[Princess]

I used to play the piano although I wasn't very good and couldn't be bothered to practice all that much - which is probably why I wasn't very good. But I am going to buy my boyfriend an electric guitar (probably used) for Christmas so I will probably learn along with him.

[loveisnotenough]

I believe I have already participated in a thread such as this before but what the heck, I like to talk about instuments so here goes:

Flute - on and off for about 10 years. I don't know what kind I have cause I stole an old one from my junior high school when they got new

instruments.

Piano - on and off for the same amount of time as above. I only took lessons for a year and then quit cause I don't like playing the songs in those lesson books. They're boring! Now I play when I'm writing songs.

Guitar - I started when I was 13, then stopped because I was too busy with dancing, then started again when I moved away to go to college. I just got a new acoustic-electric. Its an Ibanez Talman but I don't have an amp yet so I just play it acoustic.

[Zanni]

I play guitar and have on and off for almost two years (but it doesn't really show) I've got a Fender Strat and a little Peavey amp...Blazer 158. I also have an old Epiphone acoustic.

[ok_go_570]

ive been playing guitar for almost 2 years now

 

 

and thats it

 

 

i have a crappy acoustic guitar...and a crappy electric

 

(there not really crappy there just realy cheap...and on my acoustic the 11th fret dosent work (and that sucks balls))

[insane_child]

i used to play the cello... but, dumbass me stopped and forgot it all....

 

now all i can play is an egg shaker.

 

and i can keep a beat on the drums.

Nothing wrong with being a band geek. I practise my trumpet about 90 minutes a day, and just look how sexy I am!

I can make fart noises with my hands.

That takes talent. Most people can't.

[unspoken]

I've played drums for 11 years, guitar for 6 and bass for 3. Keyboard/Piano is next on the list to learn.

[Cheap&See-through]

Guitar for only 1 and a half yr. Got it as a graduation present and can't put it down! In another year or so when I feel like I have a solid grasp on the guitar, I want to pick up a nice electric.

 

Playing a 'Norman' accoustic. Hand made full wood body.

 

 

I love learning anything. Play a lot of matt good, coldplay, and anything i feel like pulling up some tab on and learning!
