[BSM1]

I tried to play Foxy Lady by Hendrix this morning...I am not sure how much i actually sounded like FOxy Lady...buy it did sound cool.... I shall have to try more Hendrix songs. Thanks for the idea.

My pleasure.

How long did it take you to get a handle on that Audacity program? I still struggling with it for a year now. I must be doing something wrong.

Not long at all (though Ableton, I'm still learning new stuff about it even 2 years later). What kind of problems are you having... and is it Mac/PC?

At school I was given cello lessons but eventually I stopped that and taught myself guitar.

Anglo concertina, bodhran, bass guitar, melodeon. (I did try tenor banjo a few years ago, but Mr.Gibson heard me play, came up on stage with me, personally scratched his name off my banjos machine-head and threatened to break all my fingers if I carried on!)

Ooh, concertina! I love those. The only player I know lives twelve hours away by car, plus a two hour ferry ride.

I play bass, I'm trying to learn the taus (a bowed Indian string instrument) and I want to take up the viola da gamba.

 

[Sand Dancer]

I have learned piano, clarinet, guitar and oboe but haven't picked up any of them in years. I did pick up a guitar book and cd in order to get better but it's been sitting there for two years now.

Guitar (mostly acoustic), some hammered dulcimer. I am starting to lust after a hang drum.

I would love to learn the hammered dulcimer. I love the Christian artist, Rich Mullins. He played that and others. Is it hard to find one and hard to learn?

 

[Adramelek]

I am a musician and composer. I play both the piano and keyboard and the guitar, and bass guitar. I've had 8 years of formal training in melodic and compositional theory and classical piano technique. I am self-taught on the guitar and have been playing it since I was about 15 years old. I have been a member of 2 bands and am currently working on a black metal project.

Xeper.

Not that hard to find or play (stay with the chromatic instruments), but keeping the dang thing in tune can be challenging.

My most recent instrument I've taken up is the didgeridoo. I love it, with the circular breathing and various percussive sounds! My other main instruments I play are: piano, guitar, trombone. I'm trying to pick up the flute right now, but have yet to get the correct control of my embouchure to get a decent sound. Too breathy at the moment. I also have and play Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, a wind gong, and various and sundry percussion instruments. I don't really play other's music, but create my own.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I play the trumpet and drums

This is my first Didge, or at least a picture of it from a website

Is it fiberglass? My first one was fiberglass as well, and was good to learn the basics on. I still find it has a lot to say, but could also see I was hitting its limitations. So I got a termite-hollowed out eucalyptus didge that came from Australia. Really great artwork on it too!

Here's the specific one I just got. That's not me playing it in the video. He's just doing a demo with the one that's now mine. Once I got it and spent some time with it, it's incredible what you can do with it. It's harmonic layer is as loud as the drone, and does this really incredible harmonic-phasing sound, which when you layer vocals into it is amazing. Really puts the mind out there.

Cool

That was my first one and it is not wood, my second one is also not wood, it's a slider so I can change keys.

Use to play a wood one, it was not mine, and it was awesome, but it was expensive.

One of these days I will get me one of those

I can play the piano, but only like an inexperienced child, as that was the last time i had a chance to play extensively. Not that i can't play a lot of tunes, i can actually play any tune i like and figure out how to without assistance, but my playing is mostly relying on one hand while the other is doing considerably less.

I used to love playing Fur Elise and some other favorites everyday, as well as exercise trying to successfully play a new tune without any assistance or pointers, but that was long ago. I'm looking forward to doing that again.

 

[Nerthus]

Violin, a little piano, a little banjo and the didge.

 

[Vinayaka]

I don't play any at the moment, but I do want to learn percussion (drums, bongos, tamborines, etc.) and perhaps the Sitar or Shruti box.

How about you?

I wish I could play nadaswaram. [youtube]ScdgBy5rm90[/youtube]
