Anyone here a musician?

Just wonderin if anyone here shares the interest of actively participating music with me. it can be playing an instrument or singing, heck composing even

.

Myself, I've been involved in a music a lot. I've been singing since I remember. Took piano lessons (which I didn't care for) till I was about 10, then dropped that, played clarinet during grade school (absolutely hated that), and now for the I am now playing my instrument of choice, the guitar. I play both acoustic and electric, and I think it's been almost two years since I started.

It's amazing how you can play an instrument for so long and still learn tons of new stuff on a constant basis. For me with guitar it was bar chords. For the longest time I couldn't do it, but after a while practicing I finally got it down. It opened up a whole new can of worms.

For me I think music is a great way to relieve stress. Also it gives me a creative outlet for all the crazy thoughts that run rampant in my brain

I like to hear other people's stories about their own musical backgrounds. Anyone got any stories or histories for me to hear about?

P.S. Sorry if this topic has been done before

It has been talked about quite a bit.

Clarinet Family (B flat, E flat, Bass, Contra-bass)
Saxaphone (Alto mainly)
FLute (absolutly failed at this one)
Piano (Too complicated)

I have a very long history with music... wanted to lean to play the piano but I was too old when I had the first chance to start going to classes, so in that field I am an amateur (learned some things on my own and that's all). Then I went for guitar lessons (acoustic of course) even started a band

and we were great but too young and unorganized

Other then that I love to sing (and that is my main quallity, ask Chet

). I started singing as soon as I started talking

even recorded songs at the age of 10 and 12, went to some festivals... had performances since... and I'm in a band again

but we're not serious... playing just for our enjoyment... and... yeah, even took singing classes when I was little... that's all I can remember, but it is a very short version... and I don't like braging so I'm stoping here

I play the electric bass.

I also have a drum called a Mother Jimbe which is a quite large african bass drum for cerimonial purposes.

I think classical guitar sounds pretty cool.

It has that sorta mystic sound to it. And I bet the nylon strings are way easier on the fingers

Been playing electric guitar for about 6 months now, played drums since I was born pretty much. I'm in a half-band, I do guitar and a friend does drums. We're pressuring another person to get an electric violin so then we could be like Yellowcard (If any of you know of them, excellent rock band with a violin as a lead instrument).

Christmas, is that a BF1942 mod or something?

mystic sound o.O nylong strings indeed are easy on the fingers but a classmate brought a guitar to school, she'd restrung it with brass strings all through. it was incredibly easy on my fingers as well. not the super sharp acousitic type, but as easy as classical. sounded great too iirc.

Soprano and Alto Saxophones
Clarinet and flute

My favorite stuff to do is small ensemble work, which at this time is thankfully part of our school curriculum.

The entire Saxophone family
Some clarinet (I suck)
and bass
you wanna play 2 C's above staff in a saxophone (alto)
just go "all open"
where you press down
all three of those keys down by the "D" row
the horseshoe key, and that key under it and under it
the G Sharp key and it barely even plays then

basic keyboarding

and

any guitar.

It is my theory that a guy who can play guitar is 40% more likely to score with a girl.
