squeel!!!!!!!

 

[gui_tarzan]

Guitar - Fender Tele w/ Texas Specials, Oscar Schmidt elec/acous., Gretsch Synchromatic silver sparkle
Bass - Fender American J, Fender Squire P.
Drums a little and am learning keys.

Todd, I am one of those people who learn by ear. I can barely read music and have learned by ear for the 31 years I've been playing. I envy the people who can do both - read and learn by ear.

Air Guitar

Trumpet - haven't much in the last few years, but the 13 years before it I was involved in anything I could. Kind of want to find to start playing again, maybe in a community band or something.

Used to play the trumpet and a little keyboard.

Now all I play well is the radio.

My father used to play guitar, banjo and steel guitar so you'd think some of that might have rubbed off on me. I've had a guitar since I was 8 and still haven't learned how to play.

 

[indyrob]

I used to play the mandolin, ukulele, guitar, and bass. I gave it all up when I started getting CTS.

 

[tubaman]

well, I guess you can figure out what I play!!

This is picture of my horn, just got some work done on it and it plays like a dream. Man, I LOVE playing loud and pissing off the trumpet players in front of me!!!

Very nice Kevin! Did it take that long to get back since you dropped it off at the herf?

 

[tedski]

I don't play any instrument, but I love listening to guitar, piano and saxaphone.
I've been thinking of buying a used acoustic guitar and giving it a go.

Has everyone here had formal lessons - or did you learn on your own?

 

[jcgoldner]

Nice horn Kevin! That's definetly not the student model is it!

I use to play Alto Sax back in the day. I wish I never stopped.

Plenty of formal lessons here Ted.

Actually no. I wound up having to take it back because there were a few things I wasn't happy with. I was being picky, picky, picky, but it made a big difference!

I used to play the guitar some time ago.

ROFL...never had a tuba player I couldn't out play (most of ours were pretty average, all the good ones switched to trombone). I constantly practiced playing pieces by Arturo Sandoval, so my range was pretty good those last few years. Granted...nothing can shake the walls of a room like a good blast from a tuba.

I enjoyed being in the brass section in general and pissing off all the woodwinds or colorguard members (depending on the season).

If they switched to trombone, they were freakin panty wastes!!

 

[schuellk]

Maybe, but the director was a trombonist as a 1st instrument, so guess which section got a little more attention and opportunity for solos.
