Instruments

Does anyone play a musical instrument or have done in the past? If so what was it and did you enjoy it?

I won't go as far as saying I can really play it but I starting learning Bass guitar a couple of years ago. Took a while to get the hang of it but its worth it in the end.

I often play with my instrument.

I am not bad with a Jews Harp.

Give it back to him you thieving bugger.

i play the bass as well, have done for years but have never had lessons. Just picked up bits and pieces from teaching books and just playing by ear.

I keep meaning to properly learn one day but think my days as a rock star have gone forever!

Im a half decent Guitarist, I have 3 of them, 2 acoustic ones and an electric.

I just Kinda taught myself over the years, I can play at a half decent level now but have not got a clue how to read music, I use the chord sheets

I play the Piano, and Drum's used to be in a small band yrs ago.

I play with my organ most nights.

Yes i've played guitar since i was about 13.

I don't actually enjoy playing it and it really is one of the most boring instruments to play.

I've tried learning Piano 3 times in my life and every time I've given up sadly. I will learn one day though.

I can squeeze a few tunes out on a guitar.

Hipster, I was informed many years ago that to play the piano can generally lead to you being able to play almost any other instrument. The person that told me was my Grandad, needles to say he was a multi instrumentalist! They did have time on their hands in those days and he could read music like a book!!

For some reason when i play Piano i just cannot co-ordinate my hands, something that i find very easy on guitar.

It's a great instrument though, maybe the best, i'd love to play.

Haha why do you still play then??

I'm a guitarist and used to think I was passable until my second son came along and showed me what I could have done if I'd stuck at it instead of parking it in the corner of the room for years on end. By 13 he could play Joe Satriani's entire set, and could rock it with the best of them but he went to Uni to study music and production, became a total "muso" and got into modern prog rock e.g. Dream Theatre. Now in his late 20s he's still a great guitarist who can play anything, but his preference is for twiddly tunes that are technically brilliant but boring as f***. Slightly disappointed he hasn't used his talent more commercially.

I own a harmonica, but I'm waiting for the cops to catch up with me and put me inside. Then I'll learn to play it. Dad bought me a violin, but the strings disappeared overnight. 
I'm more a listener than a player. I believe Breadman has a rather fine guitar.

I guess you can play the Banjo!  Here's a little clip I found of you and Breadman duelling

I was much younger then. Farnworth was a pickers paradise.

Piano and Keyboards and church organ.
