Title: What instrument do you play and how long have you been playing it?
Post by: Coloured-Green on August 15, 2012, 11:07:20 AM: I personally play the guitar, I have only ever played an acoustic. I've been playing it for around 2 years now, I've got the hang of it I guess. (Any F chord gives me trouble though. :( )

Dude I would LOVE to play piano. It's so versatile. I suppose guitar is too really.

Oh also on the matter of how long I've been playing them well I started in the 6th grade and I'm 23 now so awhile :P .

Post by: Timmy Fox on August 20, 2012, 01:58:04 PM: I've played the electric guitar for soon 4 years. I'm pretty decent but I have a lot to learn I'm sure.
I play though rather occasionally and not on a too daily basis, but still I do some practicing every now and then so I won't get rusty and to learn some new stuff.

When I was younger I took keyboard lessons for 2 years, I surely know the basics and to play some nice simple melodies, but nowadays I consider my keyboard/piano skills pretty lacking :P

And Green, don't worry about the F-chord , you'll get a hang of it eventually and then it'll be super easy!
The trick is that you use your index digit to push down all strings at once on the first fret, then the other you just place out nicely as they should be.
The Dreaded F Chord (Guitar Lesson BC-161) Guitar for beginners Stage 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecPzu9sTKbo#ws) Here's a great tutorial on how to do it.
