Well, I'm a music lover. I'm the kind of person that listens to almost all the genres of music. And, also, I really like t play'em by myself.
I have an acoustic guitar and an eletric guitar, and I play them for like.. 4 years. Recently, I bought a violin, on which I pretend to focus myself really hard. I also have a harmonica, but I really don't know how to play it (That's a hard instrument for me).
At last, I have plans (or dreams) to play sax, transversal flute and cello.. But in a remote future, 'cause I'm really out of time (and money).
And you, do you play any instrument? And would you like to? Which one?

I am definitely a music lover and when I was in the seventh grade I played the trombone in the marching band but that did not last long,and I also tried to learn to play the guitar,right now the only instrument I can play is the Harmonica but I would love to learn to play the drums someday,because I am always drumming on stuff to the beat,and one of my old friends told me I had the potential of a drummer because I can drum to a beat.

Percussion is definitely not my kind of instrument.. I can't keep a beat even when beating with my hands in the wood, for example, which is kinda shameful. =x
But, if I try to make a rhythm in the guitar, I can do it.
Well, varies from person to person. =)

I agree it does vary from person to person,some people are good with keeping with a beat on drums,while some are good with the guitar,and some are better with instruments like you see in a marching band,have a great day,good luck in your life, and Happy Posting.

I play guitar for a year and an half now, and I really love it. When I was young I played the piano, but I wasn't very talented and I didn't like it that much, so I quitted. Besides playing guitar, I would like to play drums. But first I have to prove that I've enough time for it, so I have to work well in school. But when I have the time (and money) I'm going to learn to play the drums.

Yeah, I heard that drums is an instrument that requires quite a lot of practicing.. The friends of mine that play it usually train for at least some hours a day.
I really don't have much time to practice and so.. Must be because of this that I play guitar for like.. 4 years and, still, don't know how to play THAT much.

In my early, school band days, I played five woodwind instruments, alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, clarinet and bass clarinet. I have also learned to play a bit of the keyboard. Now, I pretty much only play clarinet and recorder and, I shamefully admit rarely. Reading your post reminded me of how much I love to play music and I might get my clarinet out tonight. :)

It's good to see when your post touches people, even very lightly. =)
I forgot to mention that I have a keyboard at home too, but I don't feel motivated to try it.. Must be because piano fascinates me so much more..
And I'm terrible at "blowing" instruments!

Guitar is my main instrument, but I don't consider myself "good' on it yet. I learned it all by myself, by playing. Therefore, I know nothing about music theory, like scales, techniques and etc..
But people says I play well.. That's enough for me, I think. =)
And oh: I never been in a band. I'm curious to see how I would fit into it, but afraid if I'll do it right.
