I was curious about this so I thought why not make a thread for it.

Do you play an Instrument? What instrument do you play? What's your equipment like?

amps not pictured but they're low-end practice amps, got a roland cube 60w (probably gonna sell) and a fender frontman 15w, loud enough for a bedroom or coffee shop

gretsch electromatic pro jet and ibanez artcore. played the artcore for 3 years in my school's jazz band so it's seen minor wear from transport and gigging. i take good care of my stuff though.

I can learn just about any song on this bad boy. Barely know any, because I hardly ever play it, but it's pretty easy and I picked it up pretty quickly

Ocarina. Another woodwind instrument, but not quite a flute. Think Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time for the N64, it's a replica of that Ocarina.

I thought I recognised it.

My cymbals are some Zildjians that were made in the late 70s. Bought them from a collector. Apparently they're pretty rare. I would say what model they were but they have nothing written on them. The guy told me they were custom made for the previous owner.

after your solo (that's you right? on the drums), absolutely nobody was in the same key, hahahahaha


I am a musician, not to much of a good one though, I rarely play my guitar anymore, I have played bass too in a band and I love to play the drums.
this my emogothicguitar that I liked so much when I bought it haha:
HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT, I just saw this picture for the first time, that's my guitar!!!

Started playing maybe 2-3 years ago, learned everything on my own. So much fun, can't seem to "progress" like I used to. Feels like I just play the same songs over and over again... lol

I started guitar a couple years ago with a nice yamaha Pacifica off eBay along with an amp, cheap also I have recently just got my second and it's a fisherman acoustic.Not to expensive and plays nicely with fisherman acoustics. I will find pictures later.

I also have a mean jam with the pan flute.

i played piano as a kid, still do just for fun now though. really old piano at my house which i love. started acoustic guitar bout 3 years ago, still regularly jammin, shortly after which i got a ukelele, which i sometimes hit up, although its a pretty shitty one. started playing irish fiddle at 8, but i was shit, still play tin whistle since i was maybe 5, i dunno if thts a universal instrument... aswell as the bodhrán, another original irish instrument, which is made of goatskin streched across a wooden circular frame then hit with either a slóg or as i prefer, your thumb and second last finger alternately.

so...apart from flute, i play what you might know as the riverdance instruments, lol.

Was everyone else that bad at SMOKE ON THE WATER?

Anyways, I've been playing guitar for about 2 years.
Got a cheap Behringer fender type thing that I got for christmas, I play it more than my Yamaha acoustic because the bridge is screwed up,
My acoustic I play now is this dusty black guitar with a great sound; I got it from my moms boyfriends old roomate. And I have this little behringer amp that isnt perfect but it works.

Been trying to set up this foot pedal thing, too. Not a damn clue how, though.

Yeah man two holes on the bottom...that thing doesn't sound too amazing but i love it...who wouldn't like to play turtle ???
Btw that's not my turtle ocarina in that pic...my turtle is green/orange and has head and pretty face hahah

4 strings and you play it like ukulele...that's all i know. Haven't tried but i'd love to. Watch Todd Taylors videos. He's the man. Idol of every string instrument player !

Ha was just about to say, it's probably another shape for an ocarina if it has those holes, since your original post made it seem you weren't sure of what it was.

It's just an ocarina that happens to be in the form of a turtle shell. If you played it you'd just be an Ocarina player, or an Ocarinist. I don't take any instrument seriously enough to consider myself a musician, though. :V

I read that wrong.

...


The other drummer who plays in the jazz band at my school is better than me so I have to play lame percussion instruments like triangles and cymbals and tambourines and xylophones and cowbells. It's boring. But I thought I might as well "put my foot in the door" to make the teachers think I'm dedicated so as to give me a higher chance of getting in the band next year.

Sick Stokenstein, listened to them yesterday but forgot to leave feedback (not that it matters to anyone, but anyways), sick stuff dude! Singing and playing at the same time is really a challenge, and you get that on lock.

Thanks! We recorded it live in my basement in about an hour, pretty much all first take, so the quality isn't the best. We're saving up to have someone with some knowledge record our full-length this summer.

I am not that great and I am not sure how to hold it but it's still fun. :p
Still learning, Found out I bought a traditional Harmonica in C and it works well with blues
So I put on a Blues Track In G and this is what I Came up with.
