I play violin and piano

lol! I've dabbled, used to play the viola years ago. I've also played guitar a bit, and got fairly decent with a banjo. My problem is that I can play, but I never practice so I lose what I learn. Banjo was my favorite of all of them.

( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)

Yeah pretty much...go on, make fun of my people! I can take it! Lol

Lol, stay away from the visitors ;)

you're not the only one darlin' :)

I however tend to think about Earl Scruggs and all the awesome licks and rolls he and others cranked out over the years, true artist right there.

Lol, I actually like the sound of a banjo.

One of the best parody songs of tom petty's waiting is the hardest part! Lol, haven't heard it in years.

First listen for me. ლ(・﹏・ლ)

link to the song, if you haven't heard it :)

haha, one time walking home to the apt I used to live at, spotted a neighbor ahead whose shirt on the back said, "Paddle faster, I hear banjos." So I catch up and say from behind with a maliciously stern Appalachian(-ish) accent, "You gaht somethin' 'gainst banjos?" So he turns, semi startled by the unexpected voice and laughs because many didn't catch the reference.
urns out it was a shirt put out by the W Virginia Tourist Board (something like that), where he was from (this was a building with mostly Fordham U students). He was a cool dude, we used to talk sometimes.

That's class! Gave me a good laugh imagining that. You're from New York?

Thanks. Yeah, the Bronx. Lived round there 21 years, back in the old neighborhood now...

KITTY!

It's all fun and games until the banjos come out.

What kind of guitar do you play?

It's all in the embouchure. ;-)

Acoustic and Electric.

The mouth of the river? I don't speak French.

So in playing guitar, you play guitars. Stop the press! No, I mean what style.

You're kinda on point, but it's the way you use your mouth/lips to play a wind instrument.

Lol, mainly chords in a pop/rock style. I can finger a few notes with practice. Basically, just stick me in any CCM band and I'll be alright, especially with a capo.

That's class 👌

ROFL, np. I just come from a 1/2 musical family.

Been playing guitar since I was a youngster. Bass guitar too. Drums. Tin whistle. just kidding I don't know what that is lol.

Lol, I'm trying to learn bass at the moment. Unfortunately I've got no natural gift to learn how to play any instrument (˘･_･˘)

A triangle is a very underrated instrument :)

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but didn't he murder his girlfriend?

Maybe, or she might have been murdered. Who can tell with zonked out junkies. I read Nancy Spungen's mother's book on her daughter. Harrowing read.

It sure is. I didn't even know there was technique for it until college!

Oof,I wish I *Didnt* have a gift.If I didnt,my family wouldntve sucked all the fun and my will to play out of music.

That sux. You're right, it's not cool when it becomes a chore you hafta do.

Nothing worse than having someone force you to do something.

Yeah....buyt hey,as for some support,I belive youll be able to play bass like a pro one day!Are you learning electric or upright?

Electric. Not sure where I'd even put an upright bass (・_・;)

yeah,thoses are pretty hard to store,*laughs and looks in the corner of my room*

Lol, you need a lot of room when you're as clumsy as I am.

same!Scince im tall and clumsy,I hit my had on everything,while falling down,bumbing into doors,doorknobs and cabenits

Just find a way to sneak off and enjoy the gift on your own. It can be a personal hobby that you happen to be really good at.

thanks.

Awesome, bass is so fun to play. There's something really powerful about hitting a note & vibrating the entire building & everyone in it! I've found that most people could learn to play an instrument if they take the time to practice and KEEP practicing. It's the lack of patience, not musical talent, that holds them back. I try to tell people that are starting out to keep practicing, put it down if you get frustrated, but come back & practice again later... repetition. You will get better if you keep doing it.
...and what is a tin whistle anyway?

No offense taken I was just joshing ;) Yeah, I'm keeping at it. I always wanted to learn the bass but never took the time. Thanks for the tips!

oHH, I checked out tin whistle music. I guess it's the flutey sound you hear in traditional Irish music.

No way! I love it.

*or

I wish that I could but no.

hrrn,I play bass (upright and electric),guitar,drums and piano,I have a natural gift and talent for it,(No,im not bragging,I get awards for playing music and I never really practice)but....my parents forced me to play,so that sucked all the fun all of it,so now I never really play.
