I play guitar.

I am between jobs right now, bored to death, and SWMBO wants me to start playing guitar again. I gave it up 5+ years ago. I got tired of all of the drama in the group I was playing with at the time. So, just to keep peace in the family, I went to the closet, to pull out a guitar. I was shocked to discover I have 6 of them.:omg: I recently gave a Strat made in Mexico to a friend of mine as well! Only 1 pick between all of them my, amplifier has disappeared. I have forgotten all of the songs that I used to play. :confused: Do any of you out there play a musical instrument, and if so what kind. If musicians ruled the world it would a much more harmonious place!

When I was a kid, I used to play the piano. I was never much good at it, and stopped as soon as my mother let me. Today I play on a different keyboard. :)

Like Daniel, I took piano lessons as a child. I didn't want to do the hard work to develop my skills. I was a mediocre trumpet player in school band and now I have an acoustic guitar that I occasionally strum - not well enough to consider myself a musician.

I used to play a trombone from grade school through college then stopped, as a job in that field did not seem lucrative enough. I took up the guitar a couple of years ago (past the age of 50), easily the most difficult hobby I've undertaken. It's hard to express how much I suck at said instrument, yet I soldier on. I must be a glutton for punishment.

I used to play keyboards, mostly piano, at a competent level. Classical stuff, transcriptions I did of fragments of Sibelius symphonies, ELP. But that was years ago. It was my ex's piano, work got very interesting, the internet happened...I sometimes think about getting back to it, but there are too many distractions and I doubt that I'd have the patience.

I play no instrument, but I have a very good ear / hear for music, to the point that I can say if / when / who has an error in live music or in the mix of a dj. My wife plays (or has played... since no time for it now) piano, violin and saxophon.

I learned piano at an early age by listening to songs and just picking out the notes. I took lessons for a few years, but I found them boring...I just wanted to play what I heard, not what was written out on a piece of paper so I never really learned to read music properly...just enough to hear how it sounded, then I didn't need the paper anymore! :laugh: I played trombone and baritone in elementary/jr. high band but found it boring as well...learn this sheet music and don't improvise. :sigh: In high school, a group of friends started a band and needed a synth/keyboard for some songs. I somehow got credit and got a state of the art Korg DW 8000 and an amp and joined in the fun. That last for a few years until I went off to college where I played bass and keyboards in a few different cover bands that never achieved more than a local following. As far back as I can remember my brain has always focused on bass lines. If I hummed a song, it was usually the bass line, maybe because as a kid, my grandmother taught me to sing the bass lines from the hymnals. As I got older, I started hearing more intesting music and gravitated toward bands/music where the bass is more than just a background instrument...Rush, Iron Maiden, and Yes are probably the most influential for me (in the late 70s, early 80s) though many other classics such as Zepellin, The Who, and the Beatles deserve mention. The first two things I learned on bass were Tom Sawyer and Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. :) I've got a 4 string Fender and a 5 string Gibson, both collecting dust, sitting behind me in my home/office. There is also a 300W amp on top of a 4x10 speaker cabinet to my left, also collecting dust. In the old days, one of the guitarists I played with in college would stop in and jam for hours, but really there's only so much you can do without drums. He went off the grid about 8 years ago and I'm actually not that interested in hauling stuff around or playing in a group anymore. I've also got a fantastic digital piano that my grandmother left me. Unfortunately, it's located in the living room (like a piece of furniture!) which is in the same room as the TV, so there's no competing with that. I'll play it when company insists or rarely when the wife is absent. Nowadays, my current morning ritual consists of coffee, worldle, news, and playing bass on an old Ibanez acoustic guitar to whatever is playing through the little Bose radio in the kitchen...this morning it was Beatles, yesterday is was Neal Morse, most of the time (if she
