Are there any more musicians on this forum than me?
If You are a musician, write about Yourself! Which instruments do You play? Do You play in any bands? Have You recorded anything? Are You by chance Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden (I guess not)?
Go ahead and write!

You just keep playing, and You'll see You get better.  I realized I forgot myself, so here we go: I started taking piano lessons the year I turned 10 and quit the year I turned 13, which makes it four years of piano school, I guess. Then I've kept playing on and off. I started playing guitar the year I turned 16, and took some private lessons over summer, at the same time I bought my first electric guitar. I started playing drums and bass guitar last winter, and haven't had any lessons of any of them. Right now I'm mainly a bass player (when I don't sing), and I really starting to get the hang of it now, I've started playing some slap bass (jazz, funk, etc.), and it's really funny! Bass is an underrated instrument! |

um...I used to play a bit keyboard and guitar but never did this seriously...I guess I can improvise pretty well on most instruments I can get my handy on but I somehow never started to have any lessons...some years ago I started a band with some class-mates, so I did even try out singing for about half a year...but they were rather into punk and grunge and I wanted to do some more metal-like stuff (in terms of singing I might rather do well with gothic rock or prog-metal than anything else^^) so this didn't work out...since then (that was back in 2001 or so) I didn't find any time or people to start something new so I'm back to normal music-listener and happy with it but doing this singing thing once again...maybe even with taking lessons...yeah, if I had the time for this I would really like to give it another try... |

I played piano for six years or something, but that's ages ago and I forgot most of it.. Quite a pity I quit maybe, but I just didn't like it anymore..
I'd really like to play bass guitar.. but I just don't have anyone to learn it from, and I'm not going to take lessons or anything ^^

I wanted to learn bass too, but when I saw how I sucked at guitar I forgot about it ;D

If You really do suck at guitar, You really should try bass guitar, I did when I realized I couldn't get the right techniques with the guitar pick as fast as I wanted. And then with a bass, it was like "Yay, I can use my fingers and not that stupid pick, hooray."
@coral: I think that if You just sit down and play the piano once in a while, and learn songs You want to learn, not that Your teacher want You to know, then I think You will remember most of what You learned. And if You play the kind of music You like, You'll realize it's fun.

I've been playing the trumpet for roughly 5 1/2 years, and I love that instrument. Also, about 1 1/2 years ago, I picked up an acoustic guitar from my uncle and started playing around a little... I've been teaching myself since then, mainly just gradually playing harder and harder stuff, but also by looking at some technique excercises. I'd love to pick up a Bass or an electric guitar some day as well... And I could say I play the piano... a little... most of that's just doodling around on the piano my sister plays on. |
