Does anybody here play a Musical Instrument?

t4r.

Elai · July 30, 2015, 04:30:52 AM

Yeah.

Jono · July 30, 2015, 04:31:26 AM

I played the trumpet from 5th-6th grade. I liked it at first but I grew to hate it and my band teacher was batshit insane.

So I quit.

Elai · July 30, 2015, 04:35:33 AM

It seems most music teachers are whackjobs. In my experience, at least.

I did orchestral percussion for years back in grade school. Around the 8th grade I picked up a bass guitar and have been going hard at that ever since.
I'm able to look like I know what I'm doing with an electric guitar... blues scales and power chords impress more people than you'd think, lol.
I picked up a drum set the other week though. It's been fun getting used to that. My arms remembered everything pretty quick but my feet have no fucking clue what they're doing.

I used to play the viola. I stopped though.

I can play nose flute and jew's harp (why is it called that in English?) but that isn't really hard. If you can whistle on tune you can play those instruments, as you form the notes with your mouth.

I can play the piano, although it's pretty rough because I literally never practice.
I won't play if there are other people in the same building, so with a large family you can imagine how infrequently the house is empty. Bit of a shame and I never bothered to properly study the sheet music, I was at one point but gave up because I'd never be practicing anyway.

It also didn't help when I learned that the two types of piano sound notably different and the things I wanted to play sound 10x better on a grand as opposed to a standing piano <_<

I also wasted about two years 'learning' to play the saxophone, but that was literally just to get out of maths lessons. When I was also 'learning' to play the drums several years earlier it was for the same reason <_____<

Cheat · July 30, 2015, 10:48:02 AM

Alto Saxophone (I feel like this has already been a thread).

The Lord Ruler · July 30, 2015, 12:02:16 PM

piano, mallets, and drums.

nosejob · July 30, 2015, 12:14:17 PM

Alto sax and I'm slowly learning drums

Thun · July 30, 2015, 12:15:58 PM

teh drums, never got good though since I started way late and without instruction.

T6 · July 30, 2015, 12:19:51 PM

The triangle.

RadicalClass32 · July 30, 2015, 01:14:07 PM

I play piano.

It took me a week to master it. I get the "special treatment" because I'm one of the only 5 people in my grade who participate in piano class.

Spoiler

I'm literally a scrub.

Tyger · July 30, 2015, 01:39:51 PM

I some pretty dope tracks on garage band in middle school, homie

Epsira · July 30, 2015, 03:10:10 PM

Currently I'm not doing anything with music (besides singing to myself).
I've played the Ocarina, Clarinet, and Alto Saxophone.
I have the most experience with the Clarinet (8 years). I don't like playing it anymore.
I think I've had the most fun with the Ocarina (a triple Ocarina, concert pitch). I really liked the Alto, too.

And technically, the recorder. But everyone plays the recorder at some point... right?

big sponge · July 30, 2015, 03:18:51 PM

I use to play the piano.

but my feet have no fucking clue what they're doing.

Footwork is where it fucks up. Easily the most tiring part of drumming.

🍁 Aria 🔮 · July 30, 2015, 03:30:25 PM

I'm okay at guitar, passable at bass, good with drums, and a terrible saxophone player.

Naru · July 30, 2015, 03:35:00 PM

no lol

The only instrument I played was maybe a triangle and some cymbals (is that how you spell it?)

Verbatim · July 30, 2015, 03:37:58 PM

no

i used to be able to sing decently well

My left foot is like, "no, fuck you, I ain't doin shit" and my right foot is hard to move on an independent rhythm and still thinks it's playing a wah pedal instead of a bass kick.
It's getting better though... frustrating but fun.

Girl of Mystery · July 30, 2015, 03:43:10 PM

thank mr skeltal

Ren · July 30, 2015, 10:10:46 PM

I played cello for like 8 years. I'm learning guitar right now and i want to start keyboard soon. I played drums for about a year but i couldn't continue.
