what instruments do you guys play..if any???

[8ball]

Not really started on the violin yet, should arrive in a couple of weeks, getting it for my birthday, so will let you know how that goes.

Haha - it will sound bad for a lot longer than guitar sounds bad when you start playing.

After a while it will sound good to you but still sound bad to everyone around you

 

[skunkboy69]

I remember reading about Brian May from Queen recording a harp sequence.It took about 2 days because people kept opening the door and the temperature change would kick it out of tune.It's a beautiful instrument but it looks like really hard work.

 

[snouty warthog]

balalaika... nose flute... jews harp... and that thing that goes pyoyoyoyoing... like when someone in a radio comedy is having a funny turn...

oh, and I am also a master of trouser trumpet...!

 

[snouty warthog]

this is a nice link I enjoy jamming along to on the guitar or singing... it's a tambouri drone in C... if you open it in WMP you can get it to repeat indefinitely...

drone

 

[MooChild]

Guitar and a bit of mandolin. Would like to play the piano and/or the violin.

 

[joevsimp]

Fong, are you gonna have proper lesson or teach yourself?

[Jim2k5]

got my Grade 6 in Classical Saxaphone but i aint picked it up for at least 2 years... wouldnt mind starting again but with work and uni at the moment, not an option.

 

[boohoo]

I play guitar. I can play the flute and I have played the steel drums!!

Well probably teach myself.

I am training to be a music 'educator' so figured maybe learning another instrument might be useful.

I think I might have to meet someone who plays at some point tho, just so that they can point out where i am going wrong. Not so much a lesson, as saying, dude don't do that, do it like this.

 

[radiohead]

bass, drums, guitar, vocals

if there were four of me i would be a band

that would be cool

 

[Fong]

I used to play along to their album, also played along to Metallica Black album. Can still play a few of the Metallica acoustic parts, like intro to Nothing Else Matters and Unforgiven.

The only song I really can still play along to tho is Megadeth Hanger 18. That tune I use for warming up as its got some excellent parts in it. The rest I forgotten.

I used to play a lot of Corrosion of Conformity and Korn and such as well, but those bands have 7 string guitars or tune down so damn far, it knackers your guitar if you constantly going back and forth. So I tend to stick to stuff in 'normal' tuning now.

That's why they invented 4 track recording devices dude!

Get a tascam, or record into your PC and be a band.

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Used to play Bass.

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Used to play classical guitar, had a decent voice at one point too (got paid small sums of money for it upon occasion). Might pick up the electric guitar some time.

funny you should say that; i have a tascam four-track

 

[Fong]

I have a portastudio too, sitting here on my desk, but I use the PC and a Cubase version now.

I do kind of miss the old 4 track recording tho.

Now you can play a single bar of something and just repeat it, then stick in different bars for chorus and mid eight however you feel.

With the old tascam you had to play the entire song, all bars, all changes, all the way through without fucking it up, I definately think as a practise tool it was far better then hard disk recording.

 

[radiohead]

MF-P01 is mine; is that what yours is?

the thing that annoys me about it is that i need to record vocals/guitar at the same time to get it 'right'; but there's only one input.. using a splitter doesn't work well because you can't EQ the thing. i need a mixing desk really, and i guess i'll move onto cubase/pc recording then. i do love the purity of analog recordings though

No mine is the Porta Ministudio 07. Has 4 inputs, 2 mic inputs two instrument/line inputs.

I also have a mixing desk it's only 8 channel, but it's still handy thing to have when there are more instruments/vocals then just 4.

I recorded a version of Radiohead's Street Spirit (Fade Out) on it with a female vocalist. I wanted to do the opposite of what you did, but have forgotten how to record one input and not another been so long since I used it. Here if you interested in hearing how it came out.

 

[ToHellWeRide]

I (Like many others) play guitar...I don't play it well..but then again I havn't been playing that long, still plently of time for improvement. I play drums on and off...mostly off at the moment as I had to take my drum kit apart until I can get some spare parts

 

[The Groke]

blimey you must have some musical talent!!!

Either that, or she is just full of hot air....





I have just started teaching myself to play acoustic guitar.

I can now play Kumbyah.

It is my new favourite song.

 

[sojourner]

Used to play the flute.

Now only play harmonica, and then not very often

 

[Structaural]

Played trumpet at school and I've owned a guitar since I was a boy - but I've never put the practice in past 15 years old. I recently bought a nice acoustic electric but can't seem to find the time at the moment.

 

[xenon]

Bass.
Guitar. Mostly electric.
Drum machine. Well I try and program it to sound like real drums. Takes ages.
Synths, badly.

 

[Roadkill]

Harmonica.

Badly.

sounds ideal -- i should've gone for that model. that recording is nice -- the guitar sounds like a piano in places (is it a piano in places?) .. nylon stringed/capo'ed?

no 'immerse your soul in love' bit though? s'the best bit that

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I play

guitar
drums
ukulele
bass
Harmonica
keys
flute
and trumpet

A jack of all trades but master of none.

Is a nylon acoustic guitar with Capo at the 9th fret, but the guitar tuned down a half step.

It was our first recording of the piece and she had only practised it a few times without recording first, and she didn't even know the song..these people they live under rocks I swear.

Meant to do a proper recording of it with some background stuff as well, but we both been a bit too busy to devote the time to it lately.

 

[k_s]

Guitars, bass, harmonica, a bit of drums and learning the piano.

I want to learn to play everything in the world so i can make records without the aid of other people, who have a tendency to get stoned and refuse to play what i tell them Why can't people understand that I'm the genius around here?

 

[audiotech]

Guitar, lead and rhythm.
Bass
Keyboards
Harmonica
Programme drums
Vocals

Mad Guitars
