Musically Minded

[Dutchie]

Just curious as to what each of us do. Do you sing? Play guitar? Play Drums? Play Piano? Play Bass?

For all you know, we could put together a Missy Higgins tribute band. :p

[Chrissie]

I played piano for maybe 8 or more years and i'm still crap :) I'm sort of learning guitar too

[Hinny]

I am completely uncoordinated. I struggle terribly to play Ramones songs on guitar, my singing voice compares to the Sandman's, and I can't keep the beat to save my life.

I should start a Milli Vanilli tribute act.

[what]

guitar and piano foo. oh and i try to play harmonica sometimes haha. and when i get a bass i will be rockin out on that. hmmmmmm. music.

I can picture you dancing around like Peter Garrett to "blame it on the rain" :p

[Fredina]

Played flute for many years, prefer to listen to rock music! Oh well i guess there's always a place for me in the polyphonic spree or the flaming lips!

[Hinny]

Ohhh, I can be one of the people in the animal costumes for the Flaming Lips.

[lozzy]

i can play drums.
i try to play harmonica.
i can play like 10 songs on guitar.

basically, i'm not too musical. i always wanted to play piano but was too busy with sport. silly parents. ima start learning piano before the year is out.

[what]

so kre8_76 are you any good on the guitar?

[Cactus]

Hey I play acoustice guitar. prolly played on and off for3 or 4 years.

Have slide guitar which i have hardly picked up. Will get into it when i have time.

Can play abit of Piano. taught myself The Cactus that found the beat and THis is how it goes. Definately not perfect, sounds ok though.

[Dutchie]

so kre8_76 are you any good on the guitar?

i used to be better...

played for about 10 years. gave up for about 5. and just don't seem to have what i had before.

i'm pretty average on the guitar. a bit better on the bass. on the organ - i can play chopsticks and a few other basic songs I remember learning when I was a kid.

I always wanted to learn piano over organ.

They're the two songs I'm trying to teach myself so that I actually sound like I'm playing a piano. You might have to help me! ;)

[:: katie b ::]

i can play piano... i learnt for like 5 years. wish i never gave up.

and i wish i learnt to play the guitar. my time will come. and i will be a scorchin rock star. just u wait.

[Bocks]

[Dutchie]

i play everything

excellent! nothing like an all rounder to help some of us musically challenged. :)

[what]

i play everything
'i don't play no basketball. my name's snoop dogg and i play bitches.'

[Cactus]

Hey kre8_76

I learned this is how it goes from my guitar. Its easy on guitar.. So it took me a while to translate it from guitar to piano.

I dont read music that well.. only very basic.. like C to A.. then once it goes above those lines I get lost.

Cactus that found the beat is easier on piano. Hmm I cant really teach u coz I duno what the chords r coz I play it on guitar with a Capo on 3rd with Am, G, F and E..

Cactus

[Dutchie]

My hands go unco when I try to play piano. That rhymes...

I can play them on guitar. Just my piano technique sucks I think...

Can't really read music... I remember FACE and All Good Boys Deserve Fruit in the treble cleff and George Broke Down Father Aplletree, but Can't remember how to remember the spaces in the bass cleff... Other than that, your guess is as good as mine

[what]

cactus that found the beat is quite easy.
Cm, Bb (or somethin), then A# minor (again not sure haha) then g after that when ur doin the verse.

[maiizhigh]

spaces in the bass cleff, going from the bottom up: All Cows Eat Grass.
that worked for me. :)

i play piano. have been playing since i was in grade one. i stopped taking lessons last year, school got in the way, but i'll def take it back up. i think i play now more than i did when i did exams and such :p

Come to Adelaide and teach me!!! Oh wise one :o

[maiizhigh]

[Dutchie]

haha sure. are you offering to pay to fly me in each week?

hmmm.... you got webcam? :p

[Bocks]

[Dutchie]

I sell computers... ;)

[Bocks]

[jadeox]

i play the drums and bass

[da_lozmeister]

I sing....not very well in my opinion...and im really self conscious about it so i can't sing in front of other people....but yeah,....i sing

[cirrol]

I play accoustic guitar.
By play i mean i pretend to know what im doing.
I look good doing it though!
Hahaha!
I AM learning though... ever so slowly!

[Shenelle]

I play the acoustic guitar, harmonica, piano, trumpet, french horn, flute, recorder and I sing!

NOW....

I cant actually do any of these very well. My guitar is being fixed at the moment, but I cant wait to get it back so i can start learning more and i want to incorporate the harmonica into it! Ive got a harmonica but its a crappy one - i want to get a new one! Other than that - my piano skills are limited. I playes Trumpet, french horn and flute in school, but I think my piercings may stop me from being able to play those instruments now! lol

[teabag]

I can play the eletric\acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums and i sing in the shower!

[swandive]

Played flute, sax, clarinet, bassoon in school. Still play flute from time to time. A little piano too. Wish I could play my beautiful guitar which is sitting in the corner collecting dust but I can't seem to find the time. Maybe when I'm 40!

[i_love_wil_anderson]

i play guitar, drums, piano, harmonica, bass and sing.......they all call me a one woman band lol.....all i can say is music's in my blood

[life is peachy without me]

i can play a bit of sax

[missy_rulez]

I can play bit of tuba, trombone, trumpet, french horn, guitar, piano, clarinet, bass clarinet, sax, but im prolly best at piano, but yea havent played any of them in ages

[Duke Ella]

i play guitar, bass, drums, piano, i did play flute but haven't touched it in years and i sing and most things i pick up really easily.

[Dutchie]

I'm so impressed with all you guys!

With all these guitarists, I'm seeing a big mh.org camp out and a mass of guitars surrounding a massive campfire singing kumbaya and Missy's songs.

I haven't heard anyone say they can play the triangle yet. Hmmm....

[lozzy]

I haven't heard anyone say they can play the triangle yet. Hmmm....
probably because triangle is too difficult.

[maiizhigh]

yea i started when i was younger, but gave up after 2 weeks. i just couldnt hack it.

[Dutchie]

Too challenging??? :p

[Hinny]

Some people are just born unco and stay that way.

Unco people of the world unite!

[maiizhigh]

Too challenging??? :p
yea. piano is SOOOOO much simpler in comparision.
i just couldnt handle the pressure of playing the triangle. i think i'll stick to piano.

oh - and no i dont have a web cam.

[Dutchie]

oh - and no i dont have a web cam.

I guess I better start saving up for next years piano lessons and flights to adelaide then

[Euphoria]

I play (mainly acoustic) guitar. :D
Well, I'm learning guitar.
I'm not sure when you go from 'I'm learning guitar' to 'I play guitar'!?
I can play all your basic chords and a couple of fiddley ones...But no barres!
Barre chords are evil! I'm yet to successfully pull one off... My fingers are too small! :p
Haha. I'm actually focusing on finger picking songs at the moment!
Figure I can get my left hand all stong and then maaaaaaybe I'd manage some barre chords! :D
Other than guitar I don't think there's anything else really.
I sing, not very well at all - but it counts!
Oh oh! And I can tap dance a little! That's got sound so it counts as music! :p
Haha! I'm happy with just guitar right now though, but maybe one day I'll take up something else.
People are constantly telling me that I should learn the banjo & start an 'all maniacs' band called the Green Socks, so maybe.. ;)

[Euphoria]

Oh oh! And TRIANGLE!
No I don't play, but I thought it might intrest you to know that my parents are getting me one for my 18th bday! :D
Haha, sadly It's true.
The other week they got together and decided that a shiny triangle would be a lot safer than a shiny car. :rolleyes:

[Duke Ella]

i've haven't really played the triangle my self but a few years ago a friend and myself went to music camp and my friend went for drums and took up her whole kit and then ended up doing a triangle solo. :p

[lil el]

i play guitar, bass, keyboard, i can play a bit of drums if asked...like only basic stuff tho and saxophone. i also tap dance too!

[maiizhigh]

I guess I better start saving up for next years piano lessons and flights to adelaide then
:D yay!
goodluck with that. :p

Haha!

Finger picking is evil for me. My figners are too big. Nails too short. Maybe we can swap left hands. Mine will be good for barre chords and yours will be good for finger picking.

I love tap dancing, but I'd look like a tap dancing hippo
