I play the Guitar. I have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I have been playing it for about a year now.

I was inspired to play the guitar by Slash a former Guns N' Roses member (My favorite band) and in Velvet Revolver atm.

I mostly play guitar and a little bass, piano/organ, and harmonica.
Some of the people that really got me into music are Ennio Morricone, Bob Dylan, The Who, Zeppelin, and Jack White.

But mostly Morricone and Dylan.

My dad still has his guitar from about 25 years ago, so I found it and wanted to start playing. I'm inspired by people like Kirk Hammet (Metallica's my facourite band), Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani and whoever else I missed.

Bass and I was inspired by the man in my avatar, Cliff Burton. Also I was sort of drafted into it because my friends all wanted to do drums or guitar, and none wanted to do bass, and I liked how I can use my fingers since I must be dyslexic when it comes to using a pick. I physically can not use one. So my fingers do the job. The sound isnt as clear, but it sounds really heavy and I can play faster with them. I usually use 2 but occasionally I will use 3 fingers.

Trombone. After listening to ska as long as I have, I really wanted to play a horn instrument. It was either trombone or trumpet. I plumped for trombone because I like the sound more and I think it looks snazzier. 8)

I play electric guitar. My dad inspired me to play and so did my grandfather. I kept playing and my inspiration turned to Bill Steer (Carcass, ex-Napalm Death, Firebird).

Violin, a fiddlist on a show (foregot what one) inspired me actually. I love it. Then I want to learn guitar, which I can say I get most of my inspiriation just from listening to rock music and wanting to play it REALLY bad.

Trumpet, inspired to play it because it just owned in itself and didn't need further inspiration...
