I play el-guitar, just plain white....oh yeah, I also play keyboard and piano...:lowlife: :paperbag:

My songs

Hi, I'm a dj composer, I use pc programs for my music production, and have been doing it since my 12 years (started at ejay productions) I also play drums and had some piano lessons long ago, I hope u like the music, take care

M.z.K.

I play the piano, looks alittle like this one, just not so shiny.

I like to play music from games and anime

Darn, I missed the cello discussion, but that's what i play. In a very high up orchestra too i might add.(for my age and experience)

Aside from classical music, i play nearly all music i can find in games.

Long time back, but yes Dantrag Ibanez's have disgusting bridges.

Mine is now so far out of the socket the whammy bar cannot go down half a semitone without hitting the body.

Slap Bass for one band, Vocalist for another...

Im a good old drummer been playing quite a while and love it, a way to express myself, getting a new kit soon

I torture neighbouring cats and dogs on the saxophone, two of them



Slightly bigger picture
And with my fair hands to give a sense of scale, this

My Alto is Jupiter, played it for a couple of years longer than my Soprano, which is Trevor James

<3 soprano saxes

I FINALLY got myself a base, I had the opportunity to buy a cheap one from my friends little brother.

It's black, sounds lovely... and I even named it Frank

I have no idea how the bass should be played really, I just hear something nice and play it.

Maybe I should take some lessons?

How did you guys learn to play your instrument?

First off, you might want to spell bass right (the first time you spelled it base). And btw about the orchestra post a while ago, I play in a high orchestra too and am auditioning for a better one

So, no brass players so far.

Rainer has played the Tuba for 5 years.

He also plays Baritone and Valve Trombone

Uhh, Fafsa, that was quite mean.

I personally learned from my great instructor of many years, who teaches guitar, bass and saxaphone. Most bass and electric guitar teachers use a technique nowadays that I like to call "actually teaching". The principle of the technique is that they will teach you a few songs that test your fingers (though most people are ready enough to skip that step), then they will teach you how to read tabs and then teach you any song you want to learn.

And Rainer, I've been playing (and loving) Trombone for a few years now and can play many songs on both Baritone and Tuba.

Just noticed this thread.

I've been a singer for many years, but now that I've reached 36 and no record deal it's starting to get long between each gig.

When I first started we had a band who did ok in our town and got good reviews on national radio. Since we didn't have a manager and none of us were very administrative we didn't get much further than that.

My 'highlight' (commercially speaking) was participation in a national TV show called "Stjerner i sikte" (English: "Look to the stars") in 1997, where I performed "A view to a kill" by Duran Duran. I participated in that mostly to please my mother, as the concept of trying to sing and act like other artists appalled me.

After that I got pretty much rejected by other musicians, since I had 'sold myself' in that TV show. So now I'm mostly doing ordinary work and sing from time to time at parties/weddings etc...

That's really ignorant for someone to think that you sold out. Nothing wrong with singing other people's stuff.

in my absence i have picked up an electric guitar. i've taken lessons from a nice instructor, who seems to teach differently than other guitar teachers...

anyway, my guitar looks EXACTLY like this:

A strat? Cool, cool...but you cant really shred on a strat.

Next step, Ibanez. or EPS

I know, and the musicians in this town are generally quite judgmental and arrogant, although there are certainly exceptions.

But we (almost the same gang as our original band) actually made a living of playing cover music for several years. We were 'house band' for 2 clubs, and it was always packed full.

We started a trend here, I think I can say. Since we started playing, the town got swamped with cover bands of various quality, each fighting for gigs.

Even now after several years since we stopped playing regularly I'm still being stopped on the street by people saying stuff like 'Hey, you were the singer in the Garagen house band! That was the best time of my life!'. Compliments like that still makes me very happy...

indeed... shred...

i know it looks like a strat, but the neck says johnson lol
yeah i dont get it

Edit:

just saw this post, i've been wanting to learn how to lay the saxophone, a lot of the music i listen to has some nice solos but i'll stick with the guitar for now.
