Musicians?

[tommysb]

Who here plays an instrument then? And what style of music do you generally play?

I'll get the ball rolling. I used to play guitar, still do from time to time, but no where near as seriously as I did. Played in a couple of ska-punk bands, and used to practise anything reggae or 'rocky' generally.

Low end legend.
Possibly the worlds worst bass player.
And it takes a lot of effort to be bad with only four strings to be bad on.

Andy Rourked it up in a Smiths tribute band (the Smifths) years ago and stood in for Matt Freeman when he missed Rancid Gigs with ball cancer.

One of the two claims above is a true fact.

Used to have a fine collection of el-cheapo guitars when I was in the UK, only thing I managed to take with me over here is my Electric Mandolin, only know a few songs on it but I can play them really well!

Looking to get another electric guitar when I've got some cash - possibly another Yamaha pacific 112v. A mate of mine left his Crafter acoustic over in Victoria with his Ex, so it's just a question of sorting the frieght out and its mine ( he's lucky she didnt break it over his head hehehe )

I did security for [spunge] when they played Trillians in toon.
Twice.

How cool am I?
Yeah, not very.

Isn't that a small orange?

I play guitar (got 4 of the things ). Usually a bit of rock/progressive rock, but nowhere near as pratcised as I used to be - annoyingly so! Have a Cort X11 which is bloody nice, nobody's ever heard of them but they make bodies for Ibanez.

An old pic!


On the want list: some sort of electro acoustic, maybe a Tanglewood

Ive just sold an Ibanez Talman Elec/accoustic man.
For mega cheaps.

Used to play a bit of sax, clarinet and piano, not seriously played for a while though. Latin, bigband, ska and Thin Lizzy/Dire Straits covers are the order of the day when I do play, and sometimes some gratuitous Pink Floyd mid term sax induced stuff when we have enough people around to get properly involved.

We should totally have a band camp this summer.
I saw one on a DVD and it was almost amusing.

I frickin told you at the time!!!!!

I posted I was clearing out all my guitar gear.
Epiphone SG custom (pearl and gold)
Brand new Ibanez Talman in classical gig case
and a precision bass.

I got pennies for them like.
Broke my heart.

Does the Harmonica count? I can play that too an extent, my mates a dab hand on the Banjo aswell (seriously) so if you want to hear dueling banjo's he's the man to talk to.

Hey i sound well redneck

[tommysb]

My housemate is teaching himself the banjo. It's been quite painful!

[Bazboy]

I used to play piano a bit but other then that havent really done much music wise, my Dad on the other hand loves it he plays harmonica and guitar mainly but also has bongos and loads of other things aswel used to play in a band called charcoal blues band but now plays with a group called work shy, but im guessing none of you have heard of them .
