I played the triangle when i was at school, does this make me a prog triangulist, or am i suffering delusions of grandeur, or is the moon full? ------------- As i race o'er this beautiful sphere, Like a dog who is chasing his..... |

I play sax and flute mostly but I can also play the bass and piano really well. I can play the guitar if I need to but I kinda suck in my opinion.

| I play Guitar, but I also mess around on Bass and Piano. A while back I was writing a lot. But now I'm trying to not write, not only to make variety in the songs, but I found that the songs I wrote weren't from my head, they were just riffs I liked well jamming. So I decided to take a while and learn to pick things out by ear. Anyone else have that problem? |

I've played classical piano for 10 years , recently performed Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata.
I also play drums, all styles. My favorite songs to play are Neil Peart transcriptions, especially La Villa Strangiato. It's sick!
Finally, I play a little tuba and trombone.

I wanted to pick up drums too but I have no place, and they are too loud for my mom. ------------- who hiccuped endlessly trying to giggle but wound up with a sob |

| I play the triangle too! I've also been playing drums for about 25 years. Unfortunately most of the work I get is for percussion (congas etc) with singer songwriters and such, but I'm not complaining... I do need to play some prog drums!!!! |

Guitar, bass, keyboard, and vocals - all in my home recordin' studio. And when my band's drummer couldn't comprehend the 13/4 of "Starless", drums too (only basic patterns [ie surf-rock, blues, jazz, and hard rock], but in any time sig - a specialty I guess).

I can play bass guitar (not too good, but not too bad either), I'm learning to play piano (about Grade 1 or so), and I can "play" my brother's guitar (by which I mean I can play a couple intros to songs and strum about 4 chords), and I can play the drums (well I can play a very simple beat). I want to learn a wind instrument though... |

Well, I have been a guitarist since I was 11, but I CAN also play the
bass, because it's so similiar to the guitar. And then I can play some
drums, and also recorder, harmonica, piano etc... But I'm mainly a guitar player. And I wouldn't even count such instruments as triangle, claves etc. ------------- And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction the moral melee. |

i love playing multiple instruments! if i had money i would be a one man band. the instruments i actually have (and can play of course) are guitar (my first instrument; i prefer acoustic, classical that is), flute, piano, organ (hammond of course!), bass (no crap since i play guitar), drums, glockenspiel, mandolin, recorder, trumpet, harmonica. I'm trying now to get an alto sax, and i hope to get a tenor and soprano sax in the not to distant future. I also really want a violin and viola; and a cello (why not). I REALLY would love a harpsichord, and a lute. I really like woodwinds, so I'm interested in getting an oboe and bassoon to. and french and english horns would be nice. also, it would be really good to have a better hammond (mine's old and barely ever works perfectly and isn't really that good of a hammond anyway) preferably a b-3, or c-3. and a minimoog model d, and mellotron 400d. it would also be kinda cool to have a mandola and mando-cello to have like a mandolin ensemble, but i'm not into mandolin enough to do that. wow, well i guess i should get a job... |

I can play anything really. I am the most strongest in drums/percussion (9 years experience). Guitar as well, mostly rhythm though. I can learn a new instrument in matter of an hour or two. I just need to know the basics behind it.

I played clarinet at school for 3 years, and then switched to tenor saxophone(the two are very similar so it takes pretty much no time to switch) for two years and then i stopped hiring instruments and bought an alto sax which i've played fro 2 years now. I'd rather have a tenor, but altos are far cheaper. I've been trying to teach myself keyboard on and off over the past year or so, and want to take up guitar sometime. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/the_pole/">

| Play drums - any and all kinds of drums. Can also arpeggiate (sp?) chords on a keyboard - piano or otherwise. Want to learn guitar sometime, but not sure I have the time or the patience to devote to learning... |
