rd7 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Do you play a musical instrument? If so, which one and for how long? Feel free to talk about your instrument(s) and why you love it if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeilynLocke Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 While I was in K-12 I played the Viola from 3rd grade until I graduated HS. I honestly love classical music when I'm feeling lost or confused. It's an amazing way to re-center oneself. Even though I was a miserably bad player. I picked up Guitar in the 11th grade and I find it really fun to do once in a while. I try to learn songs I played on the Viola on the guitar and often succeed at getting some of the melodies down. I found a way to transcribe the music I've learned onto multiple instruments by mostly using the tones of the notes. I'm far from perfect at it though. I learned how to read all three clefs used in the basic setup of Orchestra's I've been in. I can read treble clef: guitar/piano/violin, alto clef: viola, bass clef: Cello/Upright Bass/Piano. I love all of the theory courses I took in the time from when I was 16 until I was 20. Not many, but I learned alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniMeFReaK Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I can more-or-less play the piano, along with the guitar and the melodica. I started playing the melodica at the age of five, then progressed a bit and started playing the piano at ten. I have also been playing the guitar for about three years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to talk about your instrument(s) and why you love it if you wish. nope, never played one before, and i dont understand the notes they do, even when it was thought to us in grade school but i do like guitars, the way guitarists play and make some sound is, nice (unsure if vocalists are counted as a "musical instrument", i feel its not..as its a human being, so im going with "guitars") i liked guitars as far as i started liking JP songs (which is...like 7 years ago or so ?, i wasn't into music before xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leinwandname Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Used to play Flute as a child, now playing the Violin since I was 9 - although, I haven't played much the last 6 months ... was a lazy summer and didn't have the time before (just like now). Really, the feeling of playing it just satisfying, the smell of rosin on your bow and the feeling just getting the sound right after you've practised a hard piece for some time is what I like the most. Ofc, the sound too, but I like the sound of a piano more, honestly, but playing the piano felt kinda weird when I tried it once.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geano Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I have been told by many including some voice teachers in school that I can carry a tone well so I am in no way tone def. Though the only instrument for music I have ever played is the harmonica. So nothing to be to proud of really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAO LILDOOP Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Working on learning Piano. I intend to practice a lot this winter (If my hands don't go numb from cold, lol); piano is my favorite instrument, it sounds beautiful. Once I finish learning Piano, I wish to learn how to play the Violin, because that is my second favorite instrument ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I do not play a musical instrutment however I admire and respect those that do, I wish I could play the guitar or the drums if I had the time but these days I'm pretty busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I used to play the piano, but haven't in years. Last time I tried I found out my hands & fingers aren't nearly as flexible as they used to be (had to cheat a bit with some of the reaches) Edited November 16, 2018 by Ohiotaku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love piano music, or even covers with a piano. Far as cheating at the music goes I say long as it sounds good then thats what matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played keyboard in a while, should really pick that up again. Edited July 29, 2019 by dirudiru 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineTear Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I used to play the piano and was pretty decent. Then at some point I ended up with a piano instructor who completely took all of the joy out of it for me. Ultimately I got burnt out and just stopped. I could also play clarinet, but never loved it like I did the piano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 i played as a first chair trombone for four years throughout school, but two years ago i bought an electric guitar i haggled down in price from a creepy old guy at a festival. recently replaced its strings with power slinkys im getting kind of good at it, but i wish i could afford some effect pedals. you just dont get that professional oomf in a guitar without them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a wah pedal, but really want something like a delay and a chorus. Also a distortion pedal, to get that extra oomf you mentioned. The gain in the amps is nice, but I want to get a little extra 'bite'. What is the guitar you got? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 @cowboy @dirudiru I recently bought a distortion pedal from a local music shop for roughly $100, so they aren't too terribly priced. There's always online used products too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
