Default Instruments

I'm Pretty sure that this is going to get locked or just get moved.

@topic.


Ok this is for all of you who play any instruments. I would like to know who does and who doesn't play any kind of musical instrument. If you do may you post what it is and (optional) when you started playing, how good are you on a 1-10 scale. 1 being you just started like 5 seconds ago and don't even know how to pronounce its name. 10 being like beethoven the deaf composer, Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, Kirk Hammet, Or John Puttrucci(I dont think its spelled right) good. Also a ten would be that you have been playing for years and could play something just by listening to it once.


I play an instrument. The guitar(electric). And I would rate myself about a 4 or five. I have been playing for about 2 years. My 2 year annivery of playing will be here on Exactly 2:08 pm on November 30th.

p.s. 100th post anaversery!!! Woot Woot Woot.

P.p.s. Try to stay on topic and DONT DOUBLE,TRIPLE,ECT... POST. Also no spamming and try to keep this a clean thread before something happens to it. I would like it to have a peacefull ending.

I played the piano for eight years beginning at the age to seven. I'd rate myself a 4 on your scale since I haven't played in five years. I still mess around on the synthesizer, but it doesn't demand the same skill.

I also played the trumpet for four years beginning at the age of thirteen. Again, I'd say I'm about a 4. I'm still able to reach most of the notes I was able to reach when I played everyday, and my tone is still good, but after about twenty minutes or so my lips give out.

I also own a french horn, mandolin, banjo, and guitar but my knowledge of those instruments is severly limited and I would rate myself a 2 on each one.

I played the violin for a good 4 years. However, haven't played it in a LONG time. I'd say i am a 5.

I played the piano since i was 6 then stopped at age 9 and just a couple of years ago started to practice again and I would say i'm a 5.

The insturment that i played for awhile now since the age of 11 is the classical guitar. I'd say i'm a 7 because I haven't accomplished anything other than playing that particular guitar kind (classical/acoustic).

I play the Viola and the Guitar.

Been playing the Viola for 4 years, I'd rate myself about a 5.

I've been playing the Guitar for about 4 months, and I'd rate myself a 2 or 2.5.

I had played the trumpet for 4 years. I was probably about a 6 or 7. First trumpet. Not THAT good, but I was one of the best in my school.

I started to play the piano when I was like 8 or so, stopped when I was uhh...13. It was kind of off and on. I can play one song, but it's a fairly advanced song I guess. People think it's weird that I can play that song extremely well and I can't play anything else hahaha. I guess i'm about a 6 on the piano. I can read music and everything.

I play french horn and am better than everyone in my university. Also, I owned all the upper classmen and graduate students at quintet auditions.

EDIT: In other words, 10.

I've been a flute player for almost 6 years now. I started when I was 11, and would rate myself around a 7

I've also been playing the piccolo, kind of the same as the flute but totally different at the same time, for 4 years. That I would rate myself at around a 4.

One other thing I've tried to committ to was the piano, I just can't do it though.

I've been playing bass for a little over 3 years and have a natural talent for it. I can listen to a riff probably 3-4 times and play it, I Have pretty decent rhythm, and can Slap/Tremelo(Sp?)/Tap very well. I guess I'd rate myself a 6 or 7 on your scale.

I just started playing guitar as well, but chords really get to me. only been playing for 4 months and I'm probably a 3 (Maybe 4, but that's pushing it) because I can finger well due to playing bass.

Just started playing drums, like literally just started about a week ago. 1 or 2.

Back when I was in school, band fulfilled all of my arts credits. I played alto/baritone saxophone and was one of the best at my school and while playing baritone saxophone, we got a I rating at the state level and I also was accepted for a European tour. After that I got bored of the sax and alternated among some of the brass instruments. I mostly played baritone because it was easier for marching band and really got into the trumpet because of jazz music (I read treble clef for the euphonium/baritone so I was able to jump right to the trumpet). After that I did a little bit of marching band drumming but nothing too special.

When I was a junior in high school, however, about 10 years ago, I went into my school's television production classes for broadcasting on our area's public access channel. It completely replaced band and I haven't touched anything since. Having said that, I don't think rating myself would be too relavent. I can still drum a little and I might be able to wing something on the sax, but the brass I used to play would probably be unplayable to me right now.

I play a french horn. I've been playing that for about 2 1/2 years. I'm probably a 4 or so. I've plated the trombone for 5 1/2 years, but havn't played for a while. My teacher said I was his best one, so I guess a five or so. I also play the violin, but am like a 1 or something. I was taught piano, but I play by ear and it takes forever because I can't read piano music. Synthesisers and keybords ar whatever are more fun anyways. I also tried guitar, but am a 1 at that too.
