What other Instraments do you play?
« on: May 25, 2008, 08:10:26 PM »
Hi, I’m Ken and I’m new here.  :)

So I was wondering what other instruments do you out there play apart form guitar.

I come from a very musical family and I play piano/keyboard and a bit of saxophone, and the harmonica (but not very well)

Welcome to the forum Ken - I'm sure you'll love it, I know I do.

As far as instruments go I only play guitar - I really couldn't afford to get into another instrument!
I think I hate being indecisive.

I don;t play them as much as I used to (mostly as I can;t get all my stuff in a flat) but I used to gig a great deal playing Digiredoo, djembe, bougarabou, ashiko, conga etc

NB. I can actually play these things, I'm not just a middle class kid that went to Glastonbury once and got carried away with being "cultured"  :P

Asides from guitar I play Bouzouki (Tuned G'DAE, which I call 'Australian tuning'.). It's like a bass mandola but with a different scale length. I tune mine differently though (in 5ths).

I can also do some synthesizer/sequencer stuff providing my performance is cleaned up in a midi programme such as cubase and I have a good bank of sounds.

I can sing too but I'm not overly confident in my voice.

I can play tambourine and various bits of hand percussion but I chose not to as I'm not an octopus and what with playing the guitar that becomes somewhat inhibitive.
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Just guitar and bass for me. Bass is my best instrument and where I am most at home but I play guitar in the band I am in. I do sing too and have got better over the years.

My main instrument is actually my voice, but my secondary is Guitar. I also play Bass, some keys, a tiny teensy bit of drums and I also dabble in anything else I can get my hands on.

I have been known to be fairly good at Violin, Cello, Double Bass, Bugle, Trumpet and a couple of others when I first picked them up at college. That means I've been able to hold a tune first time around on all these things in little jam sessions. If a mic or Guitar weren't laying around then I would pick up the nearest thing in the music department and give it a shot, sometimes with pleasantly surprising results, lol.  :lol:

bass, atari, synthesiser, record decks (if they can be called an instrument)

I can play drums but only basic stuff. I want to learn bass but I find it really hard compared to normal guitar :(

I used to be play piano but I stopped because it was boring :\
