Any musicians in the house?

[DreadFish]

So are there any musicians here on RF? If so, what instrument/s do you play, and what kind of music do you play?


I play bass and guitar mainly. I can also play drums (though nothing fancy ) and I like to sing on occasion. I have also recently (the last couple of days) aspired to learn to play an old trumpet I had laying around.

I play in a rock band, but I also like to play blues and I dream of some day playing bass in a small jazz group.

So, who else here plays? Id love to start a musicians thread here that we can talk about playing and share stuff.

I play guitar and a little bass and keyboards. I like to play bluesy rock and praise and worship. I don't play as much as I did when I was younger, but I'd like to get back to playing in church again one day.

I play a mean triangle.

Used to play lead guitar in a reggae band. Now I tend to be content with strumming on an acoustic. Also play bodhran and the frame drum.

I kinda play the piano, and I sing. And omg do I sing.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I play classical piano. I'd like to get into jazz more as well.

Oh - and I'm trying to learn the harmonica on my own - it's not going particularly well.

So, has anybody played with a group before? Its very fun, and the best way to become skilled at your instrument.

I can sing and have always had a desire to sing with a band, though I've never had the pleasure to hang with musicians.

I prefer to rock out, though my voice is best suited for more mellow tunes.

Yeah I had a really tough time finding other musicians for a long while. I was lucky enough to accompany a friend to a band audition that she found on craigslist. I went because shes a girl going to a guys house she met on the internet and it was night . But it turns out, they liked her, but didnt feel she would fit in the band and, at some point that night I had picked up the bass and played a bit, and they liked how I sounded so I got the part

I was very lucky, I didnt even want to accompany her that night, I was tired and irritable, but now they are my band family and I love playing music with them. I am very thankful.

We are supposed to have a spot on a local talk show coming up on the 19th. We should get a copy of the recording, so I should be able to share our music on the internet soon.

That would be cool. And I wish you lots of success.

I do covers for my boyfriend and sing to my children and that's about it...

Thanks I will definitely share it on here once we have digital copies of our music.

Do you used preloaded loops or record right into the computer? Both are fun actually.

What does that mean?

haha, same here, only it's renoise for me

I had to learn the recorder in school though, and I think I would still be able to play "la cucaracha", but that's about it ^^

Three of us would get together and do Simon and Garfunkel stuff.
I could...in the day...hit those high notes.

Nowadays, I've developed some fingerpicking that I should record.
Too bad I can't write it down.
It would be difficult even if I knew how.
Too many subtleties.

Yeah, I want to learn how to read and write music again. I knew when I was little when I took piano, but I have all but lost it. It's amazing to think that some people can read and write music like they do English (or their native language).
