skipclone 1 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 kazoo at a funeral. I`m just trying to picture that. Hey, do vocals count? yeah I sing, actually it`s a little frustrating. I get more work as a singer than as a guitarist.

Blue Strat Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 Originally posted by philch792: I play hamonicaCool! What type of harp do you play? I've got a couple, but my favorite is my Hohner Golden Melody in C. My other one is a Hohner Big River Harp in D. Also, got any tips for cleaning old harps up and getting them in tip-top shape again?

henryrobinett Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Using my definition of me being able to PLAY, by could I in a pinch play a gig or back somebody up with another instrument? I could squeek by on bass. I have played a couple of gigs when others were pushed against the wall. I play enough keyboards to write music and sequence a little. I used to play flute. My other musical instruments are manuscript paper and the studio. All the best, Henry Robinett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMcGuitar Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Guitar (obviously ) Bass Banjo (passable enough to play in musicals) Keyboard (only well enough for my home studio) I used to play a bit of dulcimer, but I've just let it slip over the years. I played mandolin for a while, but the "practice wife" kept it in the divorce. Also, at one time I was a barely mediocre drummer.

doc taz Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I can do a little of the paper route, too, as Henry pointed out. But mostly, besides guitar, I play bass, and dabble in the drums and keys. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Björn Fröberg Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well... I bought a bass about a month ago, still can't really get any decent basslines out of it, but maybe someday.. Well, I can play the piano theoretically. ( I know enough music theory to build about any chord, but can't get my fingers to play them.. ) And sing about as good as a hamster. Does that count for something? I'd really like to play many instruments, like drums, keys, etc. (and guitar and bass, of course) so that I could record projects all by myself.. Maybe someday.. - Bob Freebird A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielT Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 My major instrument in college was Euphonium (baritone horn) but my lip is weak these days as well. I also play bass, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, trombone, tuba, very little piano, voice, and I love to rhythmitize on anything that sounds the least bit hollow.

MarshallGibson_6 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Guitar- Pretty good, half assed, OK(I suppose) Bass--- Stellar. Violin- My first instrument from the age of 7 until 10, when I began guitar. Ignored it for years and am just now trying to get back into it with a Yamaha Silent Violin. I'm kind of lame, at the moment. Don't sell anything. Just keep it all. Let it pile up and see it grow tall. Up thru the roof and into the sky. More is always better so pile it sky high.

MarshallGibson_6 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 You've got to be careful not to get the violin bow's resin all over your neck as it can make everything so sticky. And without the resin, there's no friction to create the note. Don't sell anything. Just keep it all. Let it pile up and see it grow tall. Up thru the roof and into the sky. More is always better so pile it sky high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbo_Tangent Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Piano/organ/keyboards Drums + miscellaneous percussion Harmonica Bass Singing The thing is, I can do pretty much whatever I can imagine on bass, guitar, or singing. It comes out pretty naturally... Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of fluency on the other stuff; but I can learn and play parts on them pretty competently. Maybe I just haven't paid my dues on the other stuff. Phil Tangent Studios http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Tangent2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
please-drive-faster Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Originally posted by funkjazz: i played upright bass in high school jazz band Same here! Bass clef was a bitch to read after using treble your whole life. Anyway, I still play my tenor and alto sax to keep in practice. I can carry a rock song on drums and trying to learn the piano.

John Merritt Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I can hold it up on bass, I play banjo, lap slide instruments like dobro, mandolin, uke, and I'm just starting to learn some fiddle...not quite as soothing when you're a beginner on the fiddle. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
