Do you play an instrument? if so which and why?

I've been playing the bass for more than half my life now. :) I have to admit though that the bass was not my first choice. I wanted to become a drummer. But a good friend of mine introduced me to the bass and I fell in love with it. I just love the role of the bass in a band and music in general. I love how it has a supportive role and te fact that your main goal is to keep everything together --- to provide a solid foundation. There's this feeling of satisfaction when you know you're doing your job and making everyone else in the band look good. :)

I play electric guitar. I have grown up playing instruments since I was a kid. I had a piano keyboard since I was in diapers and grew up and learned to play a few songs on it even though I wasn't very good at it. In elementary school i joined orchestra and played the violin. I played that for a couple years and got bored and started playing the cello. In junior high i got bored with orchestra and switched to band. I started playing the sax and of course i didn't like it so i switched to trumpet and played that until the 10th grade and quit cause i wanted to join choir. After high school I stayed instrumentless for about a year and decided i needed an instrument in my life. So i invested in a guitar. I have had previous "stringed instrument" experience. I have now deemed my self a worthy guitar player and I never get bored with it. I learn more and more every time I play the guitar and am constantly learning and getting better. I like to see playing guitar as gaining exp and leveling up whenever you get another big riff down it is an awsome feeling. Playing guitar keeps me very busy and I wish I would have picked it up in the early stages of my life because I could only imagine how much better I would be at guitar than I already am!

i started playing guitar and piano when i was eleven. and i want to learn bass and drums as well soon.

i play acoustic guitar 2 years and i like it but because the accident of my band that i can really tell now im not really want to play guitar because beside my guitar is poor and im not really master so i reduce my time to play guitar

I play the piano best (had 2 years of lessons and otherwise self taught). I like to write my own songs and improvise. I played the oboe and had lessons for 3 and a half years, but my sister sold it because she needed the money. I play the recorder (self taught too). I wish I could play more like the ukulele or guitar, which my sister plays. But my hands are kind of too small for the guitar. They can't reach some chords.

I have been playing the piano for 10 years in my childhood, I chose it because I was in love with this instrument, I was toataly crazy about this. I hope that one day I will have the opportunit to have my own instrument,because I used the piano in the music club only!

I am a self taught guitarist both electric and acoustic. I did take 5 years of lessons for the piano and drums and lyrical writting which have left me with alot love for each instrument.

I do wish that I could play an instrument, but i can't. i have a tremendous love for music. I have often thought of learning to play the guitar. That is the instrument that most inspires my love for music.

I play: Acoustic guitar since I was in Grade school. I learned to play guitar by my own, no one taught me how. My favorite would be my HARMONICA.. My way of getting girls when I was in college.. serenading them with romantic songs..

Also I really want to play tablas. Are there any tabla players in this discussion?

I have been playing guitar for about six years now, and sometimes drums. I got interested in playing the guitar when I was young, I would see people playing the guitar and be amazed at the screaming high pitched sounds that it makes. As for the drums I thought it is really cool since childhood. But I don't practice anymore. I'm focusing on learning a new language now.

I didn't play any instruments but I really want to learn Piano. I think will have to learn this when I will send my kids Piano lessens.
