i remember taking up guitar for quite a bit...my dad would teach me and got me a matching 62 Reissue American Standard Fender Stratocaster.......i was starting to get the hang of it, but then football started up again......i should really get back into playing the guitar.......i might just do that over winter break

I can plink around at the least on pretty much anything that I can pronounce...not including the Zither or the Scitar. Mostly though, I stick to drums and bass.
Almost made it to Berklee, money issues cut me off the first time. Released a few CDs, the most recent of which was with my band, back in October of 2001. Another CD with re-recorded and new material should be on the way shortly.
In High school, 5 of my 8 classes Senior year were music oriented...M. Appreciation, M. Theory, Swing Choir, Concert Choir, Jazz Band, Marching/Bball Band, Orchestra, and Drum Corp.
I've had dinner with Elvin Jones, and hung out for a few days at PASIC with Morgan Rose and Clint (last name escapes me at the moment) of Sevendust.

Integraboy, do you give lessons? It's a great way to not only spread the artform, but you can learn quite a bit as well.

Guitar. Been playing (raf counts on his fingers .... takes off shoes to count on toes as well...) about 17 years since I seriously started. I had a couple of lessons from a travelling Californian hippie guy a coupl eof years earlier, but wasn't really into it until I saw The Jimi Hendrix Story - Jimi bent my brain, and I just went "I have to do that!"

I'm ok, I guess. I find it difficult to really comment on my own playing; most people have a much higher opinion of my playing than I do.

Yea, it was one of the requirements for my grade school. Either take band, orchestra, or speech. I wanted to take band, but i was having extremely bad ear problems and the doctor was afraid that band may cause more harm to my ears in the long run. So I took orchestra. It wasn't as bad as it sounds though.

I dont know how to read music, I learned by playing the Air Drums, to Pearl Jam, and Led Zepplin, soundGarden ETC, I have given some lessons, i just told the kid when u listen to a song, try to block out the Guitar and Vocals and focus on the beat of the drums, I dont think I would ever learn how to read music though

[stealthj]

i played the piano for like 7-12 years old......

i started DJ'ing at 16....

then my probation officer did not consider DJing at night a job.... so yeah.....turntables for sale...

oh wait....turntables are not instruments!!

[Dustin_S]

I consider turntables instruments...they take skill to manipulate into producing music.
Computers, however...Sampling, Computers...Protools...those aren't instruments.
