Im wondering, exactly how many of the musical experts on GS play instruments. I played the sax a couple years back myself, but then I quit so I could learn the Bass. I just now started to finally learn the Bass, but its pretty cool so far.

So, anyone else here play an ainstrument? If so, what kind?, how good are you? why did you start?

I play bass, because it owns all instruments, and I started a little over a year ago. I quit my band to play in the school concert band to learn to read and get a lot of extra playing. Do you read music or tabs?

As of now, im using tabs. Back when I was in the school band i could read sheet music, but its been a while.

I agree though, Bass does own. When I bought one, I didnt even know what it was. Me and my friend were gonna start a band or something and he was gonna be lead guitar, so hes like "you should be bass" and im just like, whatever. I actually like it alot more than normal guitar though. Particularly because its so prominent in Nu Metal....

Go to bassplayer.com and check out the lessons there. I haven't seen them in a while, but they should help reading the sheet music. Once you learn that stuff, you can do anything. The kid who plays bass with me plays lead guitar parts and stuff like Victor Wooten with his eyes shut just from learning to read.

I play guitar and I write songs very frequently, Im not in a band yet because Im more worried about getting school over with then focusing to much on music. but I really want a career in music and im gonna try my hardest.
Ive been playing for about.. a little over 2 years. Everything was self taught. I really found my inspiration song-writing inspiration threw Nirvana and my guitar inspiration threw Alice in Chains and so on so fourth.

But overall I really love music. I'll stop ranting now :P

I still play my trumpet a little bit, not as good as I was back in high school. I enjoy it still, and that is what matters I suppose.

I play guitar and sing. Not much, but I'm kind of a musician, I guess.
