How musical are we?

[chuckie egg]

I just wondered what musical instruments people can play?

I play the drums, and am trying very hard to learn guitar.... any tips welcome! :D

[AllegroNg]

I work at a music shop, chuckie, and found that most are inspired by trying to play songs they luuuuuurve! Otherwise, I recommend lessons!

The ones that matter were piano when I was 6, violin when I was 9, and viola when I was 19.

[RuneT]

I play a little drums
I play a little guitar
I sing a lot in the car
I suck
But that's not my problem

[Frieda]

i can play the piano a little bit.. and i sing in the car too. and in the shower. and while cooking.

[dickieC]

I learned the recorder at school, but never got anywhere.

I can't play an instrument, but I can sing quite nicely, not solo though, in large choirs. Bass-baritone. (Can't reach high tenor notes, can't reach low bass notes).

[amanda]

I can sing the blues when I've got a little help from my friends.
my paintbrush and my dishes are a good combo and my desk puts out a good deep beat.

Plastic bags are pretty fun.

i LOVE playing the recorder.

i grew up playing trumpet, started teaching myself flute and know a bit of piano, and am now playing bass.

[lafey]

tin whistle (like a recorder, only not)
xylophone

drums
i sing in my car

i am musically impaired, sad but true,can't play any instruments, can't carry a tune in a bucket,doesn't stop me from singing in the princess truck though.

I used to play the piano pretty well - don't have one to practice on right now tho' - someday... :)

And I sing. But you already knew that. :)

edit: oh...and every once in awhile I pick up my guitar & practice scales... but I get distracted. The piano's easier...you don't have to build up calluses ;)

[beckstra]

a little piano
even less guitar
and I sing...a lot

sometimes even publically...

[rmr]

I've been known to get drunk at piano bars and sing along.

But seriously piano, flute, and get ready to laugh I used to play handbells for church :)

[red]

I honk when I blow my nose.

[noxxville]

I can play the remote like no one you've ever seen.

[red]

beans, beans the magical fruit the more you eat…

[AllegroNg]

And the skin flute. Ha ha ha ha ha.. ha.

[Frieda]

hey i forgot to mention that i can burp the alphabet song.. does that count too?

[amanda]

Absolutely.

[Deviate]

oh yeah, and i sing...

-st.

[Red Princess]

i wish i could sing. my dad always said if you can't sing make up for it with lots of volume. he was musically impaired also, used to play harmonica anyway and dogs for blocks around would howl.

[red]

I hum.

[Red Princess]

hmmmmmmm

[red]

Heh!

[Red Princess]

i think i was off-key, glad no one could hear

[red]

In my mind it was perfect.

[Red Princess]

[Madmack]

Does the ukulele count..?

[Red Princess]

ukelelele counts, of course, george harrison played one

[amanda]

it only counts if you are prepared to wear the grass skirt and coconut shells.

don't be modest now...

[Red Princess]

actually it may be paul mccartney that plays the ukelelelele

[Madmack]

I'll wear the grass skirt.. no coconuts though.. Too much chafing..

[Red Princess]

you know of course that a grass skirt is worn the same way as a kilt, no nothing underneath? just checking

[Madmack]

As a Canadian of Scottish decent.. I have and wear my kilt proudly...

[Red Princess]

[Madmack]

[AllegroNg]

Ok, now THAT is hot!!!

[Frieda]

[dinzdale]

Iasked a Scottish friend to do something Sciottish for St Andrews day.....he took a piss in a phone box.

[Madmack]

Quoting AllegroNg..."Don't make me whip out my pics in Scottish gear.."

[Red Princess]
