HAHAHAHA. That was great fartgirl. Thanks for sharing.

There was a part in it that reminded me of when I was in Jr. High School. I wanted to be 1st clarinet (since they played the melody)....my teacher wouldn't allow me b/c I was really good and the 2nd clarinets "needed me". I guess b/c there would be no harmony without me. lol.

AND my mother recalls how horrible it was when I practiced for the first few years. lol. Again, thanks for sharing!

lol glad you enjoyed :)

Trumpet- many moons ago.

I always wanted to play the violin. I'm a keybord player. Been playing since I was 8. I have a Roland, I like hooking it to my computer and goofing around with all the midi stuff.

I have played the guitar for 3.6 years. i cant seem to pick. So i cant play any melody. I am fucked. It seems stupid to play. I want to quit but my shrink says it is good for my brain. My teacher says I am really good. Well fuck duuhh after 3.6 year what the fuck do you expect from a 60 year old. strum strum strum. fucking shit

I played first chair Trumpet in my school band, taught myself the clarinet and the piano.

I got an F in school for my playing of a kazoo, no music ability here.

I was taught classical piano from the age of six, but I always wanted to play guitar... Quit playing at seventeen and bought my first nylon string guitar. Paid for lessons, then later caught the bug of electric guitar and pedal effects. Saved up for a Strat, a 100w Marshall Quadbox circa 1968, paired with a 150w Laney head with valves as big as my fist. Those first few weeks I terrorised the neighbourhood until I got a grip...the sound was so pure and huge I didn't realise how loud I was until I learnt to listen for the windows rattling. It was (and still is) like living inside a speakerbox if you crank it up, haha!

I learnt the cornet and the trumpet and played solo trumpet in my school brass band for six years too. The dog hated it and yowled every time I practised. So my family was less than supportive...had to quit when I moved to the city.

Just starting to learn the harmonica. I've got one in G so far. Chose this key so I could play Heart of Gold with old Neil.

Nice work with learning the violin- and making a new one- Wow impressive! An old mate let me have a go on hers and it wasn't pretty. I didn't like getting covered in rosin either, but she played beautifully.

I love how enthusiasm for an instrument when learning to play can break all social boundaries and you just want to share what you've learnt, or be shown things by others, without a trace of self-consciousness :)

You know classical guitar strings don't really hurt sensitive fingers but you definitely need to have developed little calluses on your fingers to play steel string. The quality of the guitar makes a pretty big difference too.

What genre of music do you play doorknob? Are we talking Tchaikovsky and Bach, or Charlie Daniels Band? As a teen classical piano absolutely gave me the shits! My piano teacher swore that non-classical music would "ruin my technique". He should hear my technique after not playing for twenty five years...well he'd be rolling in his grave anyway!

Well I'm only in book one so there's no real genre yet.

I play to do a rock Symphony type thing like my new hero David Garrett. But I will play what ever interests me. So probably not many classical music as I'm not a huge fan of it.

I did download and print out some anime music which I successfully played. But I still need a ton of practice. Violin needs so much posture and my back is weak. But I have seen improvement in arm strength and back strength since playing so added bonus there.
