I've been playing guitar for about 2 years. While I can't play any full songs because I've been too lazy to learn, I've made alot of my own riffs and stuff. I could probly finish learning "Enter Sandman" in one day if I put my heart into it, but thats the only song I've learned a whole lot of.

I play piano and have been doing so for almost *Checks calender* 7 years now.
I also just recently gave the Bass a shot and I love it.

Been playing the drums for about 5 years now and I suppose the hardest song I can play pretty much perfectly would be "Dead Memories"
or "Psychosocial" both by Slipknot.

I would say yes, my firend has a DJ setup and it takes a lot of skill to get good with it.

I've been playing guitar ever since I could use my hands :D . I play in multiple styles but the hardest I can play will probably have to be finger style and tap Fantaise by Chopin.

I've been playing the piano since I was eight and play a variety of styles. The hardest song I can play is Freedom Rider by Traffic (I play the flute solo) or Flight of The Bumblebee. I also play the organ, I had to play the organ at the church I used to go to afeter the organ player died.

I've been playing the Sitar for six years (My aunt heather gave it to me it was my great grandma's until she died). I can play sections of Akbrun on it and the Sitar version of the beatles Inner Light

I've been playing the Koto for about five years too (also was once my great grandma's). I'm okay at it, it just really needs tuning and I haven't played it for about a year because of that. The hardest song I could play was Shin Onigashima and Yoko Masafumi.

I also play the Clarinet for six years. The hardest song I can play is Freeeom Rider by Traffic (I play the flute solo on the clarinet)

I play the banjo and I've played that since I was seven. I can play dueling banjos but the hardest song I play is my version of Grateful Dead's Dire Wolf.

I can play the drums but I'm just learning. I don't even own a real drumset (It's electric and at my friend Daniel's house).

In the school band I play the piano, guitar and clarinet but I usually just play the Marimba the vibraphone or the glockenspiel.

There are a few more instruments that I'm just learning to play.

I have my own band and we play a variety of musical genre. Most of the songs we write are Jazz Metal ^_^ .

I've been playing the electric guitar since almost 2 years now... But I still suck real bad even if I took some lessons... I can play parts of songs though... I can play like parts of Hangar 18, Enter Sandman, Killing In The Name Of... But the only two songs I managed to almost learn all are Kristy, Are You Doing Ok? and You're gonna Go Far Kid, both by The Offspring

I have played quite a few over the years. Where to begin now.....

I played Clarinet in Grade 9, Alto Saxaphone in Grade 10, I play Tuba this year (So much fun actually). That's at school. I've also been playing electric bass for almost a year now, and I'm quite good at it apparently....I might dip into guitar eventually :P.

I used to be good at clarinet, but I kind of didn't enjoy playing it as much anymore :P. That's why I switched to bass, and I haven't regretted it. Oboe is win by the way, although I've never played it I'd try it any day of the week :3.

I played flute in elementary school, but since then I hadn't really played any instruments besides guitar recently. I've been liking it so far, and hope to get my first electric this july for my birthday.

Which reminds me that i've been using this forum for a year. Where has the time gone >.<

Similarly. I played clarinet from the age of 8 to the age of 11. I played Oboe for 2 years. And I've been playing electric bass since I was 12.

I played Trumpet and Clarinet for both four years. The recent one was the Trumpet, but I stopped playing when I hit my sophomore year and onwards.

Even then, I still play for the fun of it.

Well I learned and played accordion for like seven years. I don't know ehy I wanted this back then. I can play the Flute, too. Same goes for Tin Whistle and because of that I can play bagpipes a bit. But the last years I concentrated on the one instrument I always loved and really really want to play as good as possible: My voice :)

I think my most memoriable moment was when I was able to jam at Eurofurence with Alexander James Adams and some friends of mine. It was just gorgeous!

i'm a saxophonist... have been since i was 6, but i didn't really care about it until i was 18 and decided to devote my life to jazz music. since coming to jazz music however, i do wish i didn't play saxophone. i generally don't like the sound of them let alone the horrendous stereotype that surrounds any sax player. you're only ever a few moments away from someone asking you to play baker street, and that person is only ever a few seconds away from a scathing lecture and an angry refusal. i wish i played trumpet tbh... i feel it's a much much softer, more subdued sound. or at least it is in my head, i know it has a bit of a reputation for being quite loud and brash. oh well... nothing i can do but post links to my band then.


http://soundcloud.com/mike-sands/only-us-previews  ...  here's a preview of our album. 5 tracks we've done glued together by me.

http://soundcloud.com/mike-sands/question-answer  ...  this is probably the only recording of me where i'm genuinely pleased with the way i played, and my own solo. it's not with my band, just a duet between me and a guitarist friend.

I play a handful of interests.  I started off with guitar, still not terribly good at it, but enjoy playing it.  I own a Les Paul and a Synesonic Terminator, as well as a Harmony knockoff of a Fender Precision bass.  I spend a bit more time dabbling in guitar than bass, but could probably hold my own on either, as long as things were pretty simple.  Learned the basics of drums from playing Rock Band (which is to say I avidly play expert pro, not making me a legit drummer, but enough to fool people into thinking I am), currently using my brother's Yamaha electronic kit.  Also have an old Yamaha keyboard, don't use it anywhere as much as the guitars or bass.
