| I think there are alot of people who get into prog first and then get inspired to start playing an instrument. That's how it was for me, I've been playing guitar for about 5 years now. |

Yes, I play music since I was 8 years old (I'm 35 now).I began playing Hammond organ at 8. At 13, I began playing guitar.I made a college degree in music when I was 25 in guitar and piano as second instrument.Since 10 years,I mostly play keyboards and considered myself more a keyboardist than a guitarist.Since 1996, I began collecting vintage instruments like a Hammond organ (L112), a mellotron M400 and a Wurlitzer EP200 electric piano and a Clavia Nord Lead (not exactly vintage but a hell of a synth!)and considered quite happy with what I got.The only instrument that I would like buying is a good monophonic synthesizer like a minimoog or an Arp Odyssey and a Leslie speaker for the Hammond organ.
Yes, I beleive that prog rock is mostly a musician's music.My friends who wasn't playing an instrument hates prog rock to death.On the other side,friends who are musicians like prog to death(myself included).

Seems I'm the only one here who doesn't play music.
Results prove that prog is music for musicians, but I know many prog fans who cannot play any instrument. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

I used to play trumpet in high school. I took a guitar lesson, I liked playing classical guitar a little but didn't excite me enough to continue in it.
I play the didgeridoo I'm actually not too bad. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I very much enjoy playing piano, at a level which makes most interesting pieces I try to learn into comfortable challenges. And I like it that way.
I suppose soon I'll have to move down to 'I try to play', as my beloved keyboard (which, admittedly, I had by means of a two-year loan) is requisitioned by the owner.

I play the guitar and piano (about 10 years); sometimes bass guitar, mandolin, harmonica or glockenspiel.
