Who can play an instrument?

[Fuelbi]

Searched and found nothing.

Who here knows an instrument?

I know: guitar (taking lessons and getting quite better), recorder, and piano (horribly though)

How about you?

 

[Pikaville]

I've been playing guitar for 6 years now.

I can kinda play drums too.

Here's me playing along to master of puppets for anyone interested.

[Mr.Freeman]

Pfft, no. Its like the ******* child of woodwinds.

I play alto-sax, by the way, but its a hobby.

 

[Grandeza]

I play trumpet and french horn

and guitar hero

 

[Proverbs]

I'm currently learning flute :D So far I'm almost completely self-taught. I can't read music, either. I was mostly taught how to put it together, where to put my fingers, and was given a headstart on how I should try to get a sound out of it. Aside from that, I've just been playing until I figure it out. Apparently I'm pretty good for being self-taught and only been learning for a month. So yeah, I feel pretty legit. XD

 

[Luigitoilet]

It will really help you in the long run to actually sit down and learn while you're still a beginner.

 

[AlcyoNite]

Been playing flute for 10 years.

...and I get **** from the smash community for it cuz i have to miss events sometime but other than that

its a kickin *** instrument

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I consider my guitar and drums to be moreso like a hobby as well.
Vocals fit under both instrumental-wise and hobby-wise.

Piano is definitely something I picked up instrumentaly but I enjoy playing it.

[t3akup]

Drums for 10 years
Piano for 5 :]
I've played acoustic guitar but I could use work...

 

[Crimson King]

I can play guitar pretty well, and I am mastering the didgeridoo now that I learned how to circular breathe. My didge isn't a great one, but it's helping me for practice a lot.

 

[PsychopathicEmus]

oh snap you can circular breathe? legit XD. didgeridoo is such a crazy instrument. *thumbs up*

 

[Crimson King]

I learned about 3 weeks ago. The trick I used was starting with a straw and a glass of water. Once I realized there is nothing biologically impossible to it, I just started practicing. Switching to the Didge has been a bit of work, I used to be able to do a solid 2-minutes of circular breathing (in repetitions of 5 sets), but on the didge, I am lucky to get 5 consecutive cycles of breathing.

In short: Try it. You can probably do it.

What the hell is a didgeridoo?

But who trusts Wiki these days.

Hah the didgeridoo looks like such a silly instrument. No offense though

Awww lucky. A few years ago, I WAS supposed to buy a sax, but my lungs just were too little for a big instrument like that...... awwww

 

[Mota]

I used to know how to play the recorder in Primary School >_<

I think I can play the triangle.

 

[Peeze]

Guitar and bass for about 6 months. Not really good at either yet. but adequate.
me and a couple buddies making noise:

I's on teh bass.

 

[BSP]

I've been playing trombone since the sixth grade...

I wouldn't switch to it in a school band unless you like getting background parts and holding long (and high) notes 90% of the time :/

 

[Crimson King]

The instrument, as the wiki states, is the oldest wind instrument. Also, if you practice circular breathing with it, you can solve all problems of snoring and sleep apnea, both of which I suffer from. So, it's been a great instrument to play.

 

[Neutral]

I play general percussion and I've played the violin for 4 years... I don't think I've read about anyone playing strings on this thread yet, besides guitar...

 

[GoldShadow]

I picked up the guitar about 2 months ago. Mostly teaching myself and using books and youtube and asking friends and people for help. I'm learning music theory at the same time too. It's been very rewarding so far!

 

[AlexoftheAura]

I've played clarinet for 7 years and worked on alto sax for about 1 month before I realized I hated it.

I forgot to say I know a bit of banjo

 

[SuperBowser]

I play piano. I don't do lessons anymore, but still find random pieces and learn them when I feel like it. Reached grade 7 before I stopped lessons, but I have no idea what level I am now... I just play for fun these days. Currently learning raindrops by Chopin

I also tried out the guitar a couple of years ago. My housemate had it with some intro books and a grade 1 book. I got to the end of the book and was decent enough at sightreading (playing the piano for so many years made this easy I guess) but stopped after a couple of months. I guess I just wanted to try out how hard the guitar was than to actually play it . I've kinda forgotten how to play anything on a guitar now.

I always wanted to play the cello. Maybe when I'm older and have no job...

 

[Fuelbi]

I remember I was gonna play flute years ago. My uncle was gonna give it to me, but someone came to his house and took stuff out of it.... the flute was stolen... I was heartbroken, but I was touched he would actually give it to me

 

[Geist]

I made a bit of a hobby of guitar, and for some reason I can play piano well.
And I would like to say drums, only I would be lying.
