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?

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
Is that some form of flute?
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.Quote:

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

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
Edit: Can't see any of those pictures you posted Snail haha

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.
Old Drummer
but now i just make Techno shit in Reason and Logic Pro

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 that's pretty much what i'm playing now.Quote:

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 !Quote:

Thanks man!Quote:
