bass guitar & E.U.B., bouzouki, guitars, flute, bodhran, mess around on keyboards, used to be a "proper" classical singer (far too long ago).

Was a pro, currently trying to get back into things while doing the 'single parent' thing.

Ex-member of Citizen Cain, played bass on "Somewhere But Yesterday" (1994)

Some of my current stuff is "folk-prog-jazz-whatever", and can be found over at:

FaceBook 'muso' page:

right, that's quite enough about me, who's next?
