Any Musicians out there?

[Crazytwoknobs]

What?? No Van Halen divebombs?

Ok, I dont' use mine much either, but I still like some good hard rock guitar god playing though.

haha!

I always recommend the Squier Bullet Strat over the "soft-tailed" ones. Even though it's a Squier, it's a really great guitar, well made, sounds good, and it's easy to modify. It's nothing like a '71 strat or a '66 SG, but for a noob, I always recommend the Bullet or the Epi Junior.

Country/Blues/RocknRoll, my average acoustic set can contain anything from Alan Jackson to Alice Cooper...

Divebombs??? OK, guilty!!

Been playing guitar for about 12 years - never for money just fun. Play the rock and blues spectrum, a lot of rhythm and some pentatonic lead. Messing around with the digeradoo and looking for a theramin.

I was just thinking about starting a musicians thread, after I saw Jaded's Guitar thread from a few days ago.

I've been playing resophonic guitar for about 3 years- I dig on bluegrass, blues, folk. I'm also studying West African djembe and perform with an African dance/drum troupe in Lancaster, PA. Didjeridu has been my primary instrument for 8 years, and I've traveled to Arnhemland, Australia to learn from the Yolngu masters. I opened JDIDJ to give exposure to indigenous didjeridu craftsmen in 2007.

[Evets]

Guitar player for about 35 years. Banjo and mandolin for about 6 years. I wouldn't really call myself a musician though.

Guitar and bass here. Been playing since 1980... which was when I heard Randy Rhoads, and I promptly walked about 5 miles to Arnold & Morgan Music and plopped down my saved lunch money and bought a $50 guitar. One of the happiest days of my life.

Right now I have about 10 guitars and a couple of half stacks that are juiced by a vintage Orange 120 head and an old Hiwatt 100 head. I have no idea how many effects pedals I have because I make them as well & they come and go. It's fun.

...wow I'm suprised I'm not the only TUBA player on the board.
Started on trumpet & trombone in High School, then over to Tuba, Sousaphone & baritone later on. Picked up the guiter in HS also. Had to learn piano for some gawd-forsaken music theory class in college (I thought it'd be easy since i knew so much about music from "band"). I picked up a banjo when I was living in Great Falls MT, then bought a mandolin later on.

I was in a pretty serious garage rock band once upon a time. Our "stichk" was that we would always trade instruments, so I'm at least proficient on a trap set or on the bass.

Next is either an upright bass, or maybe a fiddle.

Lets see, 6 guitars, a marshall stack, prolly 5K worth of pedal effects & processors, a banjo, a bass, my trumpet is around somewhere, and an old pawn shop mandolin. I still have my first Peavey predator amp & a crate 250 that was my stage monitor..if I got really peeved at the band I could crank it up & drown out everybody else.

cheers.

...wow I'm suprised I'm not the only TUBA player on the board.

Uh, of all the instruments in any band, which is most associated with beer drinking. The flute? I don't think so.

Like the joke says, three tuba players walk past a bar. Hey it COULD happen.

 

[Brewsmith]

I just have to post to put all of us together in one spot!

 

[zac]

wow, 3 of us! we orta go start our own group!

I think my left shoulder got lowered a few inches from carrying my sousaphone around during marching band (bad geek alert), so to even it out, I started carrying a chainsaw on my right shoulder to make up for it.

Wow, where has all the time gone? Time for tubas, brats & beers... humm.. I'm hungry.

cheers.

[Opherman47]

I was a professional musican for a bunch of years, guitar bass and keys, guitar primarily, did jingle work, studio stuff, and toured

 

[zac]

Told you it would die soon after my posting.

 

[Three_Trees]

I play guitar and bass. I used to play piano as a kid, now I'm trying to relearn it. Glad the internet makes learning an instrument that much more accessible.

 

[chefchris]

Drums mainly. Been playing for about 13 years or so. Been playing guitar for about 10 as well. Toured and all that fun stuff.

I like playing in party shorts.

Give the sound a sec to catch up.

 

[eschatz]

Bad audio (massive delay) but it's the only clip I know of me playng. I'm the bass player BTW.

 

[chefchris]

upright bass roools.

:rockin:

There's a picture of me somewhere where I'm playing an upright layed across my lap. I'm sure I'm the first person to think of this.
